It took me 7 train changes and 6 hours to get to Chester from Surrey to pick up the #19 MCV from Richard Grace. Euston was shut so I had to switch train lines to Marylebone and then a sprint across Birmingham city centre to catch a train to Crewe. The trains were completely overcrowded so instead of a first class seat I ended up standing up in the aisle most of the journey. Finally arrived in Chester two hours late to pick up the car at the station and it was in perfect shape. Thank you Richard. 2 hold ups for accidents on the way home meant the journey was more than 6 hours, mostly in the dark. At least it meant that I got to understand how the car will behave in London traffic (not great) and also to appreciate the hard seats (little bit of back ache). Not the dream start I wanted...
But overall it was worth it and I'm looking forward to driving the car in better conditions this week.
Some quick observations (or is it just me?)
- decent amount of wind noise at high speeds from wing mirrors
- wing mirrors quiet small with bad blind spot on passenger side
- basic stereo speakers are pretty poor
- with auto on and sport off the car I would return the car
- car drives much better than my old GT and is as much fun as the GTS but less refined and sharper
