"A R75 v's Fiat 500 (new type?). I know which I'd prefer to do 1,000 km in!
I hope the tyre swap sorts out your juddering."
A brand new Fiat 500. Thanks to her sluggish uphill speed we could admire at leisure the landscape!
On another hand for the first time Lady Carlotta exploded the 4.2k revs that was her maximum so far and once brilliantly reached 6k revs thanks to her new VIS motors.
Thanks to my little Chinese device, any bluetooth phone play list can be connected to the genuine Rover radio I've kept as well as one memory stick on the device, plus the 6 CD changer. Enough for a large journey.
As you may have noticed above, a 75 V6 2.5 (as well as a ZT) looks rather thirsty. However thanks to the ethanol bargain price (40% of the 95 ron price in France) it remains very reasonable: Lady Carlotta drinks for around £15 every 100 miles (around 8€ / 100 km). Not too bad for a V6!
A bliss!
