    Amazing time.
    I absolutely love the car.

    I was a bit worried b/c a lot of people said they hate the seats, but I found it to be the most comfortable car I've driven.

    We took small roads as much as possible too & it handled like a charm.

    Only a few complaints... crosswinds are very noticeable, and on looong uphill climbs the battery drains, but it recovers quickly on the way down.

    I too find the seats very comfortable. A height adjuster would be welcome but I've driven my car for 18 hours straight and never really had a complaint with the comfort.

    Looks like a fun trip. The Rothbury Festival looked like a great time. It is good to see Phil is still going strong and the setlist from that show looks like a winner. In fact, you inspired me to d/l the show which I'm listening to as I type this and it sounds outstanding.

    Phil & Friends were the highlight of the whole fest, imo.
    My gf & I listened to the 'Searching for the Sound' audiobook in the beginning of the trip, and his set was the perfect ending to it.

    Someone has a real "camera eye".
    Great pics!
    Why not send to National Geographic with storyline of trip.
    Sort of a modern day update.....
