I'm starting to appreciate all the bits I hoarded but never got round to fitting 😂

I think so. I know that my partner's 1.6 from 1993 has a different horn than my 1.8 from 1994 (both imported Eunos) but can't remember if mine has 1 or 2 horns

Both my early 1.8 Roadsters (1993 built, 1994 "model year") have had 2 horns.

I filled my car up with my reserve jerry cans to cycle it out. I will put some fresh inthe cans tomorrow. ps Oil contracts dropped to 1 cent today for the first time ever. Absolute crash. Contracts expire tomorrow. Could cause further crashes in the derivatives market tomorrow. Could be interesting. If you have loads in the bank I'd get it out personally.
Edit: Oil now negative price. In four weeks the problem will be immense. Half a billion barrels with no more storage left. This won't end well.

Reports say it is due to to lack of storage space due to low demand, they are turning off the pumps. Exchange rate is virtually unchanged.

There was an awful lot going on beind the scenes even before this virus situation. Now we are here, it's not looking good for a months time. There will be no physical place to store any more oil. Which means they effectively shut down and default on bank loans. Even if they burn it, or leave it in the ground it makes no odds to the financial problems looming. It will get interesting for sure Perhaps a mix of hyperinflation bail outs and many closed oil firms and banks. If we are still on lock down for the flu by that time the economy is likely dead anyway.

Big risk, as discussed elsewhere, is the have nots start to turn on those they think are the haves.... some may be surprised at the response they get.

An acquaintance elsewhere tells of an unexpected pitfall of halting oil production with an old tale of two production sites and undersea pipelines; one installed what appeared to be very much overspecified high pressure pumps, the other chose something smaller but quite adequate to the task of moving the oil at the rate required. Alas, when flow temporarily halted, the ambient subsea temperature was below the wax gelling temperature of the normally warm oil. So later the site with the monster pumps was able to restart flow but the other had a giant subsea candle which, so far as my acquaintance knows, is still there.

I wouldn't fancy being in a posh high rise or west london pad when londoners discover they have nothing in the bank, no pension left, no job, nothing at all, not even fuel or food arriving. Mega riots, furious crowds, fires. Lucky the police state has locked everyone down beforehand eh Oh well, lets hope it doesn't come to that. Not that hope was ever a stategy. Best get back to cars I guess. Those who wish to know can look into things themselves. Be lucky people.
