utterly random picture thread.

I think this is a record!

Just under 60mpg on this morning's commute... In a car that weighs 5004lb (according to the app).

You might have got even more if you'd reduced drag by taking the PRIDE flags off!

I still resented the tax, but 73mpg was pretty decent....until my wife crashed it with less than 100 miles on the clock

So that mpg figure was for running-in miles?

I don’t think cars need “running in” these days.
Certainly not company cars that get given back every year.

FWIW, I knew a guy who kept meticulous fuel and mileage records. He bought a new BMW K75S, mpg gradually improved and only levelled out after 15,000 miles.

I asked the dealer when I picked up my car a couple of weeks ago.

"Not really" was the answer

It does have some guidance buried deep deep in the user menus but you have to properly go looking for it. Don't bounce off the rev limiter during the first 1500km is as far as it goes.

It may be different for cars vs. bikes, but the last new bike I bought (KTM Duke 690 2017 MY), during the 'break in' phase, if you went above a certain rev limit the LED tacho bar turned red. Quite disconcerting the first time it happened. So I had to keep trying to see if it would do it again...

A mate that lives over the way (a couple of mountains over!) put this on my FB after a conversation of having to help the French learning English understand some of our phrases!!

I'm looking forward to sharing it with some French friends tomorrow
