# Ah - that's super!
Quick non-b3ta related TJ:
When filling your car up with oil; how do you know when to stop pouring?
I have a paranoia about filling up over the 'Max' bit. Sorry for the odd questioning.

# Do Not Fill A Vehicle Up With Oil
Unless it is an oil tanker

It will be messy

# Pour a bit
leave it to settle for a couple of minutes. Then check your dipstick (fnar fnar). Repeat to fade

# This is what my Dad said, so I shall do this.
However, he gave instruction as: 'Take dipstick out'. 'Take top off'.
This won't appear highly amusing to you, as your parents didn't call your ex-significant other 'dipstick'.

# Siriusly
DOn't forget to replace oil filler cap & CHECK otherwise you will Red Arrows on the motoerway when oils splurts over the hot exhaust manifold.

And necessitate steam clean engine (£50)

# Have you got an old mini?
(I helped save b3ta! wefbhweiufhweiu party, Fri 17 Mar 2006, 11:13, archived)
# Yeah - I'm only joking though.
She regularly does 70, which is fast enough.

# I would love another one
My first car was an mini. It was the tits. Dunno what speed it did though, the speedo didn't work.

# Hahaha - fantastic!
I've done 80 before, but it's not healthy.
There's one for sale 'round here for £595. Red.
Might take a look at some point, but at that price. Hrmm. Something wrong.
Plus, my current Mini is an Internet-star, so I can't ditch her! :P

# They're ridiculously over priced
and I don't really like the new ones. They're just not the same

/edit an internet star?
(I helped save b3ta! wefbhweiufhweiu party, Fri 17 Mar 2006, 11:26, archived)
# Yeah, my current one wasn't cheap.
I learnt to drive in a new one. Not bad, but yeah, not the same.
Edit: Yes. Regularly featured on Flickr, like here and also, in the eBay ad here.
