293 miles and off to the seaside!

Keith · 5th April 2007, 21:14

After the trip to Brooklands on Sunday I went to see my Mum in Maidstone then off to the Hotel in Romford plus a few runs during the week

I filled the car up yesterday evening before coming home so I manged to get 293 miles out of it before the orange low fuel light came on that is only about 50-60 miles less than my 190 will do under similar driving conditions

Tomorrow I am going cross country to the Seaside near Barmouth, probably won't be getting such good MPG on that run as I tend to make full use of the bendy bits

Sorry no

Taking all the family and we might even go in the equally capable 190 if we decide to take the spotty dog as well.

So if anyone sees a Typhoon ZTT 190 heading their way with a stange Bark to the engine note it might be me.

Or swmbo could take the 190, kids, dog, sandwiches etc and I could have some fun on my own...............

I made the suggesion, got a very strange look in return, looks like the Auk gets a trip tomoorow and Boris stays in bed!

I really need an Espace!

Jules · 5th April 2007, 23:09

Espace? That's a swear word on here!!
Managed to squeeze 320 miles out of our 260 tank to the Haynes meet with full load on board. There was 5 litres left

Cruise was set to Rover 75.......I mean 75 MPH though.
Think we only only got 200 miles on way back drifting in the snow & hail. Seems a long time ago now.
Someone mentioned a meet in the North West any ideas when?
Glad you all had a good time in Brooklands. Couldn't find out how many V8's turned up in the end?

You should have some Fun on those Roads to Barmouth Keith and Good Weather forecast to.

Don't forget to bring back some Rock (edible type B4 you say anything about the Mountains meeting the Sea).
