S Club Euro Tour 2014

[Top Gear TVR]

My car prep day just started with a broken tooth, whilst eating breakfast!

Do we have tom-tom maps and anyone know how to do it yet?

Actually. Where is TomTom? So prepared!

Max. How many pairs of pants do we need?

The pressure.......what else will I need?

Sounds like you've got it pretty well covered, just checking I've got enough petrol money (and maybe enough left for a beer or two) .....

My co-driver, rev-limiter, beloved, Mrs Lynch, keeps asking for routes and hotel names, etc.?

Everything is ready apart from the Sunday routes and I'm waiting to receive those from the TVRiders in the deepest darkest Black Forest. As soon as I get them you'll know

[DamianS3]

Any chance you could share an early route I am experimenting with getting them on my garmin Nuvi..

Thanks

Yeah - that's just wot I need to worry about now - on top of crapping it as a first timer - and your running a V6!!

Don't worry about being a first timer - everyone helps each other as necessary. If you are worried about V8 mpg join the GTS. I think Joe did the whole Alps trip on half a tank and i think that my V6 had petrol flowing out of the filler at the end of the trip. Oh! maybe I am confused with the beer in Switzerland:

I won"t even get half that !!

[Barry S1]

I think 25 ish would be a good average on all cars

[Barry S1]

Beer consumption might be
Higher

[Longers]

As high as 25 Barry? You're obviously not trying hard enough

[Barry S1]

Sorry, will try harder this year, get it down to 24 mpg

assuming I get my gearbox fixed I am anticipating 30+ on the cruise down. Managed more than that last time?

[phillpot]

Good fuel economy is all about a "light right foot", do you think these would help?

[Deeman]

Jeez they are foul. What worries me more, is what your looking for on the bay..
