  1. I quite fancy a 1490 2wd - you'd recommend then?
  2. First video, opening scene: criminally high stump - why?!
  3. Too cheap. Get that for a 3 tonner.
  4. Ah now you are sort of right! There are a few tesco / sains etc that host the other petroleum cos forecourt hence what you have observed. Re the tanker driver thing, I have a good mate that drives them for watsons; yes same gasoline for tesco or texaco; but different additive pack for each; driver preselects customer and predetermined additives are pumped through. They are not the same! Tanker driver should have said that bit!
  5. Urban myth; thought it had died ages ago. Yes BP, Exon et al SUPPLY it to the supermarkets, but it 100% isn't the same base gasoline and additive pack as they put on their own forecourts. Promise ya, been in that industry.
  6. That Sir is the problem; empty calories. Get some vegetables! Correct +1 +1 again, +1. Not designed to work 7 days, simples. Another thing; the comment above about clean organic natural food... couldn't agree more. <90% of the produce we buy in shops and supermarkets isn't food! Mass produced, refined, dead, junk, chemical soup is what it is. Aswell as the malnutrition, people are killing themselves with calorific poisoning - we eat way too much, myself included until I got sick. I got seriously ill - CRON diet became a matter of life and death.
  7. Lowest Derv 105.9p here still at BP and Texaco; 106.9p at Tesco, Sainsburys; 107.9p at Esso; 111.9p at Shell.
  8. 12 hours of torrential rain. Enjoy the summer.
  9. Sods Law applies every time; full tank when next to real garage, running on fumes with tesco 15 seconds from my house... Got some BP derv today tho - £1.05
  10. I'm no fan either, hate Tesco in particular but not got an extra 90 minutes to go burning more fuel to buy better or more ethical fuel. Anyway, the £1 thing...
  11. Diesel only; unfortunatley extreme convenience wins over ultimate quality...
  12. Anyone else had this? Just looked at bank statement and it shows £1 for Tesco pay at pump! Since minimum fuel delivery is 2 litres I can't have put such a small amount in and wouldn't anyway. A quick google says they take it to check your card and then refund it - no refund showing! What on earth next... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2333403 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tesco+pay+at+pump+%C2%A31&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=H7TUVbn0CvPy7AaZjYvQBg
  13. Alas no, the skidded unit had the stamp further back, or is that the tractor rather than the engine?! Hydro 84 spec shows 246 as pic'd:
  14. I've got the book as below that came with tons of other stuff from the FC sale. The Bruun parts manual doesn't show the engine number! It's most certainly a hydro skid unit, 2 filters etc; one for transmission, another for hydrostatic. Way ahead of its time, O&F changes critical... I've looked on the block before, think it might be hidden by the cab frame.
  15. Open up a Toyota avensis vs a VW Golf. Everything is smaller in the Toyota; tiny precision parts all thought out. Germanic is noticeably bigger and tougher and carefully put together but not quite to the insane detail of the Jap motor. Different culture and mentality really show through the construction...
  16. No but I've always loved Echos. In general I prefer Japanese engineering over German and I would trust an Echo (kioritz 2-stroke) engine over anything else. I've got a CS8002 Echo; it will outlast a 7910 Dol by decades but never get as much wood on the floor. The 620 is the one Echo that I have to say I just prefer over the dol 6100
  17. I can see that side of the coin sure, but if it represented society in general, it's terribly sad. So much for the common good. I know I'm missing the point a bit but can't construct the right words in my head!
