Beautiful car, perfect for making good memories, such a pity Scotland isn’t fully accessible for you at the moment but you’re welcome back, in the meantime, fare thee well, return safe.

Back okay but would never attempt that distance again in a day Near miss with a pheasant in Kielder and what looked like a huge black ferret near Ripon - think it was a Mink. Had to give car a late bath - covered in salt - still got some snow on Kielder moors. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/03/02/90AFA0EF-1769-4170-B41B-ACEB9C09E340.jpg)

So Mr Clipper, what everybody wants to know is, which seats do you have and what does your backside feel like after that little trip!

Now I know I won't be spending eternity in a Northumbrian moorland peat bog - I can relax a bit into it - just had a tootle to Aldi
Seats base is firm but I find them comfortable enough and it's got a tilt and also one of those lumbar pumps so back okay after 300 miles.
You do seem to sit a bit higher than the Plus 4 - I'm 5' 8" so fine but if much taller - you would have to check it for size. - plenty of leg room though.
Car is rock solid - like driving a quality modern car & looks great in the flesh - no niggles or squeaks thus far. Not much noise though - S5 is sulking in the garage but would miss those looks and V8 rumble so not going anywhere.
With the Plus 4 - if you got up to 70 you would know it and with the S5 there is always the noise and when you press the loud pedal - a slight pause (might not be pressing too hard) before the grunt kicks in and you know the speed is coming, but the acceleration on the Plus 6 is liquid - you can be from 55 to 75 without realising.
Not had a speeding ticket for a long time - will have to watch it.
I did get some twitchiness on a roundabout though and I can imagine how it could go wrong quickly.

YES! Collected today from dealership. 60 mile journey unfortunately took 105 miles oooops. So so so much fun. Weather crap, car caked in mud but I have sunshine in my heart...may try and post piccy or two once I’ve reminded myself how to, but she is bloomin’ lovely. No rain came in which was a shock and the wipers clear the water (only in one direction but that’s one direction more than happened with Flo) so I could actually see where I was going...heater worked v well as did heated windscreen when needed. Auto gearbox great, car v quick when required, suspension stiffer than expected but more comfy than trad version and coped v well with potholes and speed bumps. Heavenly times... Am back officially in the TM gang - huzzaaaaahhhhhhhh Parp parp 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/02/18/315B1611-1824-4416-8F2B-8D97970557B3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/02/18/6B46C5AF-6C44-466F-87D7-FD80F8391244.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/02/18/85C7B39F-B84D-41C7-9031-90C69095C3DC.jpg) HB Now that is a nice colour.
