Mini road trip.
Well here we are in the Ramada hotel off the M6 toll road after an effortless trip down from Aberdeenshire. Very light traffic most of the way and a steady 65-70 mph. As usual, a meagre return of 42 mpg, but offset by another brilliant run. This cat is just so very good on the motorway. A short hop down to Surrey tomorrow after a hearty breakfast, in time to catch the tennis final and the German GP.

Nice 2 hour 20min trip down the M40. Pity about the snarl up on the M25, which cost us a little bit more time but with A/C on full blast, it wasn't such a big hardship. The mpg came down to 42, thanks to some spirited driving on the M40.
