Hey Guys
Just so we can let everyone know how passionate we are about our scorpio's, evryone who turned up should post to this thread what the distance was they travelled to get to the meeting on sunday.
I personally done a 450 mile round trip, so come guys and girls start reading those trip meters and lets show how far we would all go to have a good day out in our scorpio's.
Here's to you guys

Hi Fitzy
What a good idea.Then maybe it could be added together.How long before you "c**kneys" (won't let me write it,calls you "thingyneys!!!!) start running a "book" on it?!!!Put me down for a "monkey" on 2000 miles.Leave it out,strike a light,apples and pears......!!
By the way 22 miles round trip,i tell you,had to stop off twice,i was cream crackered,nearly fell asleep!!
Regards
Kev

Hi Dave
My total for the round trip was some what less then your's, because I didn't go by the M6 348 ish. I didn't put my trip-meter on until A13 Thurrock. See you soon M8

Hi. 22 miles eh kev? no wonder you organised the event. Maybe scorpio man will organise the next one and he can get his own back on you. Anyway to join the bandwagon my 24v ultima did a rond trip of 44 miles and averaged 24.7 mpg with the a/c on. Well done again m8 for a brill day
Cheers Nick

435 miles for me. I think that's what it was anyway. Will have to check my other posting in the thank you section.
Air-con was also on all day and we got 27.6 mpg. Not fantastic, but sometimes we may have crept over the speed limit, ever so slightly. Especially on the way home eh Fitsy?

Hi Paul
It wasn.t me driving it was Angie i had me eyes closed most of the time, was feeling rather tired, when i did open them i noticed she was doing nearly 100 mph so fuel consumption was well out the window, but at least no toilet breaks on the way home. A38/M42/M40/M25/M23 was shorter than journey up.

I wondered if you might have dropped off. Maddy did eventually.
As you say, no more bog-breaks, but it felt longer to me somehow. Maybe it was all the roadworks & stuff. I kind of got held up at the end of those, and had to do the ton to catch up again!
All the best Dave.... Paul

Hi Guys
Back home now but couldnt tell you how many miles or MPG because I kept on blowing fuses and my clocks were reset each time but. It was a great day.
So back in my garage now tomorow night to try and find the fault. OH I can tell you it took me 6 hours to get back home and 11 Fuses. Not bad for a 3 and a half hour drive err.

Hi Guys,
My journey was about 630 miles and averaged just over 29 mpg. I did go via Southampton from Edinburgh though so not sure if that counts!! Thanks again to Kevin for a great day, good to meet all the owners and I'm sure that I'll meet up with Scorpio-man over in Glasgow at some stage.

Eh you right there Bertie (Simon)
Talk about pass the white stick and mind my labrador, and if it hadn't been for those traffic light next to the pub, and all those familiar rear's facing the road,( the Car's ) before you start, we may have sailed straight passed it again. Still it wouldn't have been much fun going straight there. You would have missed all that lovely scenery. Hope to see you at Harewood M8.
