RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 16, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 16, 2016 I know this is very very wrong on so many levels...but I did find the story amusing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-35587331 You see some old bangers that emit that much smoke without any malice aforethought!

Guest Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Police were able to catch him by following the trail of smoke. Something of a design flaw there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Dread Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This fellow must have owned an Ariel Arrow in his younger days!. To the uninitiated, a 250cc two stroke motorcycle of the 60's, an example of which I owned. It had a well earned reputation of it's exhausts smoking very badly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually find the easiest way to avoid being stopped by the plod, is to drive up the A47 or A15. You won't see one from one day to the next...

pointstaken Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Can see the funny part, but driving without insurance ? Not so funny if had had or caused an accident where someone else was injured or killed.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted February 16, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2016 Quite a rare vehicle these days, the GTi version was excellent. We had some on BR, 1.4 petrols one lad filled one with diesel as the tappets were so noisy he thought it was one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a well earned reputation of it's exhausts smoking very badly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Leader Likewise JD. I had an Ariel Arrow on loan, back in the '60s, while my R. Enfield was being straightened. The word at work soon got around, with the result that during several lunch breaks a certain workmate / colleague would often nag me. by asking to borrow said m/c. Where-upon, he took great delight on riding belting it back and forward / up and down the factories' service road outside. When I say 'great delight', for him, to me, it looked like 'suicide by blind pleasure'. Not only did the rider wear NHS 'specs (John Lennon type) with one lens blanked / obscured by tape, but, persisted in looking behind, admiring the twin trails of two-stroke smoke, ala Red Arrows. There are, always, memories that stay with you. Regards, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted February 16, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hah! call that smoke....just ask any East Beds member and they'll tell you that's nothing compared to my truck when it's cold. I've often wondered if I should change the Nissan badge for a Rothmans one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I dropped a replacement engine into my Marina many years ago (out of urgent need I hadn't checked it out first though). It used a bit of oil though; When I changed down to 3rd from top at a roundabout, I completely lost sight of my mate's car immediately behind!

It used a bit of oil though; When I changed down to 3rd from top at a roundabout, I completely lost sight of my mate's car immediately behind! Stewart Mine does that if I go over 70mph. It'll do 65 all day, wind it up that extra 5-10mph and the everything behind goes blue (and the engine bay gets rustproofed). Chuck a bit more oil in and carry on a bit slower, no worries. I have actually retired it now, engine coming out on Sunday all being well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Deltic Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've seen a few older busses chucking out a fair bit of smoke. My VW Passatt smokes occasionally when I drop it down a cog or two to overtake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
