It was the same when I started racing old cars . . . now we can buy proper stuff. I learnt a lot about engine tuning and retuning to get the best out of what was available. getting good power and high efficiency out of old turds is a challenge, making them stay together with recycled piss is...

solar powered panels on the car I was referring to, not a field full next to the house. Hybrids offer the best com[promise to my mind. my 25 mile commute involves 2 slow town sections, IF I had a hybrid with a 25 mile range great, I could charge it at work, however, I could be squeaky clean...

This should be compulsory for all EV/hybrids, its daft not to do it IMO

the sooner we get diesel off the roads the better IMO, horrible stuff. 3/4 of car buyers buy second hand, I guess there's still a question of used older reliability. In our house we have been discussing it, an electric for the smaller 2nd car is most likely when it gets replaced, which will be...

As an aside, I've already earmarked one of my Lambrettas for electric conversion, as and when a kit arrives on the market that will give the range/performance for it to be useful to me. I have looked at doing it myslef, likewise converting a Cortina to electric, but frankly I can't be arsaed...

I'mnot a doubter, but Hybrids will knock off fossil fuel before battery only does IMO, the tech is already out there proven and sustainable. . . . fully electric won't be the majority for a while yet.

for racing we use real stuff. It aint cheap, but you get a big bang for your buck tree huggers, look away now! :laugh: https://aaoil.co.uk/product-category/racing-fuel/

I just got a bottle of Extra virgin olive oil, mine smokes like Serge Gainsbourg. I have a new ( to me ) car this year, I have tried super unleaded and unledaed, can't tell the difference performance wise, did get slightly better fuel economy with super, but it did not offset the additional cost.

we're all queueing up to spend tens of thousands we don't have on vehicles with little support infrastructure and a bigger carbon footprint than a Rolls Royce! in all seriousness, hybrids will be the norm very soon I hope.

Good question, it kind of depends on the specific engine and its Volumetric efficiency, design/set up. . . . . I olny use 105 octane leaded super duper megabuck petrol in my race car, it does 15 MPG . . . . on a good day . . . . it would melt, literally if I fed it E10. I have a similar...

most of the scooters have retarded timing to account for pissy petrol so scooter1 we should be ok. but you know to use super at least anyway ;-) the other issue for older bangers, classics etc is the corrosion it causes. Its not water ( although long term that can be an issue), it's the pH...
