Nous sommes retournés
« on: 16 August 2009, 22:54:41 »
Peace is shattered. The bad penny (cent ??)  has returned...  :)

Not many photo's of the car, but some of where we went to put up later.

stats :

miles travelled 958.8 of which approx 380 were towing

estimated petrol use from the MID 42.61 gals @ 22.5 mpg
average cost of petrol £4.92 a gallon
estimated petrol cost £209.70p

Actual gas useage 242.4 litres = 53.96 galls @ 17.96 mpg
average cost of gas 51.572 p/ltr = £2.34 a gallon
Actual cost of gas £124.96

Saving £84.74 in the two weeks ( at 1.15 euros to the pound) - about 40%   :)

Problems - 1 minor - code 0420 removed using the resetter in less than 2 minutes. ( question about that going up in technical shortly )

beer drunk - too much
wine drunk - far too much
cheese consumed - far far too much

weight increase - classified information

Now the important question.....  :)

What have I missed, whats been going on ??  there are REAMS of posts in just 2 weeks .. I'll never catch up with that lot ... so a quick resume would be really really nice !!!! 

(alright .....  call me a lazy git, but I'm still in "holiday mode" )

:)

All that aside, are you getting your backside to Newent, and are you bringing that pikey wagon?  Or do I need to bring my own firewood?

You obviously had a good time Nige in the land of le frog :y

I love it over there, luckily the Sister in Law has just bought a place in Aquitaine so i'm hoping to get over there soon. I want to take the MX5 over but the wife is on about flying :( I might suggest I meet her there ::)

I always used to go to the South every year.  Driving is far more fun than flying, and nothing in it cost wise, bearing in mind you have to hire a car there.  You'd probably be quids-in as your car is going to be more economical than my MV6 ;D
