You will need...

1 x denttastic £140 ebay special 730i e32 with optional "moonmiles" pack fitted

£10 in the smallest denomination coins you can get (may be able to change notes into coins at a "bank"

Nothing else worth doing on a sunday.



Method

Drive 730i til small yellow "girotime" light comes on.

Attend local ciggy retailers (they also handily have petrol...)

Procure £10 worth of petrol (approx 11.12l @89.9p/l (2.45 gal)

Reset trip meter, and then start to drive

Take in a mixture of "estate" work- remembering to keep the car idling incase the filth catch ya dealing

and motorway work- include ill thought out overtaking and 3 lane crossings

Return "da gang" to the yoof centre, and head to your "penthouse"

Observe that 60.2 miles have passed, and girolight is still to re-appear.

wallow in joy and cider with the knowledge you got 24.57mpg out your 730i this week :cool:

you must be the only west coaster then to have never drank buckie. i heard you can get it on prescription anywhere west of harthill services. although sarcasm can be good i personally prefer the up front 'poke em with a stick' method :D
