My wife in the car on the way to work this morning - talking about car peformance, after having watched Top Gear last night:

i didn't say it was safe just easy to make

almost as easy as tnt

you can make that in your engine

with super unleaded and toluene (major ingredient in octane booster) when overmixed

Of course the propellant in that St Ivel "squirty cream" is Nitrous Oxide.

I wonder if you squirted it in the carb.............

Someone ought to try that.

Go on you know you want to.

Cheers

Any dentists on here?

Im sure they could supply a couple of large bottles, nitrous oxide that is, not glycerene, enless they blow your teeth out!

I was told by my friendly local gas dealer that he could get me bottles of medical grade Nitrous should I want it. Hehehe, yes please.

I always wondered why they don't just make fizzy petrol - and we could do away with carbs / fuel injection altogether. Have a pressurised tank in your car, like a big pop bottle.

In fact, why don't they make the roads out of rubber and then your tyres could be concrete or asphalt, giving you a flywheel type effect and loads of mileage on them.
The roads would be nice and easy to resurface too, just pour new rubber in any holes and melt it flat.

My tablets have run out...

pop would be the operative word. nitrous oxide is an oxidizing agent, mix it with petrol and I think it would become quite unstable (explosive)

my bro got some nitrous in a small pressure bottle, think it was something like refills for a chefs cream squiter. Quite a laugh apparently...

Sneak a bottle on Nitrous Oxide into a small room full of people... its funny (Especially to them)
