    Picked up the new T120 today, managed to put 140 on the clock on the B roads up the north east coast of England, computer said 68mpg but the old fashioned way was just over 65mpg, happy days. 700+ miles on the clock now, a 195 mile day out to the lakes and still 36 miles in the tank, 70.2 mpg and I was taking it up 5K+ through the box. Photos now in the Gallery pages
