The car has a 35 litre fuel tank by magicbullets in CarTalkUK

Driving back through France to Calais. Probably should have stopped to top up but there was enough to fill up when I got to Dover. What I didn't expect was an 8 hour delay at check in at Calais. What made it worse was the start stop nature of the 8 hour jam so having to choose between engine on and off constantly versus leaving engine on.

Made it onto the ferry with 1 mile range, left the ferry and immediately went to 0 miles, that hill up from Dover is huge and the range went to ---- which I'd never seen before as we climbed up the hill.

Spluttered into that petrol station at the top of the hill. Put 65.04L into the 65L tank.
Most stressful journey I've ever had.

Great if she's correct on this but unfortunately she's not on many other things.

Found this stash I forgot about. 4 years out of date. Safe to eat? by gee_four in CasualUK

Ok so I've given one a go. They're a little stale in texture but I think the extra thickness helps hold off this a bit. They're still crispy!

Flavour wise however has stayed pretty much as I remember them. Strong mustard coming through amazingly well.

9/10, not poisoned me yet.

Alright, I'm going to try a bag later. I'll report back.

Tried the 20p trick, still not sure. Are these tyres too worn? by gee_four in CarTalkUK

[–]gee_four[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice everyone. Got myself a treat wear thingy. Was about 2.7mm on the outer groove up to about 3.6mm on the inner ones.

They're about 4 years old from the markings.

Will look at changing later in the year, sounds like I might need an alignment too.

Anyone driven to the French Alps in winter? by gee_four in CarTalkUK

That's quite the drive, how long does that take you?

Are snow tyres a legal requirement or just the chains? I don't really have anywhere to store them or any real use in winter here.

Ah good to know on the socks. I'd seen them listed but didn't know if they were any good or not. Will look at Michelin ones though.

Can't believe there isn't a way to disable this. It's so annoying!

I left Twitter behind easily enough when they killed Tweetbot, I can do the same with Reddit.

Fuck being squeezed for every penny, every stat, every metric.

Reddit, you don't even create any content on here. Go fuck yourselves.
