I fill the cossie up maybe once a fortnight. She doesn't get used that much but gets a kickin' most times she's out
Use Dawn's ragtop through the week,cheap as chips to run

Mine is too much

Me and Smit both filled our cars at Ipswich last weekend to drive to Santa Pod, we stopped at the Cambridge Services after a 70-80 mph drive up there, he managed to fill his for £10 where as mine was still going at £20

my old saff used to do about 60 miles to a tenner (work and back) so i was putting in a tenner a day

couldnt afford it, so flogged it and got a 1.1 to use (and for the missus to learn in as well)

then after keep talking to all you clowns on here, i got the bug again and bought a nice black s2.

£45 - 300 miles or so. Don't do that every week (but need to ring Greenlight and let them know I'm gonna be going over my 5000 miles about halfway through the policy....)
