What is your Car's ''Happy Speed'' ?

Mine likes about 75. At that speed you can't hear the engine or the road. It takes only a touch of throttle to keep it like that and doesn't do too bad on fuel at that speed especially for a big engine. It's a bit under 3000 rpm so it's not working much. Speed limits permitting it will sit at 100 with no sweat. Bit less that 4k revs so right on the power band if you need it. Always feels stable and seems to like it. Uses lots of fuel though!

Been Busy, job hunting mate... job hunting, portfolio making, interview attending, in fact I have two interviews this week... I'm being let down because I have no commercial experience ! ! Grrrrrr ! ! !

I'm here now though.... who's been asking ??

Best of luck there with the Jobs matey.

Why not tell them to look on here at all the Help you give over 300 members, or ask them to ring me for a reference

Supa's been asking about you, something about a Teabag and a Milkshake?

Captain's gone off to find 'Love' but is still confused about his sexuality (and his replacement Radiator).

Been quite busy really around here, lots going on.

Thanks... I think I'm gonna need some luck... hows you anyway ?

Sounds like it.... darn I missed out on all the fun... but at least Captain is now trying to discover his true sexuality instead of just dabbling around with it... good lad I say ! !

LOL

Yeah funny thing is I never tell people about this when applying for jobs, and I should really, its all good !

Supa' wants some teabags from china I think and McDonalds do the best milkshakes ! !

My 2.0 turbo seems to be very happy at 70mph, but if lowered would probably be happier at 90mph like my last one.

My last one, after all its mods, was as happy doing 130 as 70.
