Tarka behaved perfectly, though the speedo is clearly wrong, showing some quite ridiculous velocities on the M3.
Why do I argue that the speedo is wrong?
How else could I have driven 95 miles on less than a quarter tank of fuel? That would be 32mpg and anyone knows that at 80 plus a Plus 8 uses more fuel than that, especially with the aircon on full!!

Great lunch, good company, brilliant car, glorious weather?
Perfect!


On the subject of inaccurate speedos, that raises an interesting point.. such emphasis is placed on a cars mileage nowadays. If the speed is running over by say 15% that would have a pretty noticeable affect on the odometer!
