Just under a grand I think, didn't really budget for it. Could have been cheaper but thrashing it on the motorways/Autobahn really did eat fuel.

Around that amount, yeah.

Split one of the fuel lines coming down from the tank, but that's fixed now. It was a minor leak and drove over 800 miles with it ruptured.

Got her up to 124, only the gearing limiting it further, plus the temperature needle was visibly going up to over 100'c, so I lifted off at that point!
