The Yeti has arrived in the UK ;D We don't know if she spent Christmas bobbing about on a boat, or stuck at Emden dock side, but she will be in Cardiff later this week ;D It will need a few days/week to PDI, sort out insurance before she's ready to hit the Welsh forest tracks streets of Dinas Powys. Betty, in the hall, has her Christmas antlers on still and getting excited for her first ride strapped in the back seat

You might have trouble putting Betty on the Insurance, as i cant get any insurance for Jon as he just passed his test and they want silly money

UPDATE: The Yeti is in Grimsby, and in Cardiff tomorrow Give them a week to do whatever they do ............ ps. If you specify Australia on the dash screen (dealer option only), the speed appears as mph, not kmph as a digital display. The speedometer says mph but only in funny numbers

As a matter of interest Jerry, did they let you choose the registration number; I've always been given a list to choose from? And as for needing a 4x4 for shopping - sorry, you've just joined the Chelsea Tractor Set

And as for needing a 4x4 for shopping - sorry, you've just joined the Chelsea Tractor Set No, not bothered about number plates - sort of irrelevant in my mind Dinas Powys is hardly Chelsea, there is no bling on the car and it's not very big (Golf size) - but I know what you mean The 4x4 bit is about getting up our road and drive in snow, plus wet fields/tracks when out in the countryside plus the occasional gravel rally route when I need a bit of comfort
