A great drive today, I'm on holiday staying in Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast. Drove to Castle Howard (highly recommended if you like that sort of thing) near York, the A169 between Whitby and Pickering was brilliant, really enjoyed it. Not so much on the way back due to a campervan :rolleyes: but that was at least beneficial to the economy...

Replaced my spark plugs with OEM RS7 spark plugs made by NGK.  I was running Densos previously but APR recommend changing them every 10-12k miles so decided to splash about on these and run at manufacturer recommended intervals.

Thanks for that, I've heard it's a great road. Unfortunately I'm back home now :sad:

Just to add, 860 miles in the last few days, comfortably, fast on demand for easy overtaking and excellent economy. Exactly what I wanted :smiley:
