Lots of 100hp fun!

With my parents visiting for a week, I have been using the Panda a little more extensively than usual.  In fact, the day before they arrived I filled the tank with 41 euros worth of V-Power, which a mere 4 days later was all gone after 480km’s!  I was happy with that figure to be [...]
