What a crudding crock of shoot!

MMMmmmm!!!

£100 pounds worth of twix!

£100... Mmmm,.

That's 1 tank of petrol in the Jensen. 250 miles if i'm lucky.....

 

[fossyant]

The pedals on my two road bikes cost more than £100 a pair........

The bloody tires cost more than £50 a pair..... like comparing a Trabant to a Ferrari.....

People think you are nuts, but when you explain that the type of riding you do would destroy a cheap bike very quickly, they then appreciate the cost a bit more.....

 

[e-rider]

I wouldn't say you're nuts - just loaded!

If I had that kind of cash I'd do the same.

£100 a tankfull. "A fool and his money are easily parted".

For your delectation, it is in Argos Autumn/winter catalogue, Challenge/Oriana 332/1061.

Did I mention the front wheel was out of true already? (mileage ridden < 1 mile

I'll raise you to £ 132.40 (ex mil Land Rover, twin underseat 10 gallon tanks and two 5 gallon jerry cans in the back). Oh, and if I get 15 mph then that is a good day, probably single figures off road!

On one occasion the man in the petrol station came out to see what I was doing when I was filling up one of the underseat tanks!

What A Very Fine Chap you are.

If you can understand that, welcome to the Land Rover Special Vehicles dep't.

 

[jimboalee]

I've just had depressing feeling.
For a moment, I thought I was on the Ford Communications Network chatboard.


ps Don't you mean mpg?

 

[fossyant]

Jim - is that yours...oh you lucky bugger !! Very Nice...!!!!

Standing in front of the vents like that so we can't count them?

Someone on here was posting updates on how brilliant his £50 road bike from Toys R Us was going recently, with regular mileage updates. He got to 200 miles and then disappeared.

I wonder what happened?

We have a guy at work with one of those (except he brought his before they were reduced). He's had it maybe 6 or 8 months..i asked him the other day, how are you getting on with it ?
No problems was the reply...he rides it in to work most days, it still looks ok.

 

[jimboalee]

Not an FF. What do you think I am? Made of money???


I think I can raise you and see your £132.

My ex Bruvva in law had a Bayliner 'Bowrider' Skiboat. 30 gallon tank. 3 x 5 gallon gerrycans.
A Land Rover Discovery which drank 3/4 tank getting to Aberdovey and back.
A day's outing with slipway fees etc came to nearly £500.


The moral of the tale is :- I bought a used SWorks for £900, which was the equivalant of two weekend's waterskiing.

I've ridden it to Aberdovey twice to watch the waterskiing. Still got the bike, but the ex B i L had to drop the boat.

Bike wins again.....

You can refuel these one's while on the move from jerrycans.

Wife has a cheap DS MB(Similar to the £100 one ) - Bought it about 7 years ago. It's done about 1400 miles with no problems (May have been on the Car Cycle Carrier for 1385 miles though !)

It's still in the shed - One day she may want to use it again but at least we didn't spend £££ on something she wouldn't use.
