Hello,
SWMBO and myself are leaving South Wales and heading to Scotland for a holiday, leaving tomorrow am. Stopping at Edinburgh first night and then heading to Dornoch which will be base camp and have 4 days of travelling the NC500.
Back down to Edinburgh and then running home.
Ill clear all MPG figures and Mileage and will do a final figure to see how the car does.

If anyone spots us about give us a beep and wave or come over and say hello.

I know some are interested in mpg figures and stuff so it might be interesting to see how mine goes on the whole trip.

Here’s my car, its not too hard to spot with the Chromoflair Spectral Blue paint

Have fun, cars looking good

Thank you Dr F.

It’s great now to get out and about as Wales and Scotland have been having different Covid rules to the rest of the UK

1,827 miles covered. 27.8mpg for the trip and a probably will never see again, when filled up at the end 541 miles to go on a full tank.

Looks like a great tour, some great pics.

Hi Stevepen, we stayed in Dornoch Links House Hotel. It’s a little gem of a place I hope you enjoyed your trip as much as we did  19MY SVA-Dynamic Spectral Chromoflair Blue but colour not available in profile
