At what speed though? I can manage 22 knots on a very good day ie. flat but most of the time I'm comfortable around 12-15. I wouldn't venture that far on my own anyway so I'll stick to more local marks for now 👍🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed the fix goes smoothly.

Geoff Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Look on the bright side - you saved a few bob on fuel. When I was recovered from Southampton to Lincolnshire by the AA it saved me about £50 in diesel. I hasten to add that was in my fiat Ducato campervan and not the RR.
