[fatfires]

Hi all
keep em peeled - 'the blueone' is heading north from Devon, with a strange tall white box trailer in tow covered with fire safety logo's and slogans.
Thurs am A 30, M5, M6, to Carlisle, stop overnight, Fri am A74, M74, A71 to Irvine - pm returning A76, A74, M6 to Haydock, stop over and returning home M6, M5, A30 Sat, should be a good test to see what she will return while erm 'high speed' towing an areodynamic brick!!

Watch out for the A76 on your way home,there have been 3 fatalities on that road within 3 weeks and there is currently a campaign running to have this very dangerous road upgraded.

thanks for that, if you were going from the M6 to irvine and back which way would you go?? I can only go by maps, your local knowledge would be helpfull

fuel economy....not!

Hi all
after tramping north..up with an aerodynamic brick on tow, 'high speed crusing'.....dont ask!! and returning not towing just towing it..even more dont ask!! I actually returned circa 20.5 MPG which concidering the trajectory speed I am well pleased with....what I did find out was that at an indicated 89 mph the citroen with the digi speedo gave 81, but got fed up with that so left them behind....2 questions
1. does that also mead that my counter will be the same % amount out ?
2. does putting the speedo needle up against the trip reset button do it any harm ?
out of interest, slightly more mpg and speed on bio/veg than dino, but the pong of 'biofuel' not very nice .....veg much nicer ...and over 1100 miles round trip and only saw 1 other Surf - miserable git didn't wave either!!!!!!!!
