I commute 50 miles a day in mine also, computer tells me I average 27mpg over mostly motorway driving, with some town and B roads also - it also gets used at weekends and sees some spirited driving. I'll see 300 miles to a tank on a good week and that's from full until empty. It costs me approximately £65 to fill up with 99 at tesco. thats still got at least a quarter of a tank in... 27mpg will easily do 400 miles, its an 80 litre tank! So I was led to believe, but absolutely no chance! It's a UK model too. are you going by what the fuel gauge and distance to empty says? mine is chronically unreliable, starts screaming bloody murder at me to put some petrol in when its still got 20 litres in the tank. Trust me, £65 is only what, 51 litres? you've still got 29 litres in the tank my friend. Very true, I think the most I ever squeezed in my tank was 72ltrs and the DTE had been flashing --- for many miles!!

Yes, with tapatalk "technology". It's a poor man's ceefax How is linking all your forums together in a stream ceefax related Fair enough if you don't like it but you can't say it is rubbish because it isn't, it works very well apart from a couple of hiccups when updates were released, but I am a beta tester now so only myself to blame I can't say I've had an issue with Taptalk yet (maybe once in a blue moon where it wont update) but for functionality it works fine. I only have this forum on it. Granted web browser is easier to navigate around with a mouse, but Taptalk works just fine. Yeah on iPhone & iPad tapatalk is superb, so easy to upload pictures no need for photo bucket or any of that just grab it straight from your library

Not much that can't be fixed with fire or a hammer or s combination of both, just man up and get it sorted

Nope. The fact that I don't believe in the existence of god doesn't mean it's wrong to take holidays to which everyone is entitled to, not just people of certain religions. Similarly, I can't imagine going to work tomorrow and telling my Muslim team member that she has to work over Christmas and that she can't come to the office party I've heard people in the past having a jab at atheists for having time off at Christmas and joining in the festivities, but it's an incredibly simplistic and naive argument. Every single person in the world could be accused of hypocrisy in many different ways e.g. care about the environment? - Don't have kids or drive a nice car then; feel bad for the poor in Africa - give away all your money and possessions to help them then.....etc ad infinitum. When I take time off at Christmas, eat nice food, drink too much and spend time with people I care about I'm not celebrating the birth of Jesus, I'm just choosing to have a good time that coincides with a lot of other people doing the same thing, some of whom are religious and some of whom aren't. What I certainly wouldn't do is slag off people who were choosing to celebrate the religious aspects of it - my problem is with religion in general, not people of faith. I asked the question that's all, I personally despise the commercialism of Christmas, it is about as far away from a religious celebration as you can get I treat people as people not on colour, race, religion or anything else, there are bigots of all types around, doesn't matter if you believe in an afterlife, life is too short for hatred I know you did mate - I didn't think you were making a point. Yeah it wasn't as much a reply to you fella as making myself clear, I just stoking the fire as you know How many non religious types get married in Church? How hypocritical is that? I don't believe in Christ or Jesus etc but I will have a nice big white wedding in a Church with hymns about being a good Christian

Millions of people work on Bank Holidays, personally I prefer my time off when everyone else is working, that way I can shop or go where I want without the masses...

Unless you are fitting racing slick tyres to your car then no need to inform of 'performance' tyres, same with discs and pads as long as they are designed for road use. Aerial & badges I think we can take as not necessary it is basically anything that adds value or performance, I am sure the insurers like Tim can help if anyone is not sure

My son has lend me Battlefront which I have to say is so much better than CoD

Just to raise some 'argument' when Mary worked at the prison she had to do all sorts of extra work to accommodate prisoners different beliefs and customs etc which was fair enough, but when she asked to be allowed to go to midnight mass when working Xmas eve she was told no chance... When my daughter was due to go to secondary school we applied for the local RC school very close by. So in catchment area, daughter baptised, confirmed and a very regular church goer with her mother & grandparents. She didn't get in, so I went for a meeting with the local priest & nuns, they told me it was because I wasn't a regular church goer!!! I went biblical at them (sic) what did it matter what my religion was they were teaching my daughter not me! All the other parents had gone to church together for a few weeks so the priest got to know them, but I wasn't a hypocrite, they did let her in eventually after a fight

Ah the old 'I did this for years and never got pulled' argument so then it can't be illegal can it All I know is that if I was involved in an accident with a modified car I would be taking pictures of everything and anything

Nothing wrong with tapatalk, you guys obviously have issues with technology...

I do love the way everyone tries to show what a great driver they are by posting the lowest mpg or miles per tank You would have to drive like a complete ***** not to achieve mid 20's with mixed driving...

The suspension setup hasn't changed since 2012

Classic. Idea ~ Now start interviewing for topless bar maids via Skype. Or get a flight to LA and interview them properly in the flesh

Technically my Zed was my missus car, but she never drove it and adopted my car as her daily Nothing wrong with a RR though although in Surrey they are everywhere

I think there is a limit to how practical/affordable a commute in a Zed is worth considering, 20/30 mile round trip can be justified but 50/60 a day and even man maths struggles...

When I did my Religious Education exams (compulsory) I just made origami animals for an hour... Religion means zero to me, I don't believe in an afterlife but when I married a strict Roman Catholic I had my 2 children baptised and confirmed because that was the beliefs of their Mother's family. They also both went to RC schools and seem to have turned out ok so far, although neither are in any way religious now either. Do any of the Atheists on here refuse to take their religious bank holidays off at Easter & Christmas?

Is your surname Hefner

Think she's beyond help unfortunately. She does have to live with you so fair comment

Fixed that

Thanks for visiting though did you find the key in the cake..............or did you not remember that i'd put it there I did forget but taking a sieve to the loo for a couple of days and bingo also managed to make some nice art on the toilet walls

I think the thing here Neil is your Dad has put like for like replacements on his Volvo, not genuine OEM but similar spec. If he fits a mahoosive bore exhaust etc then maybe different. At the end of the day always best to check with the insurer and make sure you are covered. I replaced OEM Jaguar wheels with different OEM Jaguar wheels but still declared them as they were not factory fitted. If I had a Zed with standard alloys and fitted Rays I would do the same

Like the new Zed signature picture Graham. @grundy ~ If you start paying guys to drag women off into vans no matter what the plan I'm pretty sure you'll be getting arrested & locked up yourself. Hey beggars can't be choosers...
