Ah! I think that was a service the AA or RAC provided; you'd post the info to them and get the route (possibly in a folder) posted back
The early 3B/B5 Passat, A2, mk1 TT had a nav option that used just the dash display for arrow prompts with a separate speaker for spoken directions, the controls (four buttons and a knob iirc) were in the centre console.

I think the Vectra had something similar - traffic master or route master or something, very primitive.

How about not having a sig at all?

Just a snippet, but reminds me how awesume the race RS500’s were….

That looks like an awesome drive - well worth leaving the boat for.

His apartment is a 5 minute walk away so it’s not setting a very good example for the environment which he keeps preaching about is it.

Has Mr. Metcalfe a yacht down there?
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Those Rimac times are frightening. Pretty sure first video showed a 0-100mph in 3.6 and 0-150mph in 6.6. To put that into perspective, Autocar tested the new GT3 from 0-100mph in 7.5. Basically by the time a GT3 hits 90mph the Rimac will already be at 150mph
Would still rather have a GT3 though.
