I have been tracking this forum for ages, but have been too idle to register...
I drive a BMW 330d Touring (E46), which has been remapped and is reasonably brisk - and I still get 35+mpg overall. I hold the RoSPA Advanced Tutor grade and am currently Chairman of the Thames Valley Group. I am also a member of HPC and am hoping to take a Higher Award later this year.
None of this makes me anything other than an "advanced learner", so I am hoping to pick up all sorts of tips from others in this forum.
Recent cars driven include Bentley Continental (1991 vintage), BMW M5 (2001), Jaguar XJR (2007), Porsche Boxster (2008) and VW Polo (1997). The last is my wife's regular reality check!
