Totally forgot the camera!
Left it in Manchester and went to the Isle Of Wight for the Xmas holiday.

Good news is that I have realised that the fuel tank is smaller than the
GT's and that so far I'm averaging about 28-33 miles to the gallon...which
is not bad considering the novelty-factor-driving-style coupled with snow
and traffic jams! My 156 V6 would only manage 20ish MPG driven similarly and
the G is seriously quicker :-))
