Bought three ratchet straps at a £1 each to tie the parcel around the fast black one , bet they snap  ::) ;D

Won't you get loads of condensation under that tarp?  :-\
Said as much yesterday evening... quick and easy way to ruin it :-X

Ordered a Mahoosive Tarp to wrap the Omega fast black one up in  ::) The proper felt lined cover i used got ripped in the last gales we had  >:( >:(
Be better to give it a bloody good wash and Polish and keep picking leaves of it/check the scuttle drains periodically ;)
After the other day, I was trying the new, polite me... clearly too subtle though ;D

Took the 190 out for a drive before we go for a proper one tomorrow. I love driving it, its so far away from a modern car, you point it vaguely where you want to go and you get there eventually. I dont think I've had it over 4k rpm yet!

(Will be getting new bushes soon though, its all a bt floaty at the back...)

Driven it to Nottingham and back on less than a tank of fuel... three hours and 190 miles each way 8)

Met a nice chap called Nigel and collected all the required panels to undo my bump. :y

Still there :D :D

About as good as it's likely to get in this climate... A bit more warmth and it is less painful. But hey... Life goes on.

I did think it was broken... Normally I am 'happy' to see 240-250 from a tank :-X

I managed 30mpg between 2 fills once in the 3.2, but that was on a trip back from holiday, with the outlaws onboard. I suspect it might have been higher, but for a few miles of youthful impetulance when the mongrels on the A34 pissed me right off, and I was averaging sub 12mpg for about 10 miles...
