Had a look out of the window and circa 5 inches of snow had fallen overnight!

Has this was the day I was driving 320 miles round trip to collect my CSL I was a little concerned....

So, bite to eat and get the part ex (R32) out of the garage to drive down sarf!

R32 coped excellently with the local snow (motorways were OK) and I was Guildford way by 10:30.

Cesil was clean and dry in the dealers garage. After a bit of paperwork and a coffee I was on my way back home.

I must say, my new steed coped well - a steady 80 or so on the way back and by the time of my return, the roads at home were more RWD friendly!

A quick pressure wash to get rid of the salt and he's tucked up in my garage!

30.2MPG! that was better than the Golf on the way down.

PICS etc to follow and no doubt more questions

Congratulations deanobeano

I see 34MPG on a run if staying just under 80mph

Any pics ?

Nice Work.

I was supposed to be taking mine out today, but snow scuppered that.

I've nudged 40mpg before, cruising carefully on the M-way at 65-70.

Congratulations on your acquisition 30.2 SPG, not bad at all.
Regarding your dilemma, why not take the Mrs. as a birthday treat 'That's why I bought the car dear, so I could surprise you' might work

I don't think there is a need to talk wildly about costs and put people off.


My trip will not cost anything like that and many other likewise.
