i had i nice trip in the range to dusseldorf and back covering 818 miles at an average of 22.9 mpg which for a s/c and for average speeds of 80 mph isnt that bad..
my range performed faultlessly with only a very slight steering vibration around 85 mph which i think might be down to wheel alignment which is on my 'to do' list..
i didnt drive around dusseldorf but drove to the hotel and parked up and used me feet and the tram to get about..the hotels underground carpark had a height limit of 1.9 metres which worried me a bit but i stuck it in access and drove very slowly,

my range 'tucked up' for a few days,

Nice little trip story that Stan

You are lucky down south that you have a link to Europe for those little trips... It's a marathon just to get down to the Chunnel for us. It's the skiing trips I miss. Good consumption figures if hitting 85mph... Previously..

good point that Archie but it still took us a fair while to get to the tunnel what with roadworks and traffic...the peeps down in kent are the lucky ones, carrefour in calais was packed on sunday with london sounding accents... ... - .- -.

Funny, I always thought they were a southern german thing. Been to the one in Freiburg and a few in Switzerland but not anywhere else. How much beer did you have in the back, or was it german sausage in your rear?

it was a nice warm sausage ..

we went to the cologne xmas market last year and preferred that one to dusseldorfs.. ... - .- -.
