Good Day At Brands Hatch

[Guest salty_monk]

Rizla spent about £18 to get to Barkston, go round Barkston etc & still had half a tank left I think.... makes you think! Cheap tax too...

[Guest docter fox]

I used £10 just going round

 

PS, how far is Barkston from rizla? he's in essex

 

may have to try and get an insurance quote

[Guest salty_monk]

I dunno, ask him.. It's about 140 miles from me I think so very similar... He did follow Julie up though & I did overtake them "driving miss Daisy" on the way back so presumably not so good with a heavy boot...

[Guest docter fox]

thats still 140 miles further than I'd have got with the same amount of petrol you sure he didn't fill up?

 

I wouldn't mind something like this though

[Guest Battery Bill]

Rizla does not drive fast on the road (His words not mine)

Here we see what happened when we followed him to Brands Hatch

Notice whats overtaking us

[Guest docter fox]

I suppose 50 in 6th on a dual carriage way must be fuel effiecient as well as slightly dangerous

[Guest rizla]

i did newark and back on a tank full,thats a total of 300miles about 4 gallons of fuel at a steady 65-70mph

 

but when gunning it i guess i do about 20mpg

[Guest Busa Rush]

it would go well but wouldn't be "quick" would be a bit on the heavy side .... sorry the ZX 10 in a hood i mean..

 

i hope i not started another row

 

as for the mpg mine drinks it prob 15-20 mpg .... but then i always pull away and redline it in every gear up to a ton where ever i can it's intoxicating...

steve will prob be able to tell you what he gets from his he has a slightly higher diff than mine

 

cheers

I have 3.14 freelander diff in mine, and with 'spirited' driving I averaged 38mpg going to Le Mans this year. This did include various foray's into 3 figures

 

As Busa said, it is neigh on impossible not to 'nail' it at every opportunity and it would be downright rude not to show 'the baseball cap and blue neon brigade' the way home

 

At a track day it falls to about 20 - 22 MPG

[Guest Busa Rush]

LOL@ blue neon brigade pete

[Guest docter fox]

I try and embarress the "blue neon brigade" too, even if it means taking a slight detour

 

this bike engine talk is getting me thinking

Andy I make that 75 mpg was it all down hill ?

[Guest rizla]

no just the dyno jet fitted replaces the standard needles,guess this is what does it,i was impressed to,

 

i put £20 in the tank before going and did barkston track day,put £5 in at the petrol station by the campsite,then put £20 in when i got home the milege there was 148 and the return was 151,dont know why i came and went the same way

 

one point i will make is that on the road i drive like a adult should and respect the speedlimits etc,the good thing about driving at those speeds is people notice you,wave,say hello etc

 

driving into the redline etc on the roads is asking for trouble,and i need my liecence for my job

[Guest Battery Bill]

Mmmmm Whats This then?

 

Only Kidding Andrew shame there was not more people like that

[Guest rizla]

never broke the speed limit though
