More economical driving and riding

GO **** YOURSELF!

 

Dropping by the day.

Harrumph.

 

Indeed, I saw Facebook.

 

Made in a factory in NI funded by some dubiously acquired government money
granted to a bankrupt coke dealer and never achieving sufficient market
penetration to repay the development costs?

 

<Cue London **** cyclists diversion>

I watched some twat sail through a red light in Stockwell, on my way
home this evening.

Family was crossing the road. Little kid, must have been all of three,
was running ahead of his parents, as they do. Twat cyclist missed him by
this --> <-- much. Kid reacted in time, reeled back, and fell sprawling.
Twat cyclist just fucked off.

There's another ****, on my commuting route, on a red and white
Specialized, who wears a white cycle helmet, who seems to specialise in
this, as well. I'm going to ram the **** one day.

 

I'd go with the part-painted. It gives a very traditional look
steel-frame look, to an ultra-modern bike. It's great.

 

For a combination of traditional and modern looks then Hammerite Carbon
Finish has got to be the answer, Shirley. Brushed, not sprayed, of
course.

 

My car driving habits have changed identically to yours since fuel
pricing became exorbitant. I also now make a conscious effort to do the
major fill ups at Tesco to get some clubcard points.

As for the bike, no comment, it's been on the shed since September.

 

:

that'll teach you to lend it to Dougie Lampkin

 

it appears to work for both

 

costs me about £ 120 month in tax, but as my coummute is 100 miles a day
(considered private mileage), I'd be out of pocket if I opted not to have
the card.

 

I frequently stick the cruise control at 77, and get 53 MPG on a long
enough run.

Also have been known to get about 40MPG round town, those VW diesels
are amazing.

Take that, suckers!

 

Christ I miss having a fuel card.

 

Would this be a bad time to point towards my tax-free petrol card?

 

I'm trying to keep the average on the Octavia above 50mpg, which is
taking some doing, but then I've always tried to eek the mpg out of the car

I'm not sure it's changed the way I ride, but it's certainly made me
aware of the consumption, and I'll probably choose the car over the bike
if I just need transport due to the consumption.

The Grand Tour planned for the summer is proving interesting as it looks
like taking the bike will cost 1/2 as much again in fuel as taking the
car, which seems mental. I wouldn't take the car, but even so.

 

That must be great comfort to you while you sit at home, gazing at the
bike out of the window, wishing you weren't paying for three properties
and could go and ride it with free petrol.

 

Pah. My car uses some fuel to do some miles.

I fear the fuel bill from the drive to Rimini though - that's going to
be a shocker.

 

I punched one rather hard for nearly taking out my eldest in a similar
incident when she was around 3.

 

I can recommend a walking stick - in the spokes.

 

Jesus wept - all this talk of wogs, it's like listening to my old man
and his brothers chatting.
