    Yes sure Ron Our dollar is worth around 0.59 to the American $1 at the moment. So 85 litres is about 22 gallons give or take. 3.785 litres = 1 gallon U.S So that would be about $109 U.S Yikes so that is around $4 a gallon U.S here.

    On another note; We here in New Zealand have to have our cars tested for road worthiness on a regular basis to be legally allowed to use them on our roads. Cars after 2000 are checked annually The beast being pre 2000 gets checked 6 monthly. If you are caught driving without a w.o.f you may...

    Hi I broke a door handle off 1 morning a wee while ago. A GM replacement is $159.00 from Rock Auto delivered to me here in N.Z. Better to go with genuine? As I see some of the other makes are considerably cheaper. Just in the process of stripping the panel off to have a look to see if there is...

    Its a bigger climb back out of here tomorrow. About a 1/10th gradient so ill look at everything again when i get home. You cant drive out of here in a car with cooling issues so if there is an issue i should be able to see evidence of it.

    I had a wee race up a stretch of road with a big road bike recently. I wound her up to 4500rpm between gear changes and pulled up to around 95mph. I wonder if that cleared the block of some build up as She does spend a bit of time parked up in the garage.

    Yes me to. I have had this talk before and know where it leads. It was my fault or it is how i clean my vehicle. Or i should not use a chamois. Is just disappointment. I'm not faulting his workmanship but his care. Maybe we become to attached! I like to look after my shit so maybe I should...
