Me too. Anyone here actually doing it?

I might give it a shot in the M5. I'd be up for taking passengers if they fancy sharing the guel costs.

Eddie M5 ownership CANNOT be truly enjoyed without one of these! I love my fuel card as much the M5! smile

I would be interested in this for sure! On the downside, from experience MOST cars will cover 450 miles quicker than an M5 with a fuel range of just 200 miles

Mate, if i had one of those badboys then i too would be racking up 60k+ a year just for the hell of it. Unfortunately for us mere mortals we have to keep things to a safe limit with the current fuel prices etc. I can dream though.

You fancying the trip then Mark?

I'm up for it Eddie. Happy to chip in fuel costs.

I have a fuel card, can't use it for this though I'm afraid!

My boss asked me one day "Mark have you been abusing your fuel card?" I replied OFCOURSE it's 5litre V10 and I'm maniac! He simply wanted to know why there were 2 tanks of diesel on it when I had a loan car! It's the most essential mod for M5s.... screw the extra tax!

BUT back to topic yes I'd love to give this a go! Be even more interesting if it was more of a.... gumball type event smile

Can't make it a race, as it's not the first one there that wins. As long as you get there before 04:30 then you can consider yourself a winner. I'd be gutted to arrive after sunrise with everyone watching though
