So, having made the decision to keep the old girl another year at least, was idly musing along today when I glanced down at the dash. Stopped and took a photo.

That definitely makes it a keeper now.

Strange you should ask. About 2 months back I had Dan send me a new seat base foam 'cos it was a bit saggy. All good now.

The base is not too bad its the back thats a pig. One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Googsy, seat base was about a 2 hour job. Worst bit is all the fiddly little split rings which hold on the covers. You really need a special tool which would take an hour off the job time. I fiddled with 2 pairs of pliers which was a bit of a ball-ache.

Worth doing though, much more comfy now.

how the hell do you get it to 28.4MPG? Mine seems to be stuck around the 19MPG mark  African Bush Junkie ... in London!

LOL, that's low, mainly 'cos we've been out with the Tintent. It's normally around 30. But, I don't live in a city, or a town come to that. I live in a village which is 1 mile form the motorway so most of my journeys are in top gear once I leave the village.

If I do my works run, about 130 miles of motorway with 4 miles of A roads, at works speeds you understand - well there's no point in getting tickets on works time is there....so pottering down the motorway it has been known to turn in high 30's.
