I've done more than 10k. I wish I knew how much mileage I've done in total. A rough guess would be somewhere around 30k miles in all the cars I've had comined.

There's a petrol station close by which is usually cheaper than most places so I usually fill up for €15-€25 at a time. I find that easier on my wallet. :P

Ah ok I though it was just punto you were talking about. Ah Ye if your always close by a petrol station it's grand to buy it in smaller chunks plus as you said it's a more consistent amount of money all the time. How big is the tank in the punto 45L is it ?

Put nozzle in hole
Throw money at cashier
Start car
Something
Something
Wheeee

There we go, i just want to touch them

I can definitely say in my opinion that the UK motorways are quite different driving attitude wise compared to at home, nearly everybody I seen today was speeding and middle lane hoggers don't really exist. Traffic volumes are far higher and there is also more of a visible police presence on the roads.

More roadworks too and visible signs of them actually being old roads/overgrown signs etc

Actually speaking of the U.K. I'd love to do a road trip over there for a few days might try arrange it for next summer I'm sure a few of the lads would be interested. Do a bit of sight seeing and have the craic. Not even sure where it's worth going to or what's worth doing. I think I'd like to stick to some of the more countryside areas. My dad spends a lot of time in the uk and various other parts of Europe for work but he always comments on how most people drive at at least the motorway speed limit over there and normally higher.

If you're doing a trip like that, go to France instead, much more interesting, the are around Cherbourg like Normandy is class, great scenery and history.

Ye that would be good if I got the time could turn into a long weekend most likely though so uk would be better id imagine you would need at least a week for France plus I'm not sure about insurance. I don't think I will see too much holidays this summer which I'm not too bothered about I had a good lot of holidays through college. I can't go Christmas either as I'm in Dubai. I will definitely stick it on the list anyway.

Any insurance policy should cover you for around a month on Mainland EU, never heard of one that doesn't.

I got invited to drive to Italy and back in April. I think that the others would agree that France has some of the most spectacular driving roads imaginable. Fast sweeping smooth roads with excellent visibility. Just make sure you avoid the tolled motorways as much as you can. Absolutely no craic and you see nothing.

4 points gone at last! Clean licence for insurance renewal next month!

I always thought a 50kph zone was a bit too slow. Like you nearly have to come to a stop to get that slow.

I have another set that can handle any water, these aren't seemingly bad at all other than in very bad rain!
