Haha! Must of ragged the crap out of that!

 

[The Russian.]

Car raped!!

 

[Martin.]

Didn't even think this would be possible. But it had just had the Cat changed. No idea if this would make a difference though :s

 

[Gally]

I doubt it's been driven that hard, unless your Dad does like to drive quick?

 

[Jb40k]

Your lucky, mines come back with curbed wheels before!

 

[LiamR172]

More than likely left it on idle.

When its sitting in neutral the mpg drops and drops and drops.

 

[Stu.]

Is your dad 'kiwiNCFC' on here? Lol!

 

[Martin.]

He does drive stupidly fast and hard! I always have to say to him make sure you let it warm up properly because I know it will be given hard treatment.

Didn't know that leaving it on idle makes the mpg drop though, maybe it was left on for a while whilst my mechanic was checking the exhaust for blows or leaks.

 

[Lal B3N]

I would say he has reset and then driven daftly for a short burst.

Doubt you could get it that low even letting it tick over for an hour.

 

[Martin.]

Your lucky, mines come back with curbed wheels before!

He very careful though so that would never happen. Even if it did he would refurb them for me.

 

[v15ben]

That's funny!
My mum borrowed mine once and reversed into a lamppost.
Could have been worse ;

I've had this before stupidly let the mother borrow my ST when I had it she came back with chunks missing out the front wheels and all 4 centre caps missing all this in half hour :/ was crazy mad needless too say she's never been allowed to use any of my cars since

Try it and see. Takes less than an hour to get down

 

[dannyh172]

Mine didn't even come back when the wife took it to work ended up burnt out on the side of the road!

 

[Marky_]

More than likely left it on idle.

A reset and this.

 

[Adam G]

Definitely idle or drove all day in 2nd gear lol. I can get 16mpg on a track day round Donny.

 

[BeXE]

I'd love to know how that's possible. Even when absolutley caning mine, it refuses to drop below 22-25mpg.

 

[Mr Burns]

Your dad found Vtec.

How the hell do the centre caps disappear lol? Nicked?

 

[Balders172]

I used to get this in traffic worst is 7 then replaced coolant temp sensor and both lambda's not get 32+ just a thought

They fall off if a breeze of wind gets up mate, be under no illusion!!

 

[Matt e]

Mine once just randomly started counting down

 

[JHead]

I've hand mine read 3... (1.2 16v) having said that, it was because it was before i was 17, so i was just doing tiny maneuvres in my driveway... :L

 

[ConnorCup]

Lowest i've had is 20mpg, i/m guessing i'm not driving it properly

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yo for the Dads.

 

[Adam G]

Yo for the Dads.

What about me? I fit in the Grandad category too.

 

[Tony Hunter]

What about me? I fit in the Grandad category too.

Lets go thrash some cars then.

 

[Wick]

On idle you move zero miles but are burning fuel... Therefore zero mpg? Or am I missing a trick here lol.

 

[Adam G]

I'm going for it in the morning, not much traffic when we get up.

 

[Adam G]

No I think you're right but how about if you stick it in reverse?

 

[Inequality Street]

I have seen high 14s in my 200, but this is terrible on fuel anyway. Average around 26 now

 

[Tony Hunter]

It self fills= get a full tank, sorted.

 

[Adam G]

Need bigger mirrors then?

 

[Tony Hunter]

You got no hair??

 

[Adam G]

Got a bit left, I just stick an old photo on my mirror. Reminds of when I used to look quite good.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Did you look good in black and white.

 

[Adam G]

Not when it had Wanted dead or alive around it.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Anyway, your avatar annoy's me. You should be much further over onto the kerb.

 

[Adam G]

I was a Bedford virgin then, I'll get a better one next month for you, you going to hold my hand?
I was on the green stuff at Oulton, 20p - 50p moment.
