with growing confidence in it I had it at 48 mph the other day in the fast lane of the M42, the 4 lane section.
Steady on, you'll run over the bloke with the red flag

In a month or two I'm going to steel myself and try an acieve 51mph, bit scary though!

Is this while dragging the tin tent?  ;)

I've never done that and only consult the manual when I can't work something out for myself.  ::)  :)

If you read the manual, you end up going out and ‘fiddling’ with things just to make sure they work ok. Things you’d never normally use, but you want to make sure are working anyway.  ;D
