Sunday question

[scoobyslippers]

This may be a well known stat but I heard it today so thought I would share. I believe the Xj is pretty much all from recycled Aluminium - if that came from just drink cans how many cans would it come comprise of? No googling please ;)

[Old Peter]

A very wild guess  ---  4800.

[knightsmith]

Scott,

 

Three.

Higher than both. Hope one I get has more than 3 cans worth of metal in it Trevor ;)

[knightsmith]

Scott,

 

They were big cans !

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

[scoobyslippers]

Clearly!

[knightsmith]

Scott,

 

And there was a bit left over.

Beautiful looking motor that Trevor. The xf I have on loan at mo is that colour and mighty fine it looks too. My xj v8 na is caviar which looks great with the white leather imo.

[knightsmith]

Scott,

 

It was a directors car which they gave me in exchange for my Aston which they mangled. It had every extra you could dream of, including three TV's, a Bowers and Wilkins 1200 watt 20 speaker stereo system, it went like s**t off a shovel, and Kylie Minogue came round twice a week to wash it .

 

The wife hated it (although it was her going on about four door /four seater cars ), she said after the Aston it must have been like going out with Miss World and coming home with Susan Boyle .

 

It was too big for the roads around here, but it was a brilliant car in every way, I cannot imagine there being a better big saloon.

 

Short Top Gear film about it .

Mine has the b&w stereo on which frank sinatra and Louis Armstrong will sound mighty fine! Kylie must have been perfect to get those hard to reach low bits. I'm approaching 50 and I would value her for that over anything else!

[knightsmith]

Scott,

 

A little poser for you . Your XJ will have an electric boot, the battery is in the boot, if the battery is flat, how do you get it out of the boot to charge it up ?

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

scott i say 55,000 cans about a years worth of belhaven best. cans from me charlie

[scoobyslippers]

The can conundrum answer was 12000 cans.

As for the boot teaser - from back seat?

[jag2]

och is that all, thats only a months supply. do you want me to keep them for you. charlie

[jag2]

Removing dup post - fat finger syndrome

[scoobyslippers]

Need them for windscreen Charlie!

[jag2]

haha scott will keep some for you but the rest go to trevors soup kitchen in devon charlie

[knightsmith]

Charlie,

 

I would have a soup kitchen, but just serve vegetable soup to confuse the northerners down here .

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

[knightsmith]

Scott,

 

No it's not the back seat to open the boot. ask the salesman when you pick the car up, bet he doesn't know .

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

[jag2]

[knightsmith]

ATB,

 

Trevor

 

P.S. You can't upset me. i'm too ignorant !

[jag2]

trevor how did the service go. charlie

[knightsmith]

Charlie,

 

Has been postponed until a week tomorrow as the garage owner has pulled a muscle in his back.

 

Story of my life, nothing is straight forward !

 

 

Builders are also delayed. Getting anything done down here is like finding the Holy Grail .

 

Sometimes I yearn for civilisation .

 

Will keep you informed

Or buy one of those little quick start batteries that you plug into the power source.
