itn is a fun route i promise, its about getting the most out of ya cars and not getting done for speeding on the M1 ( or curb crawling and causing tail backs like when simon was in front )

would have been nice if the cossie went more than 120 but now i know what the reason is atleast

batt is deffo flat too , couldnt even wind up the window to stop the back seats getting wet till the tow truck arrived

Bummer bal mate. Sorry didn't speak to y much seemed to spend all day chatting to peeps. Any ideas what packed up on it?

Blew out the M1 and took the Poddington, Wymington, A6, A507, A1 route home. The old RS was good as gold all day despite a couple of foot to the floor moments.
