I'm off up to Inverness with the 'van in July - approx. 350 miles including a nice long drag through the Highlands on the A9

Sorry if i souded patronising, didn't mean to be. As i've got a back problem my foot can get numb so having cruise was a nessesity rather than a "goodie"

My post was only ment to say what a good & stable tow car the 75 was.

Really hope you enjoy & have a good break.

Again so sorry if i've offended it wasn't my intention.

Regards

No worries - no problem Paul
I must admit there are times when I wish I DID have cruise control - the aforementioned ankle isn't as supple as it used to be
Once you are retired, the ability to go whenever you please with the 'van makes a huge difference. We spent 4 days in the Scottish Borders recently, when all the kids were at school - the site was brilliant - peaceful, quiet, full of like minded wrinklies like me and SWMBO
Caravanning and retirement were just meant to go hand in hand.
We're off for another 5 days week after next (i.e. AFTER the schools have gone back!) and then 3 weeks in July (BEFORE the schools break up!).
I notice in your profile that you're about to retire.
From personal experience, (I stopped working (well,for money anyway!) 2 years ago), the biggest problem with retirement is finding time to do all the things you didn't have time to do when you were working

Enjoy your hard earned leisure time - lets just hope for some Summer sunshine
