Beaune, France


After a 400 mile journey a on one tank of fuel averaging 75 mph we arrived in Beaune and still with 137 miles in the tank. Crikey what a diffenence to our beloved Grampy.

The cars officially run in now and 'loosened up nicely' taking in the French motorways in it's stride and eating the miles up! Believe me this car is fast! And that's from someone who's done 150 mph on the German Autobahns.

The only downside from doing this sort of constant speed, is the consumptions down to 44 mpg, but hey, in Grampy, the speeds we were achieving yesterday, we'd have been lucky to get 24 mpg!

We met an English/American family at the hotel we stayed at last night who thought Snoopy and our 'stretch limo MINI' were 'Awesome'!

Yep and loving every minute of it!
