  I'm so Sorry         


Author: Gordon Lightfoot III

I'm so sorry for all the hurt I have caused in these groups by my
thoughtless and selfish impersonations.
I ask for your collective forgiveness and I promise I will never do it
again. I have some issues that I feel I must explain.

I was an only child, My mother was in reality my Aunt and my Father was my
mothers son, himself the result of a father taking a special interest in the
sex education of his daughter.
I was born an hermaphrodite...

I've know for almost 18 years now they tax fuel. Use home
heating oil in your diesel - and get caught.... Different
colour additives though. That is how they tell.

  Just walked back to the truck to get something ...

and there was a HUGE puddle of water under the A/C drain.

Yay R290!

I'm now just wishing it was winter and I didn't need to drain 5 litres
of water daily from my home portable A/C if I leave it on for more
than 12 hours.

I'm done with summer. Bring on winter. I've got my suntan, and
everything else from summer. I need winter, and most importantly
NO HUMIDITY - it is starting to piss me off.

  Since 98RON fuel seems to be scarce/non-existant...

... well, it is in the Illawarra now. No BP Ultimate, let alone V-Power.

I'm well tired of the patchy availability, had to put a few dollars of
95RON shit into the tank in order to get home the other day.

The only way around this IMO is to buy 91RON shit and add some form of
octane booster? Consensus seems to be that the 'octane boosters' you see
are worthless, so I am considering using Toluene, possibly at around 1
part Toluene to 3 parts 91RON.
Anyway, my research is /very/ preliminary at this stage.

Anyone out there mixing their own fuel - if so, what, and how much are
you paying... and where do you buy it from?

"Motorists in the United States smarting from rising gasoline prices, take
note: Mr. Taurisano pays the equivalent of $1.50 to fill his Hummer's tank.
Thanks to a decades-old subsidy that has proven devilishly complex to undo,
gasoline in Venezuela costs about 7 cents a gallon compared with an average
$2.86 a gallon in the United States."

7 cents per gallon = US 1.85 cents per litre.

BUT! "Economists estimate that it costs the government of President Hugo

Yes, it is fun moving...

I've been packing up for a week now and I'll still be packing more boxes
for another two weeks I suspect. FARK...

Indeed. They're screaming about paying half the price we are paying
(imperial vs US galls taken into account). It;s an interesting exercise. Did
our Gov (Hawkey from memory) put an ever increasing levy to maintain "world
parity" code for ripp-off, or to get an ever increasing bounty?

  VS Commodore high operating temperature         


Author:
Date: Mar 25, 2008 15:49

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help with a problem with my '96 VS
Commodore. During highway operation it runs quite cool, about 1/4 on the
gauge, but in town driving it is about 3/4. It holds a constant temperature
both on the highway and in town. It recently has had a radiator flush, new
radiator cap and new heater hoses and radiator hoses. Is the temperature okay
for the in town work?
