The journey over.

Post by DiscoPol »

I was just cleaning out the phones memory and found these few pics from the overland we did to Poland a few weeks ago, thought I would stick em up for you guys to see and when i find my big camera i will post up the proper pics from the journey.

This one shows just how much stuff you can wedge in the back of a 406, also answered the question of what my 406 would look like lowered :shock: when the wife and i got in too she was really sitting low :oops:

Image

and this one's of the MFD with some cracking numbers on it, when you consider how full the car was it really makes me glad I went for the HDI, now you don't hear that very often :P

I have to say that was at Dover, by the time we had done France, Belgium, Holland and Germany it was down to a measly 57.7 mpg but all in all very happy with the consumption for a 1300 mile journey :D

Ive only managed about 52.3mpg back from Swindon when I first bought mine.

The misses, on our run from Bristol to Hull (M5, M42, A42, M1, M18, M62) the best we got was 52.4mpg, laden up.

I guess it all depends on the engine condintion, wind, temperature, traffic & driver!

Very impressive.
