davepink53 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well our first long run was quite successful. My wife loves the Avanti and doesn't like to let me drive much. We done 563 miles (906 klm) without a problem Tried it out on a quiet back road up to 100 mph and it handled like a dream. Averaged 17.6 MPG (UK gal) Not as good mpg as my '53 Champion but I am sure this car will be used a lot more. Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish us well. Dave. All of us around the World wish you well and a sucessful trip. Having traveled to Australia and visted Melborn, I suggest before your trip, during the packing and preparation phase, dont forget your Vegamite!! sorry if I missed the spelling.
