2500 miles in 2 weeks...

[dylanp]

Took the 5Exi for a 'quick' spin over the last couple of weeks...

Here's what we did:
- London - Newcastle
- Ferry to Gothenburgh (sweden)
- Gothenburgh to Stockholm
- Stockholm to Malmo
- Malmo to Copenhagen (Denmark)
- Copenhagen to Hamburg (Germany)
- Hamburg to Amsterdam
- Amsterdam to Calais
- Ferry to Dover
- Dover to London

Very happy to report that during the 2500 miles the car didn't miss a beat.. Absolutely no problems at all!
With the roof off its very happy cruising at 90-95mph all day long.. With the roof on its comfortable at about 80-85mph... Amazing amount of interest and stares in Scandinavia

The odo now reads 3600miles - not bad considering that this is my weekend toy car eh?

Come on guys... Aren't you finished soon? We need to meet up for a spin or a track day or something!!

Regards to all,
Dylan

Is this rendering you services to speed things up If you fancy helping with some electrics your more than welcome.

Glad to see she's doing well. Just goes to prove that the 5EXI can be used more than a toy.

Hi Dylan,
it's good to know you had the confidence to take the 5exi on such a long journey, I suppose it proves the quality of the car and your build. I am just awaiting registration which I applied for two weeks ago and then i'll be off and away. It does need painting and some more cosmetic work but i want to run it for a while as it is, in battleship grey, until I know everything works as I want. How long did your registration procedure take by the way?.

Brian.

Dylan,

Sounds like you had some mega fun scooting round europe in the 5exi...Suprised you didnt include a cheeky trip to Nurburgring while you were there tho... Maybe next time huh!!!

Yeah - next time will definitely include a few laps around Nurburgring!

RE: registration - Terry from Marlin sorted it out for me - I think she went to the local DVLA and got it the same day..

Regards to all!
