Did you fit another tank in the spare wheel well and forgot about it Kiss

After all the currys, maybe CG and LD have farted in it....

Just because you were having "confidence" issues Grin

Sunday morning, that was a bit or an ordeal.... Embarrassed

I can only laugh because it wasn't my ordeal Tongue

It runs fine on LPG. Very well.

The problem is, it uses LPG even when its turned off Roll Eyes

But obviously not much if it's still not empty Roll Eyes

No smoking around the Elite then, actually no, lets all spark one up! Cool

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

The argument of course could be that the 4pot has no power to create lag Roll Eyes

When i get my Monaro/VXR8 we will see who will have 3/4 of an engine Tongue

I wouldn't refer to any omega manual box as proper... But of course it does as you control the injector timings with your right foot, and it's much slower to change than an auto, which cuts injector times to limit the torque on change Wink
