Adblue, why so much
I was outside showing the wifey how the roof works on the Z4 the other day (she's not very bright) and a delivery driver walked past our drive carrying two 20L tubs of Adblue. I thought "blimey that's a lot of pig's wee". He walked back up empty handed and our neighbour followed him to where his van was parked. They then carried another two 20L tubs of Adblue down to the neighbour's house.
I happened to say to the delivery driver (because I can't resist passing comment as you may have noticed), "blimey that's a lot of Adblue". He smiled and shrugged.
My neighbour who was the recipient of said Adblue has a 2015 Renault Megane coupe (don't know if it's an oil burner), his daughter has a 2020 Vauxhall small SUV of some description (again don't know if it has spark plugs or not), and he has a Harley Davidson of some description which has been out once in the 18 months we have lived here. The said neighbour is around 70 years old and retired.
What the f*ck could he need 80 litres of Adblue for?
I don't know him at all really, so am loathe to ask
It's now keeping me up at night.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Could you imagine the scenario: "ding dong". "Hello". "Hello, what the fu*k do you need all that Adblue for?"
Even I would think my neighbour was a freak!

I'm wondering if he thinks the "lockdown" is going to last for the next 20 years, and wants to makes sure his precious 20 year old fat daughter (seriously, she has an arse that has it's own postcode) doesn't miss out on all the travel she is obviously entitled to

Urea was what the RAF used to de-ice runways and taxiways. Less corrosive on all those expensive alloy parts.
