Hi Ian and Jo
When we bought ours we were staying with our daughter in Coalville and we only travelled just over 100 miles on our first weekend away just to make sure everything was ok - then we travelled up to Ullapool for the ferry home and we have never regretted getting her, that was four years ago now and we have travelled the whole of the UK (more than once). So check her out on the first weekend away, get used to any funny little quirky ways she may have - (just like the wife) treat her well and she will give you years of pleasure - I hope !!!!
