Smoking

[Dezzy]

I'm lucky enough to have a friend with a long private road and i noticed the other night that at 140+ my 8 smokes, alot. Enough for me to worry! plumes of white blue smoke, she's buring oil. Now it's not something i've noticed when revving hard in other gears but could be that i've not clocked it because it would only be sat at hight revs for not very long before a snatch another gear. But i should be able to replicate this in every gear right? or is it likely that it's only when strained hard i.e. free revving won't cause it when staionary but trying to push the old girl up past 130 does? What's your thoughts?
I've noticed she has smoked before but when i have started it moved it on the drive and then shut off, the next time i fired her up white blue smoke goes past the window. I've never worried about it because it was only very occasional and only when shut off soon after starting.

She does use a bit of oil but it says in the handbook that they can use upto (don't remember) per 1000 km.

Looks like i'm never taking her to the speed limiter in feer of KABOOM
