You see what I did there? 
Most will know my bonny blue wagon is called George (for them's wot just landed on the planet, she's a 2000 RR P38 with a 4litre THOR). So, the fun title kind of half explains it since there's an "A" in the day and if you squint a little...
Anyhoo, in detail, I necked the tank, set off from Inversmell, drived 200.4 miles straight with two pee stops (not me, I'm hard as nails) to our stop, jumped (well, hobbled mostly) into a taxi and were conveyed to the airport of choice. Was held up in slow roadworks a couple of times, but pretty much nailed it at 70+ almost all the way and used a smidge over half a tank
I did fill her with premium BP stuff which feels smoother and cleaner. We're parked up at the hotel we're coming back to so I rather think she'll fire up the following morning. Anyone care to place a bet?
Our hire car had 70Km on the clock so pretty much just out of the box. Working AC and all the usual nonsense you get in a top of the range FIAT 500 L. It's a diesel with stop/start (ideal driving at 80mph for about 70 miles, then stop at the toll booth and instead of the engine idling to feed the turbo with oil, it just stops ) and I rather think it's a 1.3 as it struggles unless you drop a cog if you want to pass something.
I had to purchase a sling for my arm (you may recall my accident back in Oct last year, and I kept telling the doc, surgeon, our wee dog, my neighbour, you guys and anyone else who'd listen about the pain in my arm/shoulder). I had a scan just before we left and they found a loose muscle all balled up in my shoulder. So the guy wants me to get an MRI to make sure, but looks like an operation when I get home. So, I look like some muppet who fell off his moped, but boy it helps.
The Spanish staff asked what happened so I told them: Gané un concurso de patadas de gilipollas
Anyhoo, cant wait to get home to drive my lovely old George. I haven't spotted one single 38 out here so far
