What'll it do Mister?

177/176 on the speed reliably every time, top down after 1.5ish miles.

Oh, and in-line a gratuitous money shot from the lovely George whilst I was there



I was going to do a run top-up but suddenly realised having the computer saying "17 miles to empty" when you are doing about 11 mpg on the main straight wasn't that sensible to do "just another one"

Bruntingthorpe.

It's not scrapped, it's just having a rest.

You were never doing 11mpg with your foot down!!!

I've seen 4 on the instantaneous readout on my XJ!

It took off 11 miles for each run, and said 11 on the average and I know that's pretty good as I've done a brim to brim & compared.

Remember the engine isn't the same as previous, it did 24mpg on the trip down to Le Mans and we weren't hanging around.
