The Foo’s, a band I’ve yet to see live! The BHP available sounds like a lot of fun. How naughty were you on the autobahn? 🤣

It’s only metal, it cannot win!

Today represents a milestone which we never thought we would see back in Nov 2016. It is 5 years to the day since I was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 lung cancer and 3 years, almost to the day

I was in a Bentley Arnage, 6.75ltr twin turbo, at 170mph going to LeMans. As a passenger, I could physically see the analogue fuel dial moving down, down and down. Iirc I think at that speed we got to around 43 minutes of driving before we had to refill the tank! It was a sobering sight.

Have to ask @Bibs, what's the sensation in an EV, at that speed, when looking at the battery level digital indicator? Is it as sobering a sight?

Nope, didn't really even look and here's why... Without wanting to sound like I've drunk the koolaid, we stopped to charge at 30% and it was full in 20 mins. Literally a walk over the road, grab a coffee and walk back and it was done. Astonishing really and makes EV's much, much more palatable. That would have been a very boring 2 hours in my old Kia! When it charges that quick, range anxiety really isn't a thing any more.

I wasn't having a pop re range anxiety @Bibs, hence me mentioning the shocking ICE experience first. But then the fill up of the Bentley took less than 5 minutes, if you really want to squeeze testicles. I think some Kool-Aid was consumed by the response as the lady doth protest...........  (not that I'm calling you a lady)

I was more interested in the feeling associated, at that speed, with energy being consumed at a vast rate (so not an EV v ICE thing).

On the way back from Frankfurt in the Evora S many years ago we had similar with a tank lasting 45 mins at 130-150/60 all the time! Was an expensive trip home!!

So flat out driving, for around 45 minutes, you consume 55-60ltrs in the Evora, 95-100ltrs in the Bentley. Sounds about right. Adding lightness almost halves the fuel bill ;)

In Glasgow to see Travis support The Killers. No matter how many times I see The Killers live, it's never boring, and always, makes me happy!

Evora sailed through its MOT today without so much as even 1 'advisory' - not bad for a 2010 old girl with 100k miles coming up any day now, and that until a couple of weeks ago sat unused in the corner of a body repair shop for 3 months, :thumbsup: .

Now equipped with an engine hoist courtesy of one of the local Club's lads and thoroughly enjoying getting on with engine work, after endless months of drudgery on electricals. I'd wondered whether there would be any joy in the Esprit restoration tasks still to be done after enduring the wiring campaign. Much better being able to potter along expecting clear progress with every trip to the workshop.

Relaxing out on our deck with a beer, glad to be off my feet and taking in the fresh evening air while scanning the sky in fading light had a bit of an epiphany. Missus was showing off her painted toenails, leading me to reflect on the vestigial nature of those. All well and good to admire the ladies' charms but for me they're just a place to harbour fungus or blacken up when stubbed badly. Contrary to all the blather about perils of genetic engineering what say we have the things eliminated once and for all? Work of a fertile brain, I must say. 😁

Was in Bridgnorth today. £1.95 for a pint of beer. Very nice it was too. Nice and cold on a hot day. That made me happy!

Wholly mother of God!  A night at the pub definitely lightens the wallet.  You might miss a mortgage payment as a result.

Doing 60 in a 50 zone (straight road, good visibility, no traffic/cyclists/pedestrians, ...), I made one of those obnoxious reprimanding signs flash at me. Just when my Priest CD was at 'Breaking the law', properly loud of course. 🖕

Yes I'm petty sometimes, I admit. Just in a good mood and enjoying the little things. 🙂

I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them.
