I fell over backwards while carrying one a year or so ago.It land on top of me and cracked a rib.

I tried hard not to laugh....

...I'm just a failure

Just to get back on subject, spoil-sport I know, doesn't help that the poxy auto box is forever swapping cogs! The 5 speed in the Carlton could go from 17-18mph to 120 in top without thinking about it, just a brilliant pairing and made auto irrelevent!

i am currently doing my own little ECO/MPG test.

mine's a petrol 2.5v6 CD. filled up from almost empty (the trip comp. flashing telling me i only  had 26 miles left on the fuel in the tank and gauge on bottom red rung)

filled up tut max and cost £78.97 yesterday.

i immediately reset the dash to 0. and am going to see, with careful drivin (and i mean not exceeding 2ooorpm) how many miles i can get out of it.

trip computer not filling me with joy..... full tank it reckons will give me 272 miles. with a 16.5 gallon tank that equates to 16mpg 

now i must stress that i'm purposely only doing town/urban driving for this real world test............ i know from doing long trips that the old girl actually works out pretty economical when sat on a motorway for 12 billion hours 

ill post results when empty if anyones interested!!!
