Don't really have the time to trawl through the last 11 days worth of posts so... Did I miss anything interesting?

Lots & lots Paul ;D

Did you have a good time?

Fantastic! 3150 miles in 11 Days :y :y

The Swiss scenery was stunning and the San Gotthard Tunnel is awesome... 17km Long :o :o

Average economy over the entire trip (according to Trip Computer which is spot on for Petrol consumption) 30.5mpg. Lower than I was expecting but considering the car cruised at between 80 and 100+ for 4 solid days (about 45 hours) I can't complain, especially when you take into account the massive hills :y :y

Car was superbly behaved... Didn't use a drop of oil or coolant but did have a temper tantrum on the last night and the morning of departure with 2 flat batteries ::) ::)

Handbrake stuck on when I had to use it but climbing underneath and a quick tug on the cables soon sorted it... My own fault as I didn't get around to servicing it :-[ :-[

Only downside is I need a new exhaust... It's snapped one of the pipes into the rear box :'( Hmmm.... Eternal or full Stainless system :-/ ::)

Oh... And I did think I'd warped a disk but now think it's just a case of wheel balancing weights having vibrated loose on the abysmal road surface!

Must say a massive thanks to Jim for all his help :y :y

I haven't done the sums yet but we used less than 9 tanks of LPG which is considerably fewer than the 12 I was expecting to use :y :y Can say though that my car will do 360+ miles to the tank on a fast, hilly cruise ;) :y

Would I do it again... Yes. Tomorrow :y :y

360m to a tank :o

Maybe I should have gone for a bigger tank ::).  Broke my previous record today, managed 280m from a tank. Took 65l to refill (it had run out) - which reminds me, I had a strange glitch on it.  I'll bore you with that in a day or 2...


Glad you enjoyed it, I love driving in Europe - which is odd, seeing as I don't really get much enjoyment driving here...

Me too... Think it's because the Europeans know how to use lanes, even if they can't stay in them ::) ::) :y :y

To be fair... 360+ miles was because it was doing nothing but high speed cruising, admittedly on some steep hills... The tank full I used when there (apart from 120 miles) was on very hilly roads and I only managed about 280 miles ::) ::)

Bore me with the glitch whenever you get chance :y :y
