    I did it....

    =D> 410 miles on a tank, 40.8mpg.... just filled up with v-power and will be giving #274 a good clean this w/e as a reward for breaking the 400 mile per tank magical milestone. A few probably do this, but as they've mainly been town miles not motorway miles I think it's an achievement...... 8)

    Custom badge/plaque

    I asked RS Graphics if they'd make up a plaque for me. They gave me the option of metal or immitation metal plastic. The metal one was about £50 and the plastic one £10, so I thought I'd go for the plastic one to see how it looks. It's actually really nice quality but die to it's thickness...

    50k miles!

    Driving to work this morning took me over 50k miles! How many others are there to have reached this? Think I have seen at least 2 others on here that have done 50k, and quite a while ago too. Must be a few more by now?

    very fast petrol gauge...

    since around a month or two ago, every time i fill up, i notice that the petrol dial goes down much faster than it is supposed to...however, the digital dial does not coincide with the dial. The digital dial is much more accurate. i.e. i filled up saturday and have hardly driven the car...
