Bring on the next meet. And unless i've worked it out wrong. I got a whopping 30mpg out of it round trip. I'm gonna sit down and work it out each way. Down on 413 box and back on rock lobster.

£85 on fuel. Got 24mpg going down and 38mpg on the return leg!

I like that alot!

It drove so well back up. Just sat at about 60mph. Plenty of power now in all gears, 5th is even useable now.

That is an incredible improvement, almost can't believe it. you will probably earn the cost of the rocklobster back in fuel savings :D
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

I didn't do too bad in the end, think it cost me about £45-50 in fuel so I'm pretty happy with that!

However about 1-2 miles from home my clutch started slipping :hahaha: thank fuck it didn't happen on the way there or half way back!!!!

Awesome weekend! good to catch up with everyone and meet a few new forum members!

Roll on the next meet! Will start a new thread in the gallery tomorrow for pics if someone doesn't beat me to it.

It was nice to meet and chat with some of you guys at Billing, hopefully it might inspire me to get mine back on the road again.
I was a little dissapointed with the size of the show, but I guess its fairly new so it may need to get established.
After talking to you I discovered the guys from Bulgaria on the forum (must have missed this in february) so have said hello to them.
As discussed I am thinking that I might ???? at some point try to drive the Suzuki over to our property in Bulgaria, but it would be a hell of a drive !!! and I am not sure that either the suzuki or me are up to it.
