However keeping up with Jaime is hard work, used 7 gallons of fuel in 155 miles  :'( - Fun miles though... its neck and neck between the MV6 Omega and Senator...although he was edging ahead before a BMW got in the way.
Yes, the tlc that senny has had already has made a huge difference - it was flat when you first got it when I drove it back from Ardley.  That neck and neck bit down the A46 this morning showed how little there was between them full throttle at  :-Xmph - it truely was neck and neck, I may have been just inching ahead, and had that BMW not got in my way (proved my brakes work though), I am confident the MV6 would have been quicker.

A little more TLC and we will have to have another little drag at the same section :)

I would like to say in my defence, that this particular incident, I has on the inside lane, and Tunnie was trying to overtake. So he was teaching me bad habits ;)

My point, though, was how much the senny has improved with simple servicing since he's had it :y

Yep.

Planning a 6,000 mile trip around Europe to see what's what over there....

Things left to do:

Rear Springs
Brake Pads
Brake Fluid
Aux Belt
Water Pump
Investigate leaking injector(s) .....
2 new front tyres
Few dash bulbs here and there.....

After that should be ready  :)

leaking injectors - can be caused by gunge ect - you can get cans you put into the injector circuit - well I remember the can but I think it was injection - cleans all the gum off
