    Nerve Test

    Did the Blackpool 'lumeys' last night in the 2.4 - 1 1/2 hours of idle speed movement then 30mph restrictions on the m55 - temp gauge never budged (i know cause i checked it every 30 secs!!)

    is this a good sign or was i just lucky!

    btw surfs nearly turn as many heads as the lights!

    still grinning after 5 weeks - even keeps me off the guinness!!

    take care

    And i thought i was so in control of it - just fell for this one even payed more than i should have......

      Good sign indeed, it can be bad when it moves up but not always. Sat intraffic a few weeks ago in my 2.4 blazing hot day 45 mins to do 1 mile and she was fine. They ain't as bad as some would have you think, round town there ain't no difference in having a 2.4 or 3.0, 30 or 40mph is your limit and both will cruise comfortably at that. If your doing regular motorway stuff then I would agree the 3.0 offers more comfortable higher speed cruising. I have been to Sunderland and back and Yorkshire this year in my 2.4 and she sat very comfortably at 80mph, with the occasional burst here and there surprisingly if you look at how much overtakes you at that speed it aint a lot really.
      Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.
