Happy Birthday

Hip, Hip...... Horraayyyyy !

Another year another few thousand miles and a buck load of depereciation from the market.... But at least there are dedicated drivers like your owner who takles care of you....

My 6 looks like it went ten rounds with Mike the trolly tyson and lost all 12 rounds... lol but what do you expect for its age ! lol

Very true Niz, very true.
Which is why I'm not complaining.

Mind you, the local jetwash guys still seem amazed at my 6's good condition for age. Always perks me up when they comment on it.

Dang, I've just read my post... as you can see I was half cut when typing this, but I'm glad you understood what I was trying to say

Did you buy your '6 a present Blue? Or did you just treat her to a tank of super?

She got a good clean

As can be seen by the photos. Hand washed with AutoGlym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner.

In the next few days she'll get a cost of Autoglym Super resin Polish and then McQuires on top of that.

You do spoil her Blue.

She's worth it though!

I try my best.

Latest news is I'm now down to 1/4 of a tank with 350 miles on the clock since a full refuel. Considering I get 100miles per 1/4 (give or take 5) it looks like these new treatment tablets have improved my MPG by 15%!!!!!

Deep down though, I know I should be getting more that 400 miles (give or take 20) to a tank of a petrol? Considering its about £50 to fill her up right now.

Don't forget your MPG will be increasing now with the milder days, thats if it's possible to get a 'mild' day in Scotland that is

Been 20 degrees up here since last Monday

And actualy, I find my MPG is better in the cold. Petrol evaporates at a low temp, so the colder the better it seems.

Like a good wine Blue, she seems to be improving with age.

A credit to the owner ................. Happy Birthday Bessy.

I find I get better performance when it's it's cold and damp, but better economy when it's warm and dry.
