Nice one mec you know it makes sense. That will be the 2nd time to ireland for your car won't it. How do you find night driving in yours?

Btw I was in the garage the other day looking at my spares and sorting out bits I want to sell and suddenly realized my engine crane was gone, then remembered you still have it lol :lol: You do realize its £15 per day.....?

I can't speak for everyone, but from my own point of view, I'm quite happy drivin' the car, Just can't see the point of driving a shit load of miles, just for the hell of it. It's a no brainer from where I live, Liverpool is less than 2hr away & on the other side it's about 10 min. Can't see the sense in driving all way to Holyhead to then drive all the way back north on the other side, of coarse if you live in the south of England you probably don't gain owt

It's nothing to do will fuel costs with me, it's a shit car to drive, end off, driving the damn thing from mine to Caley is far enough. last year My D covered around 600 miles, that was caley to and thro twice and Duxford, thats more than enough for one year. Included in that was one recovery, but nothing fell off, which I was quite surprised about!!!

No no really 600 miles is all?

Last year I did a whopping 4000. Only one time at the shoulder and that was empty fuel tank.

I really love (l.o.v.e love) to drive this machine.

I did about 7000 in mine last year, which was actually a bit much to be honest because it started becoming boring like any other car and not special. But its been parked up since October so hopefully when she comes out this year it will be something different again.

No mec I don't need it back, I was thinking of selling it actually but I know if I do I will need it a week later lol.
