Thumbs up Long distance trip

Just back from another long driving trip, Weymouth to Ayrshire and back plus a couple of hundred miles around Scotland. The 75 really is an amazing distance driver.

Really comfortable and quiet at motorway speeds, sitting at 90mph is very smooth indeed

Looking forward to my next trip in December. 173k on the clock now and still going very well. Don't do a lot of miles in Guernsey so getting off the island is always nice, even nicer knowing I am taking the 75 with me

The Mrs was sceptical when I bought the car but now concedes it is excellent for our long holiday trips.

They really are great for the long distance trip. Ive taken mine up to the Highlands 5 times now, each time towing a teardrop trailer and never had a problem. The last trip covering 1600 miles.

I'm back up there this October for another road trip and looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the ride

No doubt about that, a 3 to 4 hour motorway stint is no problem, eats the miles with ease and with the double din there is a never ending choice of music to hand. Can't wait to get the 75 away again. Will be booking for December when the new ferry timetable is out on Monday :0)
