Because the LPG system is dead. Only temporary, I hope. I can’t afford to fuel this thing. Anyways, the picture is me, laughing at me, because I bought this money pit.What did you regret recently, Oppo?

I regret nothing...though opening that last wine bottle might not have been a great idea...

Got a plan that doesn’t involve random outbreaks of  cold sweat and financial panic?

Is premium unleaded in Australia the same as regular unleaded here in the US?  Seems odd for an econobox.

I’m not sure how to feel about that....

I'm not convinced those photos reflect that car's current condition for starters!!

95RON iirc

Well if I’m reading this right, it would be considered premium unleaded here:

Sorry to hear that Pip. That car seems to have stock images for all but two of the photos and you don't do that if the car is in good shape. Not sure about that one.

95 octane RON =  91 octane in the US. This is the regular gas in Europe. You can’t realistically get anything lower grade here. I’m not sure about China, but if China has similar gas then it makes sense that a typical Chinese car is designed for this type of gasoline.

Sooo our premium is actually regular???

duurtlang > boredalways 07/16/2020 at 08:28

US premium gasoline is t he default in Europe, yes.

I do believe we used to have lower grade gasoline, like your 87, but that has n ot been widely available  in the time I’ve been driving. And I’m 37 years old.

The most recent regret is saying “ok” to a mystery sized wood chip drop from our township....It was 20 cubic yards. I have already moved 30 cubic yards of soil, mulch, and wood chips since the beginning of quarantine. Were doing this via hand cart and wheel barrow point B is more than a football field away from point A. I’m away on vacation this week but I’m still thinking about the 8-10 cubic yards that are still sitting out front of my house.

Holy moly, that’s a lotta work. But hey, it can wait. Btw I had to goodle that size because European, and this is what I got back.

Thanks, Google.
Images cleared up the confusion, though.

A bad idea does not necessarily mean regret! I might open one tonight.

As I was typing I was like “how can I put this in perspective for this guy?” guessing by your name that you’d be like “WTF is a cubic yard?”...Thanks internet!

I saw a meme that said “in every relationship there is one person who really wants a garden and one person who ends up doing 90% of the work. My wife is the gardener...I’m not complaining though, she loves it and I get to eat fresh things.

I’d be happy to do work someone else requested where plants are involved. Every time I choose the work myself the plants end up dead.

Tripper > smobgirl 07/16/2020 at 10:01

Yeah, I’m bad with plants too. I’m pretty good with them in a terrarium environment (I have pet tree frogs) but there is far less work involved there than with a traditional garden. We have two beds 16x4 and one 8x4 as well as chickens and a duck. My wife does almost two hours of work every morning to keep it all going.

Ha, I thought that was Patrick George from the thumbnail. Thanks, image compression.

I think it’s time to yeet my computer into the ocean and blog about Puffalumps.

How many kms did it make it?

pip bip - choose Corrour > Longtime Lurker 07/16/2020 at 22:28

First engine did 513k km

Then fitted a used engine with around 100k km on the clock and the Speedo is at about 728k km now

So 2nd motor has done around 315k km

I regret attempting to refresh the rear suspension on my 850. It has not been fun.  I will post about it later.

I had a lot of trouble with the front of my V70. A lot of pulling, hammering, and cursing. I look forward to reading about it.

I remember getting blasted once on the internet when I mentioned that we run our cars on LPG down here. I didn’t know quite what Americans called it since our “petrol” is their “gas”, but they were adamant you cannot run a car on BBQ gas.

Haha
