My boat took over 30days. Although it did change schedule and went to Emden in Germany and then bremahaven and Zeebrugge. 9 days since arriving at Southampton aswell.
Once you get to 195 ask for a vir check and you should be able to work out what boat your on. From there be prepared to bore yourself silly tracking it lol!!!

Picked mine up today. Loved the 25mile journey home. Hard not to push it hard, but you can feel how much power the car has. The photos definitely do not do the car justice, brooklyn grey is darker in the flesh.

I need to sit and work out id8. Long journeys planned for this weekend so will try to learn how to use it to full potential.

Car had 12 miles on the clock. Believe this to be normal.

Congratulations, hoping to pick mine up this week too.
Did you win the tyre lottery?

Just been to see mine coming off the truck, Michelins fitted too. Little M clips on the rear calipers missing though.

Cheers for that. I’ve been at 165 for 25 days now and getting ever more frustrated waiting!

[mpcook1979]

I've done over 120 miles in the car now and I have no complaints yet.
Last car was a golf r 7.5 and it is so much more premium.
Very pleased with brooklyn grey. You do see heads turning and I had 2 guys come over at the petrol station today asking what car it was. They were very impressed.

Hey,

Well I drove it back from the dealership yesterday and it's got 79 miles with me coming back from there and odds of random driving around my city so not driven it properly. I'm going to the Scottish Border with my buddy at the weekend and that's when I'll be having my fun

Thanks, they're some of the best roads I've driven on to be honest. What are you getting in terms of MPG or have you not pushed it yet?

I keep telling myself I'll be able to keep within the running-in service parameters, but we'll see how true to that I am when I get on to those roads!

Do you have any fun road driving planned?

Too early to tell really, haven't pushed it hard.
I have 2 long journeys planned Saturday and Sunday mainly motorway, so will give an idea what to expect.
Keep us posted on your trip next week.
