What a trip team. Wow.
My first thought was "OMG I wouldnt dare try that with mine" but actually thats just me being daft - she'd be fine. The limitation is me hahaha. But maximum respect.
(grabs calculator) - 250 miles round trip to ferry. 360 round trip LeMans - say 60 gallons of fuel... EEK!
But seriously - epic trip, epic write up, usual standard of photos (epic). I think the queue for the ferry was awesome
PS - What was the prob with Matts wheel in the end ?

Next stop was an unscheduled one as Matt wanted to check a worrying noise, which he thought was coming from the n/s/f wheel...
Turned out to be some of the duct tape on the roof flapping. Which was a relief...

Thankyou... I was looking at comments in picture. Doh !

We did about 600 miles, using the ferry. Would have been a fair bit more if we'd used the tunnel.
I dont remember how much fuel we used but working it out during the trip, we were getting about 12-13 mpg, but that was taking fairly easy at 60mph max. I know when we do more like 70-75, it's down to 10 at best.
Not too bad for a 493 (8080c), considering Harry Metcalfe's recent trip to France in his Silver Shadow (6750cc), he only got 14 mpg
