and a whole load of fun.......
Just back from holidaying in the south of france, decided to take the Omega and drive down

Plymouth - Dover - Calais - Draguignan and then back the following week.
2200 miles covered in total, the old girl was fantastic, the only issue being that the speedo would pack up from time to time (losing ABS/TC/Cruise and some of the trip computer) put it down to a faulty ABS sensor that will be replaced this week.
Cruised all the way down at 80 and back at a touch more (was flashed by a french speed camera on the way back, i was pulling about 150Kmh at the time)
Average MPG was 27.9 and we used 80 gallons, not bad when you think the car had 3 adults and a child and all the clothes my wife could think to pack as well as the entire kitchen and the temp over there was between 27 and 30 degrees
Already booked up for next year, will be taking the car but will be looking at taking the chunnel as far down as possible and even the car train to Montpellier
