Looking at the forum through a web browser is the better way Davie... You see far more ;)

I just can't get on with CrapaTalk...

I've tried hard but no, it's not to my liking at all. A shame as the concept is basically sound, just poorly executed.

I'm just a one forum and Facebook sort of person myself Mike... No time for multiple forums...

Except the odd look at the vintage wireless forum...

The older version of tapatalk, when you've fiddled with it and worked out your preferences, is fine. They ruined it with the later version.

The trouble with any version of Tapatalk I find, is you see only a little bit of any forum. You loose the big view. A bit like looking at a forum through a small movable slit..

A bit like watching TV through your letterbox whilst crouching in the porch.

I just can't work like that.

If you really have to thats probably the best way to watch TV, keep a safe distance.

I do TT most of the time. I'm generally only on the PC after 7pm when the missus puts the soaps on. We have dinner and watch Pointless and the news then I make a swift exit!

At 7PM I'm well and truly 'off the air' and winding down in readiness for bed at around 8...

I know it's Spanish but here is a photo of the dash of the Leon
Image
That's good mpg me thinks! The reason for the cheapness of the car is now clear to you, 181k covered. However, 2 owners, first one did 60k in 3 years and it was serviced at the supplying dealer when it should have been, every 20k. It then was serviced by a local Indy every 10k without fail with a timing belt at 80k and 160k. It drives like a lot less miles. I'm on a mpg check, 160 miles now, I'll do a brim to brim check and see how accurate the 63mpg is. That's the most economical car I have ever had. Even either of the 107's managed over 60mpg regularly
