Antihero1981 8 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 well when i do take the vento out once a month , lol...she always gets redlined Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm lucky if mines out 6 times a year these days that busy with work commitments and other stuff. So mine gets redlined every time I drive it because I'm that happy to be out in her and by does she love it!!! Link to post Share on other sites
thesurgeon 51 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 No point having a quick car and paying top dollar for fuel if you don't 'give it some' sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Took a trip to leeds yesterday and did a few windows down tunnel runs Link to post Share on other sites
GPB_1 0 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm using my 4mo for my daily commute (75 miles each way) at the moment. Mostly motorway and dual carriage way, with the odd roundabout. Have found myself "driving" her enthusiastically a few times near those roundabouts, but then I look at the fuel gauge and calm it down a bit again. Link to post Share on other sites
bells 5 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Every time I drive it I have to redline it once or twice , having said that the mrs drives it a lot more than me , I only do about 5 to 10 miles a week Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 ah the fuel gauge that great spoiler of fun!Also if im trying to save fuel i leave the display on MPG makes me behave Link to post Share on other sites
SkippyVR6 1 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 pretty sure mine sucked up a quarter of a tank on the small drive to GSF today, definitly that 'Driving' thing haha. might try leaving the display on mpg like you say Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 My old 5 door got driven well every day.The only time I was actually concerned about fuel and pushing it, was trying to keep up with Craggsy, Martin, Sal and Tony on the way to Plymouth back in 2010 lol. No, no speeding, just making quick overtakes on the M5. Good old days. Link to post Share on other sites
