I suspect if I started my car and drive it the distance of say, a service bay to the front of a showroom, it would read around 12mpg 🤔

Mine was moved at the airport on Friday about 400 yards and the trip recorded 6mpg.

As beautiful as your GTS spec is Blues (and it is beautiful) I hope we don’t meet up anywhere, I think it might be a bit embarrassing!! 😂😂

No problem with pick up/drop off.

The dealership is three miles away, the driver will be lucky to get it up to 30mph either way.

I see what you mean. :D In my defence although I admired your car when you got it, the only thing I could remember about it was the colour and the reg. But mine will be a real GTS. You've debadged and frigged yours to appear to be one - to the extent of supergluing the air button in low mode🤣 🤣

They might be able to collect you from train station.

Courtesy cars seem to be getting more difficult to get.
Wouldn’t worry about trusting the drivers too much. Most of the drivers at my local OPC garage routinely drive cars that most of us will only ever dream of driving. A friend of mine who has retired has found his second career driving/delivering cars for a high end garage and routinely delivers multi million £ cars to their owners; surprisingly not everyone has them trailered. And no he doesn’t rag them, treats them all with utmost care and consideration.
