Stew Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Ok, many people asked me at Wales so I took a few notes on the way home! 1032.4 miles covered at an average of 27 mpg and approx 6 1/2 - 7 hours drive home after a full days shopping on Monday! Was a fair trip - I have done the maths on the fuel..... Was a brilliant weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 £205 quid on fuel alone! :lol: Well I'll gratefully receive the award Tim - unless anyone can beat it! Had a great time and it was well worth the effort. Jayne loved it and has a new found appreciation of my car 'geekness' that she has always struggled with!

Stew Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well not too bad - maybe need to double check the figures. Was a lot of driving but was well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It was appreciated that you travelled so far mate and was good to meet you. I only live an hour away from Chester and it cost me £60 on fuel so just over £200 is not too bad in comparison. My missus appreciates why I'm so geeky now, but she's paranoid I'm gonna run away with the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah, Jayne thought it was just me! It was good to be stood with 45 other owners drooling over each others cars. Took the pressure off me! She enjoyed chatting with the Wags too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Respect Stew for the time cost and dedication. Was great to meet you both. Think I may have travelled further though, Liz was navigating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Ha ha! Maybe. It'll be awesome to get the Zeds round the Highlands, no traffic lights or roundabouts to break up the convoy! I still can't believe I went all that distance and knew your neighbour Mike. That was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Stew nice to meet you and Jayne - looking forward to the Highland Hoon Top car you have there also - I could'nt have that front lip spoiler on mine - it would get beached on my speed bumps !

Ebized Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 That would be awesome. As said before Dave, it was worth the effort, Jayne loved it too. I think it could be a good competition on furthest traveled for September! Given your stats of 1032.4 miles/27.0mpg down to Wales and back I might have a chance, as add on mine of 690.7 miles/26.9mpg up from Surrey and back (average 41 mph and a slight detour via Cannock on the way up to see some relatives) that looks like a round trip of about 1700 miles, although as I'll be taking a route up through Wales (got to do the Evo triangle again) and a detour to take in some other good driving roads , probably more around 2000 miles. Hence the idea to include a visit to Sunderland - car might need a service, and some bits added if the other 'alf ain't alooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 It'll be a good comp in September. I'll tell you what, I'll stump up for a wee prize for furthest travelled! It will be small but a Scotsman putting his hand in his pocket and taking out something other than moths will be prize enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
