Not so many as Svend, but a few of my Wife's 10 year old Honda Jazz:

Sorry, a bit over kill I know. I just love the curves and lines of her.

Nice is that LPG or NOS ?

LPG, I would be thinking. Unusual for a NOS nozzle in an exposed position.

a) Those re-map figures are sensible, and NOS on a vehicle like this, would, in my opinion, not be sensible at all.

b ) Few vehicles with a NOS installation have it declared to the insurer. Would anyone in their right mind publicise the modification by putting the filler on the outside.

Nah, I say LPG. Furthermore - I bet it makes it far more fun, and cheaper to run, than a diesel!

LPG for direct injection - rather dear option if done properly. Moreover not that cost effective...

Nasty one, Ned. Pity the wing caught it too - looks like you could have got away with one of the 'mobile body repair' boys if the wing hadn't been involved.

Did something similar 8 or 9 years ago against a sandstone wall (maybe not quite as bad) . Came in and told my wife about it then added "But it could have been worse, Darling. At least I was driving your car. It could have been my own". She didn't see the funny side - no sense of humour, my wife!

Yeah, what you can't see from the photo is that it's cracked the frame of the headlight and pushed it back into the wing. Insurance job; new headlight etc; 3 days off the road!

My wife's Panda's in nearly as bad a state. Her fault, though; not mine!

Nos or Nitrous Oxide is stored in a cylinder at around 1000psi, you need specialist equipment to fill the cylinders. The people that I know who run nitrous do indeed declare it to their insurer but have specialist cars which need specialist insurance

Superb Combi Facelift, Elegance, 2014, 1.6 CR, 6sp, Cappuccino on Ivory leather with black carpets. No mods, all stock.

 

Like DodgyDidger said above - it takes people by surprise. Especially the rear seat passengers who feel much more loved, with their heated seats and legroom, than they ever did with my previous BMW estates.

Have you noticed traffic slows when they see you?

 

I park in laybys on the A42 just so they can see.......lol

 

Sometimes yes, but not anymore as I don't have the white one. Replaced with a red S3 Combi.

 

 

I'll keep an eye out on the A42 then - I'm down there every other day.

Throttle in a bottle AKA the piston melter

 

Diesels can use it, also propane can be used in a similar way
