RE: OT: V8 carltons and cars



I remember reading your website with great interest in your project!! And then browsing around the autobahn stormers website and drooling over lotus carltons and lotus omega’s …  *back in the day*

 

Hmmm.. a v8 omega, which would one would you use for the base of the project ?? a 3.0 or so ? with all the ‘posh-pack’ (leather etc) cant beat the sound of a properly tuned v8, especially if you’ve heard one with a blower on it … *grins widely*

I would buy more HA gadgets if mine was only 22 quid. I am going to be doing some checking to see what is drawing the higher power.

Yes I am the one with the V8 Carlton. Why do you ask?

I am actually looking to do it all over again next year with an Omega but this time make it a road car instead of a race car.

My 'leccy bill is a whopping £22 per month.

 

On an OT note, are you the guy who took the engine out of a 1.8 carlton and put in a great big v8 and sorted the car to look similar to a holden ? or a car from Aus used in track racing? .. just wondered.

Blimey, I wish mine was as low as that. Last bill was 292 GBP and I only
have 2 PC's running 24/7 and only 1 has a monitor that is off all the time
except for maybe 1-2 hours a night.

I blame the tumble drier and the kettle (SWMBO has a habit of filling the
bloody thing nearly full just to make 1 cup of tea which I keep nagging HER
about)

PC's are not that expensive to run 24/7 if you use them each day because
powering them up and down is not good for reliability in my opinion. This
was the reason we used to keep the ROV (submersible) switched on 24/7
offshore as the old way was to power it down when not working but this
caused so many problems itself.
