Oh goodie, like it would be too cheap now to fill a tank. Someone should whip someone's ass quite well from such unfair manipulation of petrol prices. I would be willing to whip, if I would know where and who that someone is to be blamed from this :lol:

This has happened for decades, it's part of how the oil companies control prices. -1 points for reading the daily maul.

I blame immigrants.
Actually, I don't.
But I'm sure the daily mail does.

Ahhahah, if any paper would have even slightest hint towards that direction here it would be fined before paper comes out from print and if you accidently type something like that to major public web boards or pages you will be in court faster than police would start rape investigation :lol:

One of the LRO team whinged at me a couple of years back cos I'd not restored an ex-MoD SIII LWB Soft-top 12v the right way............
I figure that since the thing had been blown up in Iraq some months previously, once I 'd restored it to running order, any modifications I made on top could be easily reversed - expecially as I'd bought the thing.......
( And working for the MoD as a contractor, repairing and selling on these alongside the REME ,I'd know about these ...)


With you on the immigrants though. If you wanna get into a country at least do it the proper way!

yeah i knwo what you mean, i cant be doing with rivit counters, landrover never did! the amount of 'unique' (for lack of better words)that came out of solihull is unbelivable!
my s3 is a 1978, with a post 1980 front axel, and it did have a series 2 diesel engine. with a late s3 gearbox... and that was how it came out the factory!
