Re: Beating the ridiculous panic buyers.

the time the Concorde was designed, nobody had any thoughts about pollution or climate change - it was only about power and speed... Another interesting fact: the exhaust pollution is only 30% o a vehicle or plane, 70% of the fine dust is produced by the brakes (partwise with asbestos) and the tyres...

Re: Beating the ridiculous panic buyers.

what a nice photo - but how the hell they have got the plane to that fuel station...?
and by the way, this plane is refueled via the downside of the wings - he's a little bit more thirsty like our Jensens... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Le Mans Classic 2022

we have 2 cars listed for the competition at the moment, papers are submitted - but we're still not having any information from the race organisation... Regarding the communication up to now it looks like I'm not getting a start permit for my GT40, because of too many 'optimizations' Hope my friend/...

Re: Aviation gasoline (avgas) in cars

There is so named 'race fuel' or avgas available, it's having around 113 octane, was formerly used in F1 until the FIA restricted them to use standard fuel. Yes you may get it on private airports for sport planes, but be careful - in some countries they mark it like Diesel, because of difference in ...

Re: The value of an MOT test

Dave, the same with me/us as garage owners. In minimum our customers are coming twice a year, getting the car prepared for the winter season, then checking them for the summer season ( we're much often transporting them via our trailer, so they're not started before being checked in our garage) and ...

Re: The value of an MOT test

in Germany TÜV is obligatory every 2 years, in Belgium for a modern car every year for a vintage car every 2 years. They're only testing regarding a checklist if all is in the range that it works and they're having the equipment. In Belgium it's organized by the state and you have to apply for an ap...

Re: The value of an MOT test

I don't understand your discussion, here in Belgium we're having the 'autokeuring' every 2 years, the same in Germany. If tyres are older than 8 years they're having now grip - or worst case they're 'exploding' when get overheated, if the brakes are failing then at the end of the curve you're failin...

Re: Future

the future will be e-mobility. The problems regarding low range due to batterie capacity will be solved. At the moment we're still having the issue that only 42% of electricity is generated out of renewables, A car equipped wit a combustion engine is on average about 13 years on the street (in Germa...

Re: E10 petrol

Colin you're absolutely right. Most of the cars we're getting in spring time are suffering in 'winter influenza', other owners are coming beginning end of sept or oct to get their cars prepared for the winter season. Just what you're saying - add some products to get the fuel functional and the carb...
