Hello again, my new Cali will arrive next week. It is Sand Beige, 140 DSG, F&R sensors, privacy glass, MFSW etc. I am very excited but also a little scared as I know so little about cars in general and have seen a Cali only once. Never driven one.
Last year I wrote that I am an older, retired woman who will be traveling alone. I live in Ireland and plan to live in the Cali about 8 months/year in the warmer southern European countries. Since I know so little I am not starting my trip until I have attended the meeting in May where I hope to get info from the many nice Cali owners there. I know that they will have lots of tips. Please can I get some input on a few questions now?
1. Are there any items that I should consider pre ordering so that Brandrup can bring them to the meeting? I know that there are many accessories but do any of you have favourites?
2. I have never driven in England so this will be the first time. Will it be easy to buy a Tom Tom Sat Nav there? That would help a lot. I hope that the meeting area in Sussex will be easy to reach.
3. When you go over to the Continent is it better to go via Ferry or the Tunnel??? I want to book my continuing journey.
4. Last question - would it be a good idea to go over a few days early and go to stores like Brandrup where I can see the products rather than pre ordering?
Thanks so much for all the help. Looking forward to meeting many of you in May.
