Hi boltondiver

 

Brendan here from PetrolPrices.com. I'm writing to you to let you know that in just two weeks fuel duty is going up again. It's hardly been mentioned in the mainstream press so I've written a blog to explain what's happening and how it will affect you.

 

http://www.petrolprices.com/blog/duty-rise...-weeks-110.html

 

More than 10,000 people aired their views on blog I wrote in December about fuel duty going up and we managed to get some great press coverage of the issue. Let's try and make even more noise this time ? leave me a comment and I'll make sure the press know how you feel.

 

Kind regards,

 

Brendan

Can you post some to me?

Get yer name on the list for one of these then.

 

This will be released in Shanghai in 2010. Will cruise at 100-120kmh; use 0.99 litres of petrol every 100kms (258 miles per gallon!); fuel tank capacity only 1.7 gallons; range 404 miles (673 kms!).

Will sell, initially, for 4000 yuan (around $600 US).

Only downside is that it's a single seater.

 

The reg plate describes it well.

Or 29 to 30p per litre. And they think thats expensive!!

I'm absolutely delighted that I've never bothered to learn to drive. Its a mugs game

Speaking of petrol did you know that at 38,000 feet an aeroplane can do 160 miles to the gallon.

And that during a trans-atlantic crossing a jumbo will use as much fuel as your average car would over a 20 year period.

Is that one of your Lambrettas Bolty?

Far too butch for a Lambretta that.

 

Looks like a large mobile tampon

Is that one of your Lambrettas Bolty?

 

In Quadrophenia, Spider got a right tw@tting at a road junction.

 

Now then, these are Lambrettas, in case your memory fails you. You will note that they have extremely feminine curves and are designed to be ridden by a man. Squidgy, apparently, prefers to ride things butch.

 

 

One will have to do better than that Trafski. A chavs owd Vespa and two modern twist n gos?

 

Goes to relevance m'lud :p

Sorry Sir!

Won't happen again, honest.

 

Will a 1957 Prima do you?

 

Or:

 

Now yer getting there mate - at least the last one was a Lambretta.

Bolty, is it safe to assume that these fine modes of transport aren't exactly brilliant when it comes to reliability? I remember my older brother having two Vespa's when I were younger and he spent more time covered in oil and fucking about fixing them than actually riding the bloody things. Having said that, he could have paid 50 quid each for them for all I know!

Very surprised to hear that. If you'd said Lambrettas, I wouldn't have been! Vespas renowned for their reliability. Maybe your brother bought some shagged out sh1theaps?

 

The PX200E, production of which only recently stopped, is fecking bombproof. Never known a scooter like it and I've had many of them (all Lambrettas except two). Would recommend a PX200E to anyone. Scooterboys workhorse.

Is the bloke who owns that paranoid?

He's a red munchen from the Manchester Lyons SC - the one Mani belongs to. If you can get over the red bit, he's actually a top lad.

 

That scooter, besides being the sexiest ever SX200 model, gets all of the attention. Every time we meet up outside the Lucky Shag (near the ferry terminal) flocks of miniature nips arrive with cameras and they all want to be photographed sat on that one. Modded up ones have never really floated my boat. As standard with a subtle tweak towards street racer style does it for me.

he just doesn't want people sneaking up on him.
