Nice to see the arch again, looking down from the viewing windows made me ill, I had to sit on the floor before I could walk again.

I reckon mine is about the 70 mark and it'll drop a couple of mpg when pushed upto 80.

I'd say mine is also 70mph, but I've only really taken mine on one long-ish trip so far.

If it's Scotland it has to be the FF so you can enjoy the scenery of the small back roads without worrying if the E55 may hit a pothole or ground. The FF also allows you to see over the hedges and walls. 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone

I think worse than looking out the windows was the damn ride up in that tiny capsule! I did it a few years ago when I had to come here on a business trip, and once was enough for me. Neat piece of design though. Surprised a tornado hasn't taken it out yet Cheers, Aaron |

I did two trips in my 4.4 v8 2004 RR from glasgow to manchester. literally there and back no town driving except for 3-4 miles. averaged 20.5mpg. done this twice and both times got this mpg. this was mostly at 70-75 never over 80 at all.

Just as a matter of interest when talking about MPG. An Imperial gallon contains 20% more liquid than a US gallon therefore 17.5 MPG in the States would be about 20.5 in the UK. |

Daveo is right, I rememebr it all so clear now. I thought the RR WOULD DO 20mpg easy on a run however to my shock topped out at exactly 17mpg on the obc and also when i done my manual brim to brim checks LOL. |
