So, the first 10.000 km are done in the last 10 weeks.
So far it was a lot of fun!
Did I have electrical gremlins? Yes, but since 10 days they disappeared completely.
Was there a need for a new windscreen after 3 days? Yes, but that has nothing to do do with the car but rather with a big stone
However, from my point of view it is all about managing expectations. Buying a new car from a company that is new in this market…… I expected some start-up problems.
So in the first 10.000 km went from Germany two North Wales and two weeks later to the West Alpes (Italy and France) and inbetween a short trip to Switzerland. The rest have been some business trips….
During the trips I had a lot of fun, regardless if it was on the muddy green lanes in Wales or on the dusty and rocky „ways“ in the West Alpes!
Real Technical Problems: Zero! (Okay, need a new air filter after the Alpes. - normal)
Damages? Just some dents in the rock sliders - but that is what they are designed for.
Observations? For me the motor cooling systems shows in Italy at hot temperatures while driving 10-11 hours in steep ways at alow speed did proof that it works.
The suspension system is a bit soft in the back, especially when heavy loaded, but still excellent for a not modified system.
Is there a need to teain the Ineos customer contact? Yes?
So would I buy it again? For sure yes, if it goes ahead like that!
So- no there is a need for some cleaning ….the next trip is coming soon: Skandinavia (Norray, Sweden Finnland) after new year. Before that some „ hunting jobs“ in the woods.
Looking forward to some more good trips…..now iI need to go for cleaning the toy ……
