Milestones
It’s been a while since I updated some of this stuff, but a few things have happened. Firstly, my car, has just reached 160,000 miles, and it’s still going strong, hasn’t missed a beat since I got brand new in 2000. A Peugeot 106 Zest 3 Diesel (1.5D), sadly they don’t make them anymore, but I can vouch for their build quality and robustness, and general fuel efficiency. Of course, I can talk, I do 24,000 approx miles a year on a motorway, what would I know about driving? While we’re on the subject, I had to change the last remaining original tyre on the car (a rear one), a Michelin one, which has stuck with me for the whole 160,000 mile journey, it’s true! I told the guy who changed it that it had done 160,000 miles, I don’t think he believed me…
fuel economy tips
Want to know how to reduce the amount of fuel you use in your car? Got tips to pass onto others? Have a look at the Fuel Price website, I initially it started when the price of fuel was rocketing towards the start of the Iraq conflict (notice the way I didn’t use the word war), I hope it will become a valuable resource for many people trying to switch to greener fuels. More details on the Fuel Price website.
Fancy printing your own posters?
Ever seen an image and said to yourself, feck, I could do with that on my wall about 8×6 size! Pity it can’t be done (at home)! Well, enter the Rastorbator! Download Rastorbator at: http://arje.net/rasterbator. As far as I can tell, this software allows you to create large images from a much smaller one, print it out onto multiple sheets, then stitch them together! I think I could it could replace wallpaper! Make your own!
