All,

BIG THANK YOU TO

EVERYONE for making the day out to Dunsfold totally memorable and rewarding - everyone:

Jackie & Ian, Howard, Sean, Adam (VolvoTuning), Ian Burch, Dave (Doorman), Gary (special thanks for guiding small Volvo convoy to the Aerodrome) + two other friends of mine (misguided BMW Owners who came along as well)

-----------------------------

The TOPGEAR Programme will feature on TV

THIS SUNDAY 18th July @ 8pm

The star guest for this week - Martin Clunes - was fabulously hilarious - not to be missed

(We may not have made it into the shots - but who knows until the curtain rises)

------------------------------

For the benefit of all:

We did ask Jeremy Clarkson if he would feature the 850/V70R on TopGear? ....

He answered 'No'

but went on to say that he owns an XC90 - but it would be difficult to feature a V70R as he only has 2/3mins to feature a car.

yeah made it ok, i set the cruise on the m25 for 56mph just to see what i could eek out of it, and got as far as peterborough with an average 40.3mpg on the trip comp. thats running on mobil1 0w40 and good old Morrisons super unleaded, which i think is texaco. i had also just changed the oil filter and oil before the trip, and reset the sevice light, which i think resets the ecu.
