So we were down in the 'Vegas of the North' (Blackpool ;)) at the weekend, and decided to take it easy on the trip back home. So, reset the Journey computer, popped onto the motorway, set the cruise control at 70..and let the car do its thing...
At the end we had to go into Dundee to drop off a friend, then back out to Errol (which lowered the average speed quite a bit), so I'm pretty happy with the final figure! :thumbs up:

Ach, I remember the days when it was an NMS Badge of Honour to see how HIGH your fuel consumption was in your JCW 210... we've all gone SOFT! :frown:

I remember getting 11mpg at a knockhill track night and remember John getting down to 9mpg on a "normal" journey

Still loving the drinking of my JCW 210 (although it won't be 210 by this time next week...). God gave us petrol to have a laugh burning it :thumbs up:

Final stage of the power plans - Newman, 550s and Mynes tune - hoping for 250bhp, we'll see ;)
