Don’t understand your post Sean. Did you break one and need to replace the mirror?

A friend of mine picked up his new Lexus today. I’m looking forward to see how it goes in the real world compared to the below widow sticker 😱

Not really much of a change.

Sounds like a plan Sean. They are doing it well

Sean, The current EuroVI rated diesels, are far cleaner than the equivalent petrol engines. Yes, there is a DPF and AdBlue required, but that’s a slight penalty for cleanliness. The diesels you refer Sean, are very old fashioned, mechanical injected types that clogged up Europe’s cities...

There you go. We certainly don’t want to upset Ms Georgie 😱 We are on the same diesel page for extended travel 😊

Great to see we are all on the same page Michel. Yes, fully agree the smaller the battery, the faster the discharge, based on what you are using. I love that we all love technology 😊 Great result re the AC Michel, new AC are definitely the way to go. I estimate that for my house, to use the AC...

Sean, I didn’t cover your question about Volvo going full electric, and if they have shot themselves in the foot. To answer you fully, it needs a little explanation. Sorry for the lengthy explanation below. Their new C40 recharge model (based on their XC40) has a range of 418km. This is the...

Sean, It’s always good to pass on things learned. I never thought much about the efficiency of appliances either, the kitchen fridge was the first item that brought new technology to my attention, and borrowing an in-line power usage meter, then it progressed from there. I know nothing about...

What a terrific result with minimal input Brian. Great work. It’s nice to see that the homework we do pays off. We used the Daikin system also. Your usage of 0.61, is also very efficient. My place sits between 0.5-0.8 depending if both fridges cycle in together and a bit higher if we have the...

Speaking of electric truck and cars, and now the soaring cost of electricity and gas, over the last 2 years I have been setting up my house to be very self sufficient, as possible getting ready for retirement which seems to be getting very close, very quickly 😫. As a basic rule, anything in a...

Great questions Sean. No, it doesn’t fall in our ball park about Volvo cars, but it seems every man and his dog is actually ringing or emailing us to find out information as Volvo car are not easily contactable. However all of your questions do relate to us and other OEM’s of cars and trucks...

Love the ground clearance 🤣

Probably the Haval Jolion or the now superseded H3. Pretty poor figures for engine power, but I can’t see a tare weight. I really don’t know why they offer small capacity petrol engines with bigger vehicles. Really need to be diesel. These are made by parent company Great Wall Motors...

The haziness makes it look like an early winters morning. Great pic.

Looks great. I was going to ask the same question.

No rivets anymore Sean, steel panels and composite materials that are welded or vulcanised. Like you said, extremely strong. Some Kenworth still run riveted cabs.

I visit our dealership in Tamworth often, I like it there.

My 25 Chev had mechanical rod to external band type brakes to the back wheels only. It was very “character building” to drive if they got in any way hot. A mate of mine has a Pontiac Chieftain, V8 3 on the tree. Smooth as a babies bum.

Unfortunately it’s still a bit cold for commando for me 🙄
