The engine of my green Peugeot cut out, half way to Bristol.
Called out the rescue....
Who towed me to my local garage.....
Who pronounced.......
And so, dear reader, off to the recyclers.
I've pressed the Mazda project into service. Still a work in progress, but road legal.
I hadn't quite appreciated that MX5's are thirsty. Or rather I did, but it only really sank in as I drove around over the past few days. I could almost see the fuel gauge moving downwards.
32mpg compared with 55mpg for the Peugeot.
I've temporarily addressed the problem by reducing the number of unnecessary excursions.
Some pondering on this to be done, though. A lot, really.
We shall see.
