Had a busy day on Saturday.
Early evening we went to Slough to pick up the Audi. As luck would have it, the north bound M1 was closed just south of Bedford and all the alternative routes had massive queues, luckily we were headed south but still very busy. Picked up the Audi dreading the return trip and avoiding as much M25/M1 as poss but by the time we joined the M1 at J12, it had cleared.
In the early afternoon the guy came to pick up the Dax. He and his friend had driven up the 300 miles, from where they live in Cornwall, handed over the cash, had a cuppa and then squeezed his rather large frame into the rather small driver's seat, knees touching the steering wheel and shoulder pressing on the side screen. Stuck his space age helmet on and at about 3:00 set off on the 300 mile journey home.
It's always a worry, when selling anything that it'll be OK and cars are the worst. I'd have had no qualms about undertaking the trip but there's always that nagging feeling when it's someone else, especially as he was driving it for the first time.
Anyway, the relief came via email on Sunday night. The aux light is the indicator tell-tale. Tyres are 888s :
got back home last night at 2230hrs , car was superb really impressed , I thought it would be like a go kart i.e. it would seem to be going faster than it actually was but it was the opposite , I found that what seemed to be 70mph was 90 + !
will be changing the tyres this week as they don't work to well when the temp drops , I had one strange thing an aux green light flashed a few times but hasn't done it today , did this happen to you ?
the wife is impressed when we went to Looe today and lots of people like the car.
Phewww!
have a bacon buttie to celebrate
