Big Power Meet 2014, Vasteras, Sweden 3-5 July
Discussion
Economy update 2.
Beat Gareth ok if I dont use aircond. Though with temps up to 30* outside that wasnt going to last long. First fill I was more efficient.
Second fill we were about the same. Last fill I used more with AC on all the time.
So on balance Gareth uses less at Cruise and mine uses less on load.
So sadly if we drove like Trevor Id lose all the time.
Fortunately we dont. We are at the Hotel about to enjoy a beer while team slow is 3 hours behind..
Sustained 120mph driving with bursts to 140mph = vxr8 indicated oil temps of 145*C
Ill let Gurmeet advise what sustained 50mph driving with bursts to 65mph results in... other than a slow journey time..

Well for the second year running the Channel Tunnel let us down big time and we were once again saved by DFDS ferries out of Dunkirk.
Im knackered and going to bed.
BTW beware a white unmarked BMW 13 reg estate with blacked out glass on the M25. Sneaky bd caught some lad in a VW golf after being sat on the tail (literally a couple of feet off the bumper) of a car doing about 60 in the slow lane. He then pulled out and chased said youth.

i just wanted to say thanks to Rich for sorting it all out and thanks to Gareth for lending me a car and to everyone who came.
I personally thought that this year was better than last year and hopefully next year will be even better
No problem. The old girl showed well for a stock car with over 100k on the clock.I personally thought that this year was better than last year and hopefully next year will be even better

Hi."legacy vehicle " ?...I don't get that,I'm a bit slow on tenuous puns,assume you mean the Fiat.We saw your legacy vehicle iva.
Only just got back from Sweden,I stayed on for an Historic Rally also in Vasteras this weekend but came
home early from that,it goes on till Saturday,due to appalling back pain.
