<...> so I 'pushed' them a bit until they finally pulled away on a straight. Ten miles later they were in a dry stone wall<..> I checked out the crash site last night and it wasn't the car that passed me - the one in the wall had obviously been coming from the other direction... Don't feel so guilt...

Would love to see you - I could probably supply a bed for the night if you want too... Thanks for the offer of the bed but we will be bringing our own - ie. Howling Moon Roof Tent - so if you could just supply a suitable patch of grass/gravel to pitch on that would be perfect ! :D :wink: (The Scotl...

Good to hear you've settled in, we're planning a small trip up your way later in the year if the mods to Pam's 90 go as planned. Would love to see you - I could probably supply a bed for the night if you want too... Matthew - it's pretty much as much fun as I can handle with TC on... Last night I w...

Re: FUel consumption - good news!
Well I am now all set up and working/living in Scotland. I have a 66mile commute (each way) over some of the best country roads and I am doing it in my Skoda Octavia RSV Estate (thanks Matthew!) which is brilliant... Apart from slightly scruffy interior, near the limit front tyres and being in need ...

Re: FUel consumption - good news!
Update on the fuel ( and other things): Towing an unladen trailer at 55-60mph the consumption is down to 30mpg equivalent diesel. Laden about 25... The tyres - which started out so impressively quiet, are now droning away nicely and causing an annoying sympathy rattle behind my head - coincidentally...

Re: FUel consumption - good news!
I reconstructed the whole of the front end of the trailer and the hitch on the Range Rover, and when I drop the tailgate there is about 8mm clearance. Some might see this as evidence of intelligent design, but I know that it is sheer dumb-ass luck :-D http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/3...

FUel consumption - good news!
When calculating fuel consumption I had failed to take into account the effect of the big tyres. Since putting them on I had noticed that the speedo (measured by satnav) is now more or less accurate (rather than over-reading) and I had assumed that the odometer would be the same - but that is not th...

Re: Trailer mods
A bit of skip diving netted a nice bedframe that is now being recycled as a rear-screen guard after some dodgy moments with a lump of steel moving and resting against the glass a couple of days ago... http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s320x320/401391_10150587248977813_606172812_10901946...

By the way - does anyone know what that stuff is like in a fire? I am starting to worry now that I thought of that... Just been out and tried setting fire to an off-cut and - as you might expect it's not that appealing - little drippy blue fireballs falling down. I think that there will be a strict...
