My new car was a joy to drive all the the way there and back, the trip down was 70% motorway and 30% twisty mountain roads. The car cruises along effortlessly on the motorways but as soon as I hit the twistie's my 2 passengers started maoning
The trouble was that even with lots of luggage and 3 men in the car it still wanted to glue itself to the road around hairpin bends. With the sports button on I wanted to go faster and faster and have fun but all the luggage kept hitting my 2 mates
so they weren't impressed but hey what can you do
When we got there I parked her up and left her there all week apart from a visit for some photo's with (under) the snow. At the end of the week we went to de-snow and ice her only had a few normal problems like the doors not opening because mini windows drop as you open it but when they are frozen solid then they dont drop, which means and cant get in
But once past those few problems it started fine (sounded rough) and deforted the windows in no time so we were all ready for the next days drive home.
The drive home was all on toll roads which was very comfortable and very fast
(legal limit
). It is very very easy to go fast in this car before you know it your doing 110mph without even relising it, luckily the brakes are good so you get back down to the speed limit just as quick
So I had a great drive there and back and am loving my car
It's a bit of a mess but nothing a hover and wash won't sort out.
Oh and I also had fun sking btw
