Back from hols
« on: 08 April 2010, 18:14:31 »
Just returned from a week in  Brixham. Took the caravan. On the way down it was very windy-the car rarely got into top gear-I think I got about 15mpg.

Totally different on the way back-car in top nearly all the way and back up to 19-20mpg.

Car behaved perfectly as alaways.

That's because you drunk all the beer, less weight on the return journey ;D ;D :y :y.

Off on my jollies tomorrow, long weekend in York.
Beer/wine already packed :y
Hitch the van up and go :y

Mick ;)
