1988 Vari-Ho - Same running issues return. *11.08.10*

[volvosneverdie]

I guess it all depends on how long you take to get it from 60 to the ton, on your private test track of course.....

0.5 seconds.
Thats what it felt like anyway.
I suppose we put a few extra mile on running up the road and back too.

Ive filled it, and reset the trip counter, so ill see what it gets milage wise back down to a quarter tank.

The only way to check for certain is to fill it 'til the pump clicks off, drive it a few hundred miles, then fill it again at the same place and work out what it's using

Nein,

That car still looks awesome! I need to get a vario soon, I feel the want!

Nice one bud

[JPB]

Ooh! A Fart-dater. How does that work then? D'you save them in a jar and stick a probe in there to give a rough idea of their vintage?

Interesting one, John. Been at the cabbage and Guinness diet again, have we? A quarter past three on the 6th I'd say.

Nice toy, but not as accurate as checking brim-to-brim and doing the sums.

Watch the young lad with the dark hair if you fill it at the Shell on Beach Road, he once tried to charge me £99 for a tankful when I filled the Dolly there.

Ok, gave the Hoe a good clean this morning and decided to fix the gouge/scratches down the drivers side.



Gouges be gone!







There, I fixed it.









Auto coolness.


And a special kick down switch.



Cheers all.

Awesome, dude, great to see you back in a 300.

How many is that you've had now?

Dan

[volvosneverdie]

This is my forth 300 in a year and a half Dan.
Also had a 406 and a Fiesta in there too.

I really must start keeping cars longer.

Every retro car should have a one.

Its good to be back in the game. Think im gonna hang on to this one (famous last words).
If I can learn to drive it economically.

[macplaxton]

LMAO @ the Elastoplasts!

Just be lighter on the loud pedal. It takes time to adjust to the constant-engine-note-but-still-accelerating phenomenon. Although I have to admit to resist the temptation of giving it some beans....
