was driving on the highway and i was behind a smoking crapodore sv6 so much blue smoke belching out of the exhaust system the power from my 380 made the overtaking so easy > was driving on the highway and i was behind a smoking crapodore sv6 so > much blue smoke belching out of the exhaust system > > the power from my 380 made the overtaking so easy Yeah, sorry about that, it was me. I was almost completely out of fuel and I accidentally filled it with diesel. It was a bit sluggish, but went better than I thought it would. I was raced off the lights by a guy on a ride-on lawnmower, who won easily. Oh, you were the guy in the 380 that overtook me then? It's a shame you didn't catch the guy on the ride-on mower though, as he was plenty quick. Maybe next time you are getting the 380 fixed you can ask them to see if they can get a Briggs and Straton replacement engine?

My son and one of his mates have been repairing their bosses ride on mower and they sometimes use it to go down to the corner shop, I hear it easily drags off 380's:-) At the moment its faster than the R1 in the garage, but then again the R1 won't start:-) Daryl > was driving on the highway and i was behind a smoking crapodore sv6 so > much blue smoke belching out of the exhaust system > > the power from my 380 made the overtaking so easy Amazing how dozens of Holdens belch smoke, break down, and self destruct in front of you and nobody else.

Jokes aside, oilburning engines seem to be drastically reduced these days. They can be blow-bying like all hell and eventually blow a piston, but loss of oil-control is not a common sight,..unless its accompanied by some expensive noise.

Catalytic convertors hide the blue smoke to a large degree on engines that are using oil. | Catalytic convertors hide the blue smoke to a large degree on engines that | are using oil. Does this eventually destroy the catalytic converter ? What happens ? > Catalytic convertors hide the blue smoke to a large degree on engines that > are using oil. The neighbour's Alfa 156 either mustn't have one, or it's clogged to the max and blown it's guts out. He left for work yesterday afternoon and left a trail of blue haze right down the street. *Real* nice work on a 6 month old car :) -- Regards, Noddy. >> Catalytic convertors hide the blue smoke to a large degree on engines that >> are using oil.

You really think they've got time to answer phones, with greenpeace on their back about the oil spills everywhere. If you asked a _lot_ of alfa owners, they'd probably say the same. Emperors new clothes would have made more sense if they re-wrote it to emperors new jag, or alfa etc etc. Hell one alfa even got a hell of a bagging when tested by autospeed. If those blokes (and I'll concede a couple of them were decent, but the rest"?) can find heaps wrong with a demo car, I'd shudder to think how many more actually existed.
