That’s great Jason.
You have a well specced car too. If I had realised I would be keeping my car much longer than I ever planned I would have specced up quite a bit.
I always remember the advice “ once you have bought something you forget how much it cost but you live with the decisions you made”
For a start I think I would have specced Arts Velour.
But as a former PM was fond of saying “we are where we are” and it’s still a great car. A keeper I think.

Nice…….and very strategic parking!

That was my first thought. Looks like the best - and safest space in the car park and the one I would have chosen too :smiley:.

@Watts - you can’t beat a bit of fresh air and a few good beers!

I would have parked in exactly the same spot.

That's right SR, and I made the most of it too! And the fresh air...

I would have parked in exactly the same spot.

There was one other really good spot in a corner where due to the angles of the kerbs, you got about an extra half of a space and no passing traffic. But being able to keep an eye on it from our B&B room was great!

Risk of being backed into there- which you’d have been able to watch from your room window 😂.

I’d always go end space tight to the white line.

That was my second favourite space behind the corner one!

On a different note, 43ish mpg so far and at low ambient temperatures was pretty good but it has been steady driving. About 530 miles so far on this trip, London-Blackpool-Yorkshire-Norfolk, back to London on Saturday. Great driving, comfortable, fast and economical. The drive over the moors from Haworth to Hebden Bridge on the A6033 was stunning. The A1 and A17 today less so...

That’s great Jason.
