TOOO much luggage.

 

[Denali]

Thats because my husband takes too much stuff. If it wasnt for him, 3 weeks with carry on only is easy for me.

By JessicaTam, these things are quick. 0-100km in under 5 secs.

Like try this - press the accelerator to to floor and read aloud

“Set the navigation to the heart of the sun
Set the speed limiter to 61!”

And you are now hitting the limiter at 62mph.

Faaaaa......r*. It’s wonderful.

The torque vectoring also makes the thing handle like a go cart. Brilliant.

And luggage fits perfectly!

How long did it take you to get the Qantas Product placement tags all lined up? We travel with one ‘smallish’ hard suitcase each and a backpack these days.

And, and! I know about the touch door opening in the Jags but never knew about the touch locking. Discovered that leaning on the driver’s door handle waiting for MrsTMA outside Boots in Kelso.

Quite neat. One never need to take the key out of your pocket, unless you wish to also engage the second lock level of the deadlocks.

Excellent.

 

[Denali]

Yeah but dont put the key on a carabiner and attach that to Mrs handbag... and then she gets out of the car while you drive off.

Or as my hubby found out about 10mtrs from the village bakery when he dropped me off and drove off, car warning lights up that its about to stop.

But that what the back seat is for - overflow and extras, like shopping

Your autocorrect is totally screwed!

 

[TheRealTMA]

Your autocorrect is totally screwed!

No no, not wanting to use a religious term, I asked autocorrect for a named driving deity, and that’s what I got!

I think I have met JohnK's worst nightmare.A feminist Greek historian.Apparently the lads had nothing to do with the advances made in Greece back in the day.

shouldn't that go in the moggie thread

 

[Denali]

My husband still talking about the Jag. Apparently if we win lotto....

 

[VPS]

Not in a rush as not heading over until mid August. That would be awesome to know where to avoid

Apologies - Just realised I didn't get back to you on this. Are you all sorted for accommodation?

Yeah, all good thanks. Only PITA was Edinburgh as we are there for the Military Tattoo and the prices were massively jacked up

If you haven't booked yet, I could try get you a room on my corporate rate if that's of help?

Yeah booked already, thanks for the offer.
Swings and roundabouts I suppose as we saved a heap of money on other hotels thanks to the Accor sales and a few other promos
