    We do down here. It's rare to find old cars in such a good condition, but you can.
    No rust. It's one of the best things about the south.
    God this movie's funny.

    This was the best quality I could find of that scene. :|

    Got a new KB and Mouse.
    Been using Cheap Wireless one for over 5 years. Had to change because my mouse wheel was acting weird (ghost scrolling, inverse scrolling, etc).
    First wired keyboard in a while, plus it has LEDS for extra swag and ingame skills.

    It's membrane, got used to it quite immediately, instead of having to struggle for 2 weeks. Has a nice feedback and keys have a quite long travel, which is a +1 totally. Was 30€.
    Also bought a second hand G25 for 50€, waiting for the dude to send it (will take 3-4 days to arrive here). I just hope he didn't send me a box with a brick inside it.

    Actual picture of the G25 he sent:

    Seems to be working and etc. It's 2 years old, and he doesn't have the original box anymore. No problem for that, as far it works. Why not G27? I found a bunch for +-100€, but the dudes didn't reply to my mails. F them :|

    My hopes for getting a Felicia when i get 18 are slowly fading away.
    The reason is Euro emission standards, and registering taxes.
    Registering a Felicia with Bosch Mono Motronic single point injection engine, which does the Euro 1 would cost me 10k czk (408 USD)
    Registering a Felicia with a skoda Multi Point injection (the least powerful, more economical engine) which does Euro 2 would cost me 3k (122 USD) and will cost 5k (204 USD) because new Euro standards comming.
    But Europe, why u do this D:
    I don't have that kinda money D:
    Fine, gonna get a Octavia with peasant VW camshafts and things.

    mpi and spi had same peak power but mpi peaking 500rpm later. Mpi had more torque and peaked earlier. Basically same power across a larger band compared to spi, polar opposite to the spi.

    Only thing to watch for is whether it has the 135 low compression head or the 136 high compression head, both injection setups came with both heads. The 135 head had less power than the 136 (55 vs 67).

    The Felicia's I went to look at I turned up with baby wipes to check for the magic 135 or 136 stamping on the left side of the engine block.

    My old one was a 781.136M (M indicating Siemens multipoint, B on Bosch single point vehicles, 781 stamping is common to all 4)

    Are you sure you aren't comparing a 136B vs a 135M?

    This is pretty useless since most who have puush use the official puush software XD

    I am pretty sure i am not, i am comparing the early and common 136B and the later and common 135M (the 136M are nowhere near as common)
    The MPi (135M) has better fuel consumption than the BMM (136B), and is more ecological as well, therefore it is rated at Euro 2, while the BMM is rated at Euro 1.
    You said you did not get the BMM's, they were actually the early engine, with the MPi coming later.
    They have obvious differences in look:
    1.3 BMM

    Why is it so hard to find a case that doesn't suck?
    So far the only one I like is the NZXT H230, and some of Corsair's Obsidian series, which are way too expensive. And I don't want a case that sacrifices airflow for silence.

    Scored a computer today at school. Friend's sister killed it, and he said I could have it. I'm guessing a dead power board or a dead mobo, so yeah. I have no clue on its specs tho. HP Pavilion dv6000, 2007 vintage. He brought in in a pizza box, saying it was mine. You can guess the confusion.

    136M was more common than 135M here. The B's weren't sold at all to my knowledge.


    I don't think comparing a 135M to a 136B is fair though, a fairer comparison is 135B vs 135M or 136B vs 136M, both scenarios the M wins out.


    135 was meant for lower grade fuels than the 136. UK has decent quality fuel (95RON as standard, on par or exceeding US premium unleaded) so the 135 is rather pointless.

    It looks like it crashed in a really bad/forceful way. Notice how the front panels around where the engine was actually bend away from the car instead of being crushed inwards. It's no surprise the engine came out when the car got sort of torn away like that.

    This accident is just as mysterious as my post from earlier with the ute/pickup/ 3/4ths of an SUV being stuck inside of the pole.

    How did it get hit? From the damage to the door, pillars and front, it would look like it hit a tree or a post really hard sideways between the fender and the a pillar, but something literally tore the front off.
    What the actual fuck happened there?

    They say that it was a strong impact into a tree
    The two ladies got out without a scratch.

    What i was trying to say really
    I am not getting a felicia because all engines that came into them have too bad emissions to be worth buying and registering nowdays, who knows how bad it will be in 3 years.

    I just noticed that the Toblerone logo has a bear on it. My life will never be the same.

    I always thought it was just part of the mountain.
