Cobra Time

Today was fitting day. After a few days of unseasonably warm and dry weather, it turned a little damp and colder.

Luckily it stayed dry and with Claire bringing the tyre in the car I took the motorway route. Amazingly, the amount of mud around the new junction wors  on the M20 and the road down to Kingsnorth covered a once clean under carriage. 

Once fitted I had a ride back. Luckily Pepé didn't need the dbPower to start at Laguna as he did first thing in the morning. 

With "miles to empty" showing 23 miles I decided to drip into Tesco just up the road.  The fuel station was packed with three or four cars queuing for each row of pumps.

I rode through and off to the M20 home.

With the gauge telling me in about three miles that the 23 had become 0 I decided to fill up. I went along the coast to Seabrook and filled up. Nought to empty meant I could only get a fraction over 17 litres into the 24 litre tank.

The first fill up since October! And a pissy 36 mpg.

Lovely. The old Metz lasted 7469 miles.
