I wont be coming. That weekend conflicts with MinamiCon 17

Doesn't your IPHONE work in your bed? haters gonna hate indeed.
Are you coming? Or just here to comment?
Might come with someone else to help share fuel costs, but im not doing a 500 mile round trip for my car to tell me that it makes standard power or not bother running
Rather book another spring trackday!
Stick me down as a maybe, because if I say yes then it reduces my chance of actually turning up. I've never been to a rolling road day, so should probably make an effort
Maybe coming maybe running?

Can I be moved to a spectator now please? The NHS have actually decided to schedule my operation on the 10th of next month, so I won't be driving (well, its very very unlikely anyway).
Thankfully I should be passenger in Howard's car though.

Would love to come but it'll cost me £120 in fuel alone and I'm planning a trackday the weekend before so my finances just won't stretch to both

£120 to do ~250 miles...what do you drive to achieve such awesome mpg?

I will be driving my 3 litre car from Devon to the RR via Southampton on the way up and your town of Malvern on the way back. All this won't cost 120 quid so I don't know how you think just Malvern to the rr and back will!

'99 Impreza, I just can't drive at a constant 70mph on the motorway no matter how hard I try I always end up doing 90mph. That means around 20mpg and add on the fuel I'd use having a 'spirited' drive after the RR (probably getting 12 -15mpg if I'm lucky) and I'll easily spend £120 on fuel. Perhaps 300 miles rather than 250 for £120 but it's still pretty horrific.

Yeah but you drive a BMW with an amazingly efficient engine considering its power output, I drive an Impreza with **** poor fuel economy. Plus I'm sure you're far more disciplined on the motorway than me and will stick to 70mph!

In all fairness your car will do a lot better economy than an Impreza. Much more efficient engine and not 4WD. You will easily get better economy.
£120 is a touch extreme though. I was thinking more along the lines of £80 for my similar journey.

You didn't put my awesome anagram of Ford in

You've got a 6 speed box though
I'm guessing a combination of having that and sticking to 70mph would result in fairly reasonable economy. Of course I could just stop being a **** and stick to 70mph on the motorway Out of interest how much are you paying for SUL in brum? I have to use Texaco SUL here and it's currently £1.39 a litre
