Hi Matt,

Unfortunately it wasnt that kind of weekend. My sister had a nasty car accident last week and asked me if I could come back up north and see her. A bloke hit her head on at a jnt and she was fairly shook up. SO it was a blast north up early Sat morning and then working my way through Sunday traffic back down south again. M-ways arent really a Grale's natural home! I have to say though the car did itself the world of justice.

I cant believe your bad luck I am so sorry

way back when I had mine I used it to travel from London to Leeds of a Fruiday evening to see an ex

Brim the tank in London and splash and dash in Sheffield, which works out at 170 miles in a tank at 1.2 leptons

Given our relative speeds that sounds about right. I think I was looking at the tank emptying itself after about 240miles.

It is almost impressive in making a Sagaris look fuel efficient!

My best was Bristol to London, brim to fumes in 125 miles.

Lets just say there wasn't much space between the pedal and the bulkhead
