I just took the caravan out today for the first time since getting it. Just testing everything works ok before a short holiday. I must say that I was so impressed at how the RR handled it. Pulling it up a kerb was a piece of cake and I felt so in control. No revving up and slipping the clutch and getting wheelspin like I used to get in my Mondeo years ago on a previous van.

60MPH on the motorway with lorries passing me and me pasisng them was great. The whole thing just felt so stable and safe. Apart from a few inclines you couldn't tell the caravan was there. Town driving felt normal. Why was the P38 never tow car of the year?

The downside is I only got 12mpg mixed urban/motorway :( It's going to cost £140 to get to Devon and back. maybe 200 miles purely on motorways (at night) will be a bit better.
 
And I thought all the pikeys were over here-must be crossin the water for their summer hols!!
Hate to say this, but I tow a twin axle with my 4.6 and get around 14mpg and I ain;t no slouch.
By the way, how much are pegs and lucky heather fetching this year?????:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
All I'll say is this-when you go to church tomorrow to confess your sins (Will take at least an hour) be sure to take an umbrella as the chances are that the lead will have been nicked from the roof.
Apparently, when I was over there last week, this a regular occurance. What are the":D :D English":D :D :D race coming to???????
Ne ver happened in my day!!!!!!
