And done it. (y)

On our Volvo, the cars onboard cameras read road signs, and the speed limiter can either be set to a certain speed, or react to the road signs. I was dubious about the whole thing, but having tried it properly, its a fantastic system. Strangely it cant be used with the adaptive cruise control...

Gutted for you. Probably a long long wait for a replacement. What a lousy start to the year.

Wont be a next time. I loved my Shogun, but then had forgotten what driving can be like. The new machine is a beast.

All sold now!

Just popped in to say Happy New Year to you all, then Im off to play with my new toy which arrived yesterday. Hope you all stay safe in 2022 and enjoy your caravanning. For us, Im more convinced than ever that we have made the right decision.

I would have just said Bah Humbug and left it at that. ;) Seriously though, Merry Christmas y'all.

Oh boy, just had the insurance quotes for the new Volvo. My Shogun, £289 per annum. Volvo £571 per annum. I knew I shouldnt have mentioned Polestar. At least its cheaper than the Grocklebox. Handy hint. Compare the Meerkat is way more expensive for the exact same policy than Money Supermarket...

I liken it to this, I have sold a tin box, built by people that couldnt care less, have even less ability, and no concern for the end user. Backed up by customer services that prefer to treat you as a minor annoyance. I pay a fortune to insure it, a fortune in fuel to tow it, and a fortune to...

None of that Gucci clobber for me, nor Brillcream, I worked for a living. ;)

With a 0-60 in 4.8 secs, pushing just over 400bhp, turbo charged AND supercharger plus Polestar, I will leave the traffic light grand prix for those with a similar name :D Its no fun picking on babies. No doubt I will spend most of my time stuck behind caravans ;)

I have to admit I have loved and still do love the Shogun, but they are dated now as you know, its time for some luxury, and real horsepower. Staying as safe as I can, as we all are. Good grief, what times we live in.

Im sure it will sell, mostly its brand new, some of it gone already and I only stuck it up for sale this morning.

Well Hutch, you never know, if there is one near us again, we would love to come and put names to faces and glasses to lips.
