Too the VXR500 for a drive to the Geneva car show. Good to finally use it on a long run. It actually gets reasonably economic when pushing on. Sorry cannot say mpg but certainly got a lot further between tank fills. However took a short cut over the Jura and can I say do not take a Manaro anywhere near snow. Took about an hour to get over mountain pass in 3 inches of snow, mainly as no matter how hard I tried 20mph was max it would move. Still great practice on the drifting front. Sorry to the French later who came around a bend to find me sideways in the road. Only one speeding fine cannot be trying hard enough.

A speeding fine?!

You should try driving something less ostentatious, like a yellow Ultima, perhaps...
