Drove down to Plymouth and back this weekend from Banbury on one tank of Fuel. My previous record was set when I first bought my LE 7 years ago at 425 miles. This weekend I blitzed it with 460 miles and I wasn't even trying until half way home when I thought to myself "I may make this" so slowed down a bit for the last 100 miles which worked a treat. Lots of smiles per miles tongue


362bhp of warble

410 is my record down to Weymouth / round south coast back in 2009 for a 270 bhp car it's good! Trouble is now it costs £81 to fill up frown

But of course that was my old Sprinty which is now in coupe heaven.

So far best I've got out of current coupe is 340 but I do alot of urban driving

With the engine you've got, you'd be able to do that no bother mate.
