        Total miles for me door to door was 615
        Total cost of fuel was £122.50
        Average mpg for the weekend was 22.7mpg

        But used over 9lts of crap oil, (mostly over Debbs car)

        ran very well when it didn't break

        Alternator Bracket snaped (fixed with bigwashers)
        Throttle cable snapped (ran last 20 odd miles with cable through quater light)
        Replaced via somone's spare (Thanks again)
        wires snapped on alternitor (fixed with again many hands eager to help)
        fuel pumps failed (due to pulling out the feed wires when replacing the throttle cable)
        went down to 3 cylinders within a mile of starting tour(Service stations don't sell wire brushes)
        cleaned up and alls well (less all the oil i was freely distributing to anybody that wished to follow)

        Thanks to everybody that stopped and kept me running throughout the weekend

                    That was my throttle cable Darren

                    Did 503 miles door to door on £90... roughly 27 to the gallon...
                    Very happy... on 45's and BVH

                    Mind we did take it easy on the way home...

                            £30 in the car for the tour . Happy with that


















                            Oh and £150 in the 4x4 towing vehicle @ 22 mpg

                            Would have been cheaper to drive the Mex door to door. Bloody trailer queens
