Man after my own heart I had been looking for a house with propper garage and a decent driver and garden for years but it came with a big house into the deal but it means we have a 80' long drive which is about two cars wide and a quadruple garage (2x double garage) it was all in quite a bad way but now I have re roofed the garage I have a dry area to keep and work on my toys lol1130cc wrote:After 25 years, you probably have a bit more insulation on yourself
Next house i buy will have a triple garage/workshop.
Not really too interested in the house part of it

My V8 jeep has run on LPG for last 150k miles with no problems. People talk of burned out valves - but never had the problem

Re: Trikesformation
i also had a v8 Range Rover that I tuned up to only run on LPG it would not run on petrol as I modified the distributor advance and springs to be optimum on gas it would have caused serious damage if it was run on petrol I removed the flapper box air meter and had a 3" variable Venturi for the gas it was a lot more powerfull than on petrol but you did need to know where all the gas stations were!Ghoulie wrote:My V8 jeep has run on LPG for last 150k miles with no problems.

An account with countrywide farmers for LPG key was invaluable as was a GPS with waypoints of all the LPG stations
