But my god i love this car. I think i have fallen in love with it again. It did miles like they were nothing and never skipped a beat. It's got power, handling, economy, comfort, badass looks and a great aftermarket audio system. Can't think of any other car i would rather have. Mods were all worth it just for this trip!

It was a joy doing 85mph on open motorways with no traffic, and getting 40mpg back! For a constant 85mph, up hilly terrain too, 40mpg was unbelievable. Before the upgrade i could get 47mpg but that was driving at 70mph.

The amount of flies on the front bumper is sickening! I brought my cleaning supplies with me so looking forward to cleaning it in the evening.
Impressive fuel figures Mo. A real complete package I'd say economy, power, efficiency along with effortless execution
