It is, now that it's not pissing neat fuel down the bores.....

Managed 305 miles on a tank, commuting, on the last tank (got 36l in, so not even running on vapour). That time it ran out, the odo was reading just over 120 miles since last fill! :lol:

Had identical conversation at home when I took the Jag round when between other cars. Roll angle down Duffus remarkable - resulted in great photo of apparently holding off Radical at hairpin!

Would have been but can't make tonight.

Still with your performances piloting in that barge, I reckon you'll be claiming a few good scalps :wink:

see you there shug :D Probably wont be doing that many laps TBH, as its a bloody heavy barge and i dont want to break it. Dunno if its worth the trip up for you for only a few laps, but it should be a good laugh regardless

Like I say, I'm in Glasgow late afternoon, so it's brave the traffic home, or brave the traffic to KH. I'll probably be late.

Too many facking nights in front of the telly recently :(

Depending on what I feel like, I might slip someone £25 for the last hour on track...

sounds like a good compromise. I put a post up to sell it on SCC but i actually want to sample the audi on track , if only for a few laps. This is a good compromise.
