Phah! I managed well over 10k in mine last year Frank, I'm sure it did both you and the car good to stretch it's legs a bit, builds confidence in the abilities as well.

Good on ya Newton.....

[dem maser]

Thats what i need to do newton, start driving it!!

2k a year is disgraceful.....

 

[Parisien]

Oh yeah..............flash back to the Hotel de Poste lunch in Corps, south east France....

After a nice main course, the stereotypical French waiter swans up to the table asking........


" Desserts, cafe.........?"

We answer......." Deux express et une Americano, s'il vous plait"

"D'accord"

5 minutes later......he comes back with 2 expresses and a cocktail...........also called an Americano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We argued the toss........as a non-drinker why would I start ordering a poncy cocktail at this stage of my life!!??

I insisted an americano was a coffee......he insisted its a cocktail...stale mate....but he took it away and reluctantly deducted it from the bill...of course depending on place and time an Americano is BOTH!!!!


See top right for my own satisfaction!
