Decided to SORN Lexus from Sept to at least April next year, maybe even until August.
Then the love affair can begin again. Lexus just doesn't fit in travel plans until Sept 2025.
Promise to take it on a big Autumn jolly then.
How much battery juice is used in performing the trick? Would be a shame if roof opens and then car won't start.
I always have engine running when I open or close roof.
That was on the edge of an idyllic lake in Sweden. https://maps.app.goo.gl/e4VvhaEJ6SVFx1Vd6
We had access to a rowing boat as well. Discovered the joys of roasting walnuts.
We took 80 days to wander about. Lofoten Islands are spectacular.
Might take it on another big Scandi trip next year to save wear and tear on the Lexus. Will be five years since we went up there.
Already thinking 2025 road trips.
Already upped it from 5000 to 7500 mid term.
Anyway, driving around France in Sept Oct in my other vehicle.
Lexus will be stashed in the garage with a blanket.
Just looked at odometer.
I have a mileage allowance of 7500 miles on classic policy. Might even have to sorn it for a bit. Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec.
That means I only have 368 miles left to play until Christmas!!!
Driven 7132 miles so far this year.
Beat that.
Cannot really charge per mile without every single car having a telematic box installed.
If odometer reading based then you get punished for taking your car abroad.
Those pesky electric cars have complicated things for the Treasury.
Maybe just a simple annual tax based on the weight of the vehicle to start with.
But happy to pay my share because the alternative is seeing those Tory goons pontificating every day.
