Was it much hassle getting it in England?
None at all - I have family in Kent and went to their local dealer when I was over last May. This turned out to be the 'main' DTD dealer lol.
Using broker sites from now on for any more new cars I have the fortune to buy - its really no hastle for potential major savings.
Just got the ferry back. Bit of a long drive back but worth it (9hrs to Cairnryan).
That's interesting! I might consider doing that of I get another new car!
That's a long drive but sure it would've been run in nicely!

Just under 500 miles in 9hrs (long story but wasn't meant to be as intense a run in but to cut a long story short the weather cancelled a few ferries).

Sounds like a nightmare! I take it that was during the weeks of stormy weather?

It was indeed. Stressful with plans changing on a long trip I'd never done before but the car was excellent - even though I only stopped for just over half and hour during the whole 9 hours I didnt have nay aches or pains and felt quite fresh once I got to the ferry

That does sound stressful. I drive to Derry everyday and that's an hour and 15 each way, and the car is amazing.
The cruise control is brilliant for the Glenshane

Funnily enough I travel between Derry & Belfast once/twice a week. ACC is great for the bits of the road you know there are little/no overtaking opportunities (from the end of mway to Toome bypass etc...).
Glenshane is a breeze in the GTD - feels like its never going to run out of power blasting up the hill.

Well jealous Rossc0. I will be watching out for you in a few months then. Do you drive the M2 daily?


Very rarely up that way, I'm a north down boy

Must look out for you aswel. I tend not to fly to much on the glenshane now! I picked up some very nasty stonechips on my old car, including a cracked windscreen!
