What meet? When and where?

I'm heading to Galway on Friday for a secret mini meet.

Excuse light exposure. Not bad for 30 yoyos

As much as I hate to say it but mine is pretty much the same. The back seats consist of hoodies, runners, empty water bottles and some very light rubbish. I never notice it myself until I actually open the back door to put something in and I see jackets and hoodies that I've been looking for the week before :pac:

Filled the car last night for the first time in forever. Diesel for 120.8, how could you not (Applegreen 125.8 with 5c/L discount using the 3+ app)

Also hilariously, passed a garda speed van on the way into Dublin around Lucan, usual spot. I spotted it a mile off, the mini that overtook me doing about 120 didn't have as good eyesight :pac: He nearly pulled a stoppie when he finally saw the van almost parallel with it

Was looking for something in the car there and only then discovered actually how much clothing is in it 4 coats and a few jumpers too probably in it for month and never thought anything of it it's amazing how stuff builds up and you never notice. You should see the glove box it's a joke you can barely close it.

All I have in my glovebox is my insurance cert, log book, a couple of empty envelopes, tablet and aux cable. :P

I thought your E46 was 2.0 petrol. :eek:

Last time I filled the tank was August 2013 :eek: That said, I track everything using Road Trip, so I know exactly how many litres of fuel was used since then (19,500 miles). It's like the most accurate fill to fill ever :pac: 42.3 MPG over 2 years isn't too bad, particularly as I don't exactly have a light foot

Also fuel is the best price it's been in the last 4 years. (The massive spike was when I was in the UK)

That's not too bad for a 320d. I'm tracking mine with fuelly and im getting 49 mpg average which is atrocious enough for a diesel megane I kind of feel like I'm at nothing with these smaller Diesel engine the next will definitely be 2.0tdi might not be better on mpg but won't be a whole lot worse and your getting more power. Getting insurance on a 2.0 would have been a struggle this time but once I have another years experience I should be ok then. Although I'm not sure as the megane is growing on me slowly we will have to wait and see. I'd like to of kept it 2-3 years to get my money's worth but realistically won't happen :pac:

Well if I drove sensibly (as I have done a few times in the past) I know I can get 48MPG out of it. I got 55MPG over in the UK, but I think thats a mix of better fuel and better roads.
