I filled the car with Optimax before going to Avon Park to do some drag racing. What a surprise..no difference.

Well it wouldn't .... it's an Allegro!

KIDDING!

I don't use the stuff to go faster... just to stop the bugger running like a tractor!

Haven't seen your TVR these past two days. have you changed your route? First two days I use the Zed and no sign of you.

I used BP Ultimate a few weeks ago and thought that did make a difference but it was slashing down at Avon park and I never got the chance to do a dry run. The Optimax really made no difference at all to the point where I wondered if they'd run the ordinary unleaded to the Optimax pump to make a fat profit at my expense. That was from Pentwyn too.

I was just thinking the same thing about you.

I leave the centre about 7.15-7.20. Some days I go over Caerphilly mountain, sometimes up the A470- depends where I'm working. Oh yes.. and I'm sh7t in the mornings so if I forget to wave It's nothing personal.. It's just I'm still asleep!

The other half gets later every morning. we started out leaving for work by 7, then 7.10, then 7.20. We always go over the mountain. I thought about it because it's hard to wave to the other side of the road from a lhd car but I had the roof off the past two days so I was ready with the flailing arm.

Over the mountain... that's Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. I'll keep looking.

p.s. If she won't get out of bed threaten to burn her shoes. Good luck!

No. I work in Cardiff but the car is parked in a company car park. When it rains, we use the Astra. He he.
