A mileage reset starting at the top of the mountain. Frankie
Bloody green with envy

I can vouch for Dave, definitely driving but as he said he was bimbling along. BIMBLING what a word I think I'll use that more often Thanks @billz
There were a lot of roadworks on the motorway so we were only doing 70kph for quite some time. I knew it was doing well cause the petrol gauge hardly moved. I was surprised to see 52.3 when we stopped though. I think it's a lot less now after having some fun over the passes.

I get that on my Cruzes...Glad your both having a good time.
I think you could divide by 10 to get your cruz average Jim.

That would be more like it David, ive been in the car with him, it's terrifying!Maybe it was 25.3?
Great day today, Dave was a happy bunny, found it a bit scarey at times. 
I am now cooked nicely, how come it doesn't matter where you plaster the sun cream you always get burnt
Trying for a record of top down driving through all the passes so I'll be the lobster in the Zed next time we meet up lol

Another great top down day today from Switzerland to Italy.
Although when it got to 35 degrees in the town with no breeze I did think for a moment to put the roof up and aircon on. Managed to resist, so still have a 100% record of top down whilst this side of the channel. Only 170 miles today but lots of twisty turney stuff. Lost count of the number of hairpins we went round. We went over the Furkapass, Oberalpass, Lukmanierpass, St. Bernadino Pass and finally the Splurgen Pass. The scenery is fantastic, photos don't do it justice. We're here for a week now so some rest days coming up.

Certainly can Paul, possibly on your South Downs cruise. Sorry I meant 'like minded owners having a drive together'.
@Steven Bostock, done that a few times myself so no, no and no again. I'll stay here if it's all the same to you.Ah sounds fantastic all that great scenery and plenty of twisties
