people walking on the roads like they owned it
didn't help that we were in the poous in stealth mode
John was impressed with the poous now only because he had agreed to pay for the fuel
considering it was his money and he is tighter than steve 4i I didn't hang about fooker still did 54 mpg
tight fooker

 

lol, my BM did 60.4 in total over the weekend!

and its only got one little battery

 

i did 40 quid in fuel in that was in a std 2.0 twin cam damn fuel leak

 

james i was trying to get the least mpg i could

 

the people walking on roads who actually look clean at you before they just step out and then stop mid way across the road to talk to their mate! patience was being tested yesterday!

 

i wasnt hanging about either

and i had a woman with a small bladder with me, that adds at least 20 miles onto the trip going into every bloody services

 

Christ I think I did in about £140 in fuel over the weekend, but that does include quite a few bursts of the throttle and the sat nav taking me around random exits away from Silverstone

 

I think I did all of about £15 and change as I forgot to takethe recipt with me when I filled up yesterday evening

But I did have the ac on all the time and the little piddly engine had to lug around at least 100 kgs more than it was meant to carry on a day to day basis . Also, the return journey was 13 miles shorter and took the same time.

 

It took me ages to get out yesterday, took longer getting in though. Didn't do too bad on fuel, only ran up to 9psi of boost tough, but did give it some. Nearly 380 miles to £60 of £1.42 a litre of super.

 

few of us from our club waited til the very last to pack up and leave so to avoid the queues going out.spent £55 on fuel in the fiesta this weekend which did inc coming from southend to drop missis at enfield,enfield to silverstone with some heavy right foot action on the way lol,silverstone to enfield then enfield to southend.im sure fiestas have coffee jar fuel tanks lol

 

I filled up the Jeep, the Lotus and the Westy on way there.... and then on way home. £460 included drinks and crisps though

Was worth it though. Goood day out

 

Nearly 500 mile round trip and £140 of fuel.

Good day though.

 

haha i got that and even after honking my horn at a group taking up the whole road (which was being used a fair bit by cars moving about) it the still took ages to move and one or two gave me a dirty look...tossers

 

Is your BMW the one with the MSD number plate on it james.

 

Were you wearing you flat cap,glasses and were you smoking a pipe.

 

You have plenty of money and earn more than most of us do.

 

I put 80 quid in mine before i left then put another 46 quid in before i got to ford fair.The fuel light come on when i left Blackys so i put another 20 quid in.

Fooking fuel prices piss me off.

 

I wasnt saying that. I was saying how expensive fuel is nowaday. Especially for trackcars!

 

I dread to think how much the fuel is at the pumps on site.

 

no thats kennys M3

i agree about the fuel costs, its mental,

 

£40 on fuel and at least £2000 for a new engine lol.....

 

oh dude. what happened?

 

What let go?

 

Gutted mate..

 

Was hard to get out but was good to catch up with a few people in the queue as they walked past. The M5 did just over 500 miles and consumed £130 of juice. Mind you, she did get all the way home in 2hrs 20mins once we hit the Mway..

 

No idea how much fuel we used, the mrs paid.

Result

 

fookin hell stu thats some going

 

Lee, Carlos, Mat.....

On way home the boost solenoid pipe popped off resulting in a massive amount of boost...... Melted 2 plugs, at least 1 piston and blew the entire contents of the cooling system out in about 2 seconds.... Terminal I recon

In 7 days I'm going to be enroute to Nurburgring for 5 days.... Project new build starts tonight deadline saturday night so I can get a few miles on the clock sunday ready for the 7.20am ferry from Dover...!!!!


Fortunatly I have a brand new complete engine in the garage in semi kit form so gotta get the bottom end stripped for a rebore (Cosworth only make FRS pistons in .5mm oversize) then build it thursday night ready for fitting friday/saturday.....


Failing that I'm going in the wifes 1.6 Auto Focus.....



Steve

 

On the plus side.....

the Focus RS only track session at 2.40pm the car was flying...



Plus the pipe could've come off then and made a mess on track or worse still let go on an Autobahn at 160mph.....



Steve

 

Gutted for ya mate

 

That is bad news but you have most of whats needed, sound like a man with a plan and the 'ring for motivation.

Good luck mate and hope you get it all together and sorted for your trip!

 

Thank you yeh i know what you mean matey its a piss take.

 

Or right flash git lol.

 

Nightmare Steve gutted for you but at least you are getting cracked on with the build.Let us all know how you get on.


Im glad i got my fueling checked or i might of had a engine rebuild on mine to do too.

 

Glenn, i take it Will had a look at it. How far out was it?

 

jay said it was your gay m3 cabrio

 

no i parked mine behind the toilet block

i dont think an M3 would do 60 mpg i think kennys does about 22

 

I get that out of my range rover
my cossie used to about 30 mpg on a run and it didn't look like it belonged to a gangster rapper or a gay

 

I said it might be james you tart and you replied with its his and hers M3's

oh just to add the chavolution did alright on fuel yesterday 220 mile £55 thats the best ive had
