just done the first run fuel calcs.

thats not bad, picked my dad up from heathrow last friday, bout 140-150mile round trip. dropping him off and coming home i was doing about 60-70mph and got about 32mpg out of the BM. picking him up i was pretty much doing 80mph there and back with the odd burst to 90mph to pass people and managed 30mpg still so i think you did ok for a V8!

Especially when he was attempting corners at 75 that waterbeds shouldn't really attempt....

kinda doesn't get the whole 'luxo barge' thing yet then! :)

We made it didn't we.

Shouldn't attempt it. But nice to know it made it through.

I reckon it could do that corner at least 10 mph quicker without problems, well, other than the sea-sickness tablet shortage.

Devastatingly awesome cross country 4.0 V8 pikey waterbed.

Tcheeky car that.

Was it good enough to have you chaps lovingly stroking the soft touch dashboard and having lustful thoughts about the cup holder(s)? :)

There was a *lot* of dash fondling. I was trying to spot damped coin tray lids but there weren't any repmobiles in the collection (Tim parked too far away).

I'd suggest Tim's was more of a Luxobarge. Not as much of a barge as the Celsior mind.

Not sure where that would leave mine, then. Ticks: front wheel drive. Ticks: derived from a repmobile machine. But it doesn't have cupholders or damped coin storage units either.

My coin tray slides out of the dash on a nice damped slidey mechanism thing. As for the powered and motorised central cubby - that's just the biz.

Nothing beats the Celsior's rear armrest with built in cassette player.

I have one. But it is well hidden.
