I switched my gas, electricity and phone suppliers today. I shall be saving more than £800 per year on gas & electricity and an unbelievable £800pa on my phone & broadband. Surely this must be close to a record! A good evening's work, I think.
I would encourage others to do the same.

That's just increased your annual Elan budget spend by £1600.
Now what goodies shall I have..........

Yes it is, but nevertheless the wording just tickled me.

That Odometer reading is fun but quite sad really. The guy had to monitor it like a hawk in order to make sure he could reset the trip to O at the correct mileage so that he could then catch it so perfectly. 10/10 for both mathematics and having his head up his arse!

None taken!

TBH I'd only give it 8 or 9/10 for the maths - I mean who can't work out 56-12.5, and stop from any speed in 1/10 of a mile?!?
It would've been better if I'd managed 123.4, but I was convinced if I didn't do something with the trip counter someone would criticise. Damned if you don't, damned if you do!

I tried something similar on my GT, then realised I forgot to reset the odometer.

I also missed the 150000 this week, cruising up to Cologne at over 120mph, looked down and noticed it had happened a few miles earlier. Autobahns are hell

Where were you?
I work at Liege Airport and believe me it is not pretty, Limburg is nice though.

Probably the best personal plate I've ever seen - I had to get a pic of it!
