Word on the merc forum says John Travolta got $100k insurance payout, Because it was a rare colour (Brown)
Its a rare colour because nobody liked it, And it would have been changed, Also the crooks that got caught have to pay the insurance company back, (I like that), Imagine that in the uk, Wonder if the dole pay it for you, ?,
Who has a brown car these days ?, 1-silver, 2-blue. 3-Red, 4-white, 5-black, Brown nah, only if it was a cortina,
Datsun bluebird, Fiat uno,

Update report AM. Spring at last fitted on car. Took it to MOT garage and it passed, (although I had to pay another 30 quid). Yippee, on Monday I can go to post office and give them 200 odd quid and they will give me a guinness label for my windscreen. Always assuming of course I dont break another spring on the way in the numerous un-repaired pot holes, speed humps etc that I may come accross whilst innocently trying to roll a fag at 50mph. I dunno, life is hard on Struggle Street.......

It cost me another £70 all together but I can use the clamps for less strenuous tasks! I did ask him how much it would have cost but he was non commital so who knows? One thing I did notice was the vast difference in the emissions test. The pass rate for mine was 3.00 l/m. First test Mean Absorption coefficient after correction was 1.94 l/m, the second test was 0.88 l/m. So twice as clean second time around? The car had done 250 miles between the tests so obviously different fuel in tank. Interesting.

Is it true that in a diesel car you can add a few litres of Kerosene to the nearly full fuel tank and then drive the shit out of the car for half hour, and that this will blow out any carbon deposits and lower the emissions?

Potholes.
Due to a problem I had been held back at work for a few hours, so was not in best of moods, eventually got in the car to head home, it was blowing a gale, cold and pis~ing down. Heading along the main road that ran through the industrial estate “Bang”, I hit a pothole, I knew the road was littered with potholes but due to the severity of the rain and the fact the pothole was full of water I just did not see it, tyre shredded and wheel destroyed.
I’m in the process of changing the wheel, rain pis~ing down my neck and out of my trouser leg, when a car pulls up, gentleman gets out of car and approaches me , conversation roughly goes:-
Gentleman: Have you hit one of the potholes ?
Me: F##king yeh.
Gentleman: I done the same thing last night, I damaged my wheel and tyre.
Me: Yeh, my tyres f##ked and so is the f##king wheel.
Gentleman: It’s terrible the state this roads in.
Me: Yeh, I travel it every day, normally manage to miss the f##king potholes.
Gentleman: I am going to write to the council to try and recoup the costs of damage, are you ?
Me: Yeh, it’s not worth f##king claiming insurance, may as well see if I can f##king recoup something.
Gentleman: Can I suggest we swap details, we can therefore explain to the council this is a danger and not a one off incident, we can use each others experience as corroborating evidence.
I agree, on completing the task of changing the wheel we both write down contact details and exchange pieces of paper, the gentleman’s details:-
The Reverend............(F##K, F##K, F##k)
I did write to the council, reply followed:-
The road in question is inspected as per our statutory requirements every six months. The previous inspection shows no defects, plus no defects have been reported since, (I’m f##king reporting one, and so is the Rev Joe Bloggs).
The potholes were repaired within a few days of my letter being posted !!!
I did not pursue claim, would most likely have been put down to an act of God...

I wouldnt try it, Ok maybe in the old days, But modern diesels dont like it. Just get on a fast road and drive in second or third at the rev limit, If you red line a diesel have a look behind at the smoke, Do that until it dosent smoke, at least once a day, Keeps it clean, People potter about in diesels, Kick their arses now and then,3rdforum wrote:Is it true that in a diesel car you can add a few litres of Kerosene to the nearly full fuel tank and then drive the shit out of the car for half hour, and that this will blow out any carbon deposits and lower the emissions?
