As I have said elsewhere, my wife doesn't drive. She is not all that aware of what the car is doing, taking months to realize my gearbox was howling like a troupe of monkeys. However, today I was trying to join a busy roundabout where the A720 City bypass joins the main A1. As I eventually got a gap that allowed me to join the traffic she commented,
"It takes away like a sledge without snow". Sums it up perfectly. Not the most spirited of vehicles.
