Can you predict next week's lottery numbers too, oh mystic Flyer?

S.

Lottery numbers, as you have probably already surmised, are a special case. The government made a special case to the CBI (Crystal Ball Inspectorate) that Lottery numbers should be exempt from FCUK (Forward Concession Universal Knowledge) and in a ground-breaking, history-making judgement, the CBI acceded to the government's urgings and granted a special dispensation to the government. FCUK-II as the amendment is known within the corridors of Whitehall, prohibits the possessor of a Crystal Ball from peering into the future and observing the lottery numbers.

So, much as I'd like to, sorry but I cannot oblige.

;) :D

<tip>Chelsea</tip> :cool:
 
Lotusmark,dont worry too much about the rest of the spec,the most important thing is you got the colour right:bannana:
 
Hi Mark, welcome to the forum.

Don't know if you have the same engine as me but I get about 24-25 in normal use and 27-28 on a long motorway run

Cheers

The '98 240 is a 2.4 L V6 whereas yours will be the 2.6 L unit, power is the same at 170 bhp but I believe the 2.6 has slightly more torque over the 2.4.

Thanks Steve. Knew mine was a 2.6 but remembered reading an earlier post saying that the 240 engine had changed. Wonder why they didn't call it a 260? Mind you there seems to be a game between Merc and BMW with neither of them using the actual size of engine.

Cheers
Andy

Given the other thread in the general section my bet is the evolution alloy pedals ;) A dealer give away at a mere £20 approx for all 3 pedals.

....and don't forget the chrome gearshift surround, for a mere fiver ;)
 
yeah I think the pedals will be next,
that said long term perhapse sports springs and a supercharger:D
Hmmm thats going to take some convincing to the wife;)
 
But back to earth I dont think I will be doing much more than the foot pedals and perhapse an upgrade to the speakers (subtle not a BOOM BOOM car)
