I changed from PNG to JPeg but both have the same result and the Jpeg is even smaller!

..nice bit of investigation Mick... and I chose the volvo inspite of a blue e-type Jag which also had the correct ending on the reg plate. I remember one time a group of German motorists on a tour of the UK pulled in at a local pub carpark as we were passing. There were about 4 of 5 Porsches and a cream volvo amazon estate. I was totally uninterested in the Porsches and spent some time talking about and nosing around the Amazon with the driver.

63,648→64,456=808 (taken from Odometer when I bought it on July 31th).

Due to embarrassing ineptitude with the trip meters there is nothing to show there. One shows 125 and the other about 400.

Did well over 100 today, probably the 125 as above, wandering around County Durham trying to find my way home.

Brilliant trip meters, show all sorts of useless and useful information but rarely do what I expect them to.

A musical interlude for the leaf this month. If you know your Class 37's Locomotives you will realise the appropriateness of Kenneth Mckellars debut on the thread as the Leaf odometer ticked over to 37692.



So thats the Leaf dealt with onto the Micra.
