Fuel Economy Run : Due to bad weather was moved today...

For the 1st time Braddies out numbered javlins...great stuff ..thu some wouldnt agree lol.
As far as a serious fuel economy run...forget it lol..It was just another fun day out...Ken Brownlie has the fastest Braddy..except up steep hills, but more than makes up for it down hill, and just, on the flat...
At the 1/2 way piont, Ken is concerned about being zapped by a speed camera on the motorway!!! lol
I came in not much slower over all, And John and Joan haulling up the rear.
So with Ken and I, pretending to keep up with the Javalins and Jupiters, The others in our dust...at the end of the Day, the Bradfords won..all within about 32 to 34 mpg and the others not far behind.
Who won...Who cares lol?..the Braddies stuck it to the rest, and everyone had a ball.

Thanks to Allen and Barbara for organising and great day out...again
