I was very fortunate to avarage 43mpg in the W12 on the way home not bad at all.

On the down side i had the side of the Car swiped by a Loyds Coaches bus on Sunday while parked up... damaged both passenger rear door and passenger front

Guy, so sorry to hear that.
Lloyds drivers are usually careful in the roads they are used to, well they were when I was fully in the game. I used to drive 12.0 metre Van Hool coaches around the area and suppose I was lucky.
Hope that the damage is not too bad, can it be repaired, photos please.
I am taking our body man and his family to the airport on Thursday, should I threaten him with a Swindon detour?

Sorry to hear that Guy. I was almost expecting to get scraped on some of those narrow roads, but not whilst parked up.

Really sorry to hear that too. Presumably the coach driver stopped and its now with their insurance?
