This is going to be interesting. 5 people plus about 12 cases of wine, 1.3 mulitjet engine and the Montagne de Reims to climb. I wonder if it'll be as slow as my Mother in Laws Mk1 Renault Scenic 1.6? That thing wouldn't get above 40:eek: .

"Mulitjet" Jeeezus I've got to watch my typing.
 
You'll do it! ;) Have Faith! Although you'd be speeding past that Renault with a 1.9JTD!

Oh and don't worry about your spelling: we all mkae slliy seplilng msitakes but as lnog as the frist and lsat letrtes are the smae it dsoen't mttaer cuase you can sitll wrok it out!
 
Hmmm, looking like 17 cases now. 1 for the neighbour, 1 for the friends and 1 for the osteopath (better keep him sweet - he could hurt me - I mean SERIOUSLY hurt me), 7 for the mother in law and 7 for us. Good job I took the rear seats out.
 
Made it!

17.5 cases at 10 kilos each on the return trip. Over 1000 miles with an average mpg of about 50. Not bad for a 1.3 diesel.:worship:
