Stu's 2010 Gran(d) Tour

[Budapeststu]

Stu, what a difference...Can you see you fuel consumption going down with more blips of the throttle.

Ironically the fuel consumption on the way back from the UK was quite okay, probably 1 or 2 mpg better than I got before, though that could have been down my speed being curtailed by thousands of Dutch caravaners.

that's fantastic, add that to my wishlist

Hi Easyplan, this is the must-have upgrade for any 4200. I can't tell you the difference it made to my car, amazing!

Welcome to the forum by the way. I hope your first year of Maser ownership is as enjoyable as mine has been.

Thanks, you may recall that you sent me the details of your car when you were going to sell it but I was after a cambriocorsa. Your car looks fantastic by the way. Wish it was me planning a trip, hopefully next year I will get to the alps.

Oh yes, Hi Andrew. Glad to see you found your dream car in the end. I have to say I'm very happy I decided not to sell in the end.

I have to get to Stelvio or one of the other famous roads soon. I might even try for the road in Romania, the one featured in the last serious of TG.

Try not to follow their route exactly, between horses and carts, wooden bridges and dead ends at dams.........it looked a bit of a nightmare...

Stelvio..one of the roads that you have to do before you die...Did it in a Lotus a number of years back..Stunning.

I'd love to do that run under the people's palace and of course I'd HAVE to download the iphone app that measures decibels... The missus asked me to pick up some mineral water on the way home from the gym last night. Took me an hour for some reason and I don't remember it usually requiring me to cross the Danube twice...
