I've made it to Sweden too.

Camping about 100 miles from venue.

Might see you Monaro boys tomorrow.......

We sent smoke signals, where were you?

Utter chaos today. More car's than last time.

We saw your legacy vehicle iva.

Time now for the burnouts again...

Also got to bleed my clutch as something feels bad. Must have been the last hard launch..

Hope you guys are having a cool time.

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..

[ARAF]

You nasty b***ard.

145*C ?. I'm guessing your gauge is wrong too.

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.

[ringram]

Sounds like the slow Volvo hogging the fast lane in Sweden that I tailgated...

..That had Swedish police in it!

Gareth will tell us how he found out

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.

Hi."legacy vehicle " ?...I don't get that,I'm a bit slow on tenuous puns,assume you mean the Fiat.

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.
