...later we've still not opened the bonnet!



Was down in dublin this week




Where she met another 500 that seems to work hard for a living!



Still pretty amazed by it. Over the 68 hours of driving town and country, Rush hour and all the wee beast has stayed at a steady 44mpg and even thou it's one of the first RHD's down the line it's still not really had any problems!

Jim

should you not be checking the oil/water

Aye... It said something in the handbook about them!

Jim

Jim... check the oil, its not unusual for a brand new engine to use 1 litre in 1000 miles

I have opened out bonnet once. That was at 1000 miles, to check the oil. It was stil at Max

I'll open it again at 2000 miles to perform the same mighty task.

No, I just remembered, I also opened it to check the dowel-airbox-screw-thingy that was breaking on some cars. Ours is fine

Does your bum go numb on a long journey or have you gotten used to the lack of suspension now?

Cures for Sea sickness (mal de mer) being asked for by 500 drivers in France.:yuck:
The frenchy guys should try the ****ty roads in yorkshire.:devil:

Mmmm... it wouldn't really make you sick. Well, as long as you keep your eyes on the road... And it's only on roads like this...



Nice to know that the brakes are up to it, hehe



This is the worst one....



Ouch!

But as long as you stay on these type of roads then it's great.....



Can you tell that we were out today with the cars? LOL!

And yes, the oil is fine!
