It’s a great way to familiarise ourselves with the new car Iain. It’ll see St. Andrews, the Cairngorms, Skye, Ullapool, Loch Ness and Glen Coe if everything goes to plan.Mr Tidy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:01 pmThat sounds like a great weekend - enjoy.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:54 pm Fortunately for us, yes we’re still able to make a weekend of it the Covid restriction extension only effects England, we’re still mainly following our route plan.

I have found it quite hard going, particularly when we’ve had a spell of really good weather.

Needs to slow down near me, Ribble Valley was always one of the lowest rates in NW England due to population demographics, now we are 2nd highest rate the the UK, many of the pubs and hotels are closing due to track and trace incidents caused by workers or visitors from surrounding areas. I might be double jabbed but my trips out in the sunshine won't involve stopping off for a pint for while.

I'm so tempted to head to Scotland for a driving trip, and you really aren't helping!
Iain.

WJK made very minimal changes, it was more that certain areas with higher infection rates, didn’t drop down to their proposed levels.
That’s not so good about your area being on the increase, as you say most likely being caused by people coming into the area from outside

Completely biased but I honestly think if the weather’s good there’s not many better places to be for a road trip
I do know that’s not made it any better and I would imagine my posts when I pick it up won’t help either
There is alway the forum NC500 you could sign up to

And that's why WJK should be closing the M6 north of Penrith, there's no doubt the "Delta" variant came into the UK via towns such as Bolton and Blackburn and it's spread at an alarming rate outwards.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:35 pm That’s not so good about your area being on the increase, as you say most likely being caused by people coming into the area from outside

The weather will hopefully only be a temporary blip and still allow you to enjoy the car and get the roof down
Remember, lots of pictures of it are required, we are a nosey bunch and love seeing a new car!!!

I must admit that it's taking some getting used to as it drives as differently to my 630d GT as it's possible to get. It's far more skittish and nervous and the tech is far more complicated for an oldie like me

It looks lovely and some sunshine to go with it.
Funny, I found it more planted but that’s me comparing it to a 35iS and not a 630
Re the tech, did you get sent anything electronically by the dealer to explain it all? I’m asking because I did this morning, along with the invoice balance and can send you that to peruse at your leisure
