Hi Martin
Didn't they teach geography at your school
Plymouth is in Devon
Car now safely back home in South Wales
Hilarious!but I guess Martin's comment could be unrelated to the car which was located in Plymouth

Haha I can't believe I did that! I transfered to Portsmouth in Hampshire about 10 years ago and everyone said I had gone to Plymouth.... so I think that is where I got that from but in reverse!!
Though in my defense I did History at school and it was the History of Medicine with usefull things like Amputating a leg in under 2 minutes!! though that particular way could also mean the loss of some other body parts if you are a man...... Ok maybe not that usefull

Hi Martin
Don't mind me and my SOH
Can you tell me what petrol you use and what is recommended. I filled up with standard 91 on the way home, then reading the S/C advice sheet (American) it says "premium, minimum 91"
So I just wondered
Dave
Hi Dave,
Haha I don't mind! got to be able to take it if you give it
The dreadnought conversion was specifically designed to run on our standard 91. American Petrol is higher than ours as I think as their standard is our super?
But anyways standard and don't think I have noticed a difference using super.... well not that it feels faster etc... never really checked for fuel econmy...
Just treat it as a normal 260, except maybe check the levels of the SC oil and Coolant every couple of weeks, oil is a nightmare as its virtually clear.... The coolant is just your normal stuff.
Best way to check the SC oil level is to use a white kitchen towell (the paper ones) and put the dip stick against that to see where it marks
Hope that helps and feel free to ask any other questions.
Martin.

That is one very nice car, Dave - beautiful sound too. Good to see you yesterday.

I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.
Shush Tony I'm after his x
On a serious note can't wait to see her David and if Tony likes her she must be nice! It has gone to a very good home
