Took the Roadster out today for a proper shake down run.
Went to La Rochelle then back through to Cognac and the vineyards.
Brill bit of road, nice and twisty. In total did about 190 miles.

Stopped a few times resetting the tracking and suspension.
Finaly got it how I liked it. Now tracks dead true at all speeds.
Lost that dodgy twitchyness. Got about 30 mpg,
which is what I would expect on that type of run. 35mpg sensible, 25mpg loooony
So all in all I'm a happy bunny.

Just roll on Stonleigh now...:D

Fantastic news David :) :)

You was cutting it a bit fine for Stoneleigh :eek:

Glad you got the car back to how you like it ..... I guess you was only part loony today if you managed 30 mpg :D
