Drove this home from my brothers place yesterday, 635 miles. I was concerned about the cost of gas so nursed it the whole way, 25.7 mpg (imperial gallons) which I thought was fairly outstanding for a 4.0litre straight six.

How quick to 60 can they be made to do if someone knew what they were doing? I have attached a few pictures taken on the journey from England to Scotland of the sunrise. Bill
