The Retirement Thread

[Cavalol]

Later (HE) one. Can't even begin to imagine how low the MPG is on the early carb ones is. Probably measured in lamp posts!

Tomorrow is 4 months until Christmas.

That's summer down under. Should be out in the sun enjoying a good barby and quite a few cool ones.

Pal of mine had an early carbed V12.
You could see the fuel gauge moving when he floored it. Reckoned it was doing less than 2 miles to the gallon on the dual carriageway between Bromsgrove to Redditch!

Enjoyed my 20 miler. For those who know Cheshire I went out to Arley Hall via Appleton Thorn. 90% quiet lanes, lovely.
The ride took me over the M6. South bound was solid, virtually stationary. I understand that some people have no choice but why would anyone choose to sit in a car on a sunny bank holiday.

I worked in Lower Peover for the 22 years before I joined this wonderful retired life. Great places to cycle.

Our ride yesterday crossed the M6 south of Preston. Totally rammed northbound.

Every time I hear of traffic issues at J19 I smile a little......or punch the air.

J26 - J27(M62), is fun during the morning rush hours

Mine did 12 mpg when it was running.

I virtually lived in my car for many years. I just love listening to Sally traffic on radio 2 in the morning. Like you I punch the air.

And when it wasn't!

It did not do any miles to the gallon.

An old windbag?

I have had a Great day.

I have had a crap day. A close relative passed away at about 1600hrs. Expected, but still upsetting.

Not good, sorry to hear that.
