gm Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Finally made it home - waze was very keen that I use the a68 but I hate driving it at night so ignored its advice and ploughed on down the a1. to discover that it’s bloody closed at Berwick and I had a massive bloody diversion to do now first impressions of the car are good, there’s a few wee bits to attend to - I suspect a minor exhaust leak as when the car is stationary, it quickly fills with stinky diesel fumes. and thanks to whatever random debris I ran over in the road, there’s an under tray hanging loose now. but it goes well, is comfortable and, most importantly, does this : thats double what i was getting with the Saab Cavcraft, dome, Split_Pin and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Yep, the mpgs are what tempted me to one of them. If sellers had answered my messages we could've been civic buddies! Yon kebab shop is very good and serves a decent weissebier, not as good as I had in Munich last weekend though! gm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks for the offer, I’ve got a pair of ramps, just need some time to get stuck in and have a go. It’s going to need the tracking looking at too, the front tyres both have worn outer edges - not a problem as I have a set of winter tyres to go straight on once it’s done.

gm Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 I taxed this at lunchtime and got the confirmation email straight away but it is still showing up as not taxed after my run in with the law on Sunday, I decided not to use it today just in case and took the mazda instead - two minutes into my journey I drove right past a traffic police car hiding in the slip road. How long does it usually take to filter through the system ? Obviously the change of owner has gone through straight away for it to show as not taxed but I did the two things at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
