I am 1/2M from BB and parked on my drive. If you cruised passed slowly you could spot my v red F25 behind the hedge next to the house with a Veyron.

Tank, why have you got your iDrive setup to show km rather than miles?

Cheesebag - The journey computer was from Warwick to Cannock back to Warwick (I have a good customer in Cannock) I actually live in Warwick and no snow (as reported above by John)
Sfax - I use only metric units but changed the screen shot to MPG for other forum members! We have a cocked up units system in UK - you buy fuel in L, emissions are measured in g/km and only road signs have miles on them so you cannot easily work out MPG in your head anyway. As an engineer I prefer Km, if I use Km units in the car then everything is the same! And, even when I went to school, only metric was taught - we should have changed the road signs. IMO miles are outdated.
John - the Veyron is not real just loads of JLR managers cars around where I live.

A cocked up system? I drive following road signs and sat nav distances in miles, I measure my height in feet and inches but never use yards and don't understand ounces, when I run I use km and I measure my weight in stone, I buy pints of beer and litres of milk, eat 12oz steaks in restaurants and buy meat in the supermarket measured in grams. Simple

First two tank fulls

I got 24.8mpg on my first tank full and 25.3mpg on my second tank full. This was on windy roads with many speed changes, hills, bumps, etc.. Really good break in roads. I kept the rpm's below 4500 per the manual and it would still pass cars easily. Oh, it's a 2012 35i.
