This year i'm doing 30 odd which I can only put down to fitting a new plenum and fixing the clutch judder
The other trick is to resist the temptation is planting your right foot

Still enjoying mine too much, 270 from the last tank.
I am just about to give the car some lovely Bardahl engine oil tomorrow and got some Bardahl fuel improver free to try so we'll see if that works - every faith in Bardahl products and even more when it's free
