N.B bet I don't see another 740.

You’ll be passing through the outskirts of my old hometown of Bridport on your travels, it sounds like a lovely drive you have in store.
My 6hr hack up to Carlisle is for work, I normally do long hauls in my old Merc C220CDI as it turns in 55mpg for motorway running, but as of yesterday it has pad warning lights up and a nasty judder under hard braking, so whilst that awaits front pads and discs, the 740 gets the job!
In all honesty, I’m still very much in the honeymoon period with the car having picked it up yesterday, so whereas 6hrs in the merc would have been a slog, 6hrs in the 740 sounds like a nice day out!
