Re: Classic LeMans - DDK live thread
I must get one for those cards next time - on my own in a RHD car is pretty stressful - I do a launch across the passenger seat and out of the window with my debit card in my mouth
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

While doing that manoeuvre in my SC, I kept pushing the floor mat onto the throttle. Red-lining at the toll booth is not the best idea

Honestly? Just do it now, while you remember. It doesn't cost you anything in the months that you don't use it, at least not with Fulli. I think Emovis charges a yearly subscription no matter what.

Re: Classic LeMans - DDK live thread
We have used the EMOVIS tag for years on trips in the Boxster.
Great system and UK supply base. Cheap and straightforward.
Removing stress is worth every penny.
We now avoid motorway re-fuels and use local stations close to hotels for onward travel, and take a full can of 2 gallons in the boot too as we were very nearly caught out by a sudden fuel delivery dispute in France once.
Even the locals are perplexed by the auto systems and having to pay up front before fueling is bizarre...

Re: Classic LeMans - DDK live thread
Been decades since my last USA visit, and I never buy supermarket fuel for any of the 'fleet'.
