Where I live I get about 14mpg around town. From home to town in two miles I have two round a bouts and five sets of lights. not good if they are all at red. But do get 29/30 on a good run on Motorway.
My first car was in 1970. I also was a biker from age 16. had to many to recall. first car was a beatle , exported from Germany in 1947.no hydraulics just cables. Loved that VW.
My last Volvo,( I have had 3), was 21 years old, 2.3ltr Turbo Intercooler, and it was magic. not a bit of rust anywhere. passed mot every year no bother. wouldn't really like a new one though.
Happy birthday Trevor. What a load of old grumpies you are. I have had my 78th birthday. and last week celebrated 55th wedding anniversary. but do I grumble, of course I do. and I use my bus pass occasionally. Have a nice day. Stan. PS. Jag is running well also.

Hi Bill, always nice to hear a success story. I must admit I like to do all my own work. not that I don't trust garages, just enjoy it, but getting too old for it now, like Peter.
