I will keep it for a year, until my renewal comes and part with it, whilst I can still recoup everything I've paid for it, plus more

Good luck with that!

300 miles without a stop?

Thanks for ignoring one of the key bits of advice this thread gave you.

You wilfully endangered the safety of other road users with such stupidity.

He probably didn't ignore it, just chosen not to, or didn't feel the need to, or probably never mentioned it! He did say he had to refuel.
Give the guy a break now, we have all been on his back, he had a hill to climb and reached the peak, (unlike the other poster who keeps trolling , with his unimpressive M3 and a car that he has taken delivery of, yet not even laid down a deposit).
There are lots of things that could have gone wrong but they didn't, but that is the case with many things in life.

Hahaa cheers guys, I'll confirm once again, I've just paid £2442 for the year, not £440 every month.

I appreciate the comments about the legal side in regards to plates, I asked a traffic cop about them and he said it's ok. The private plate is in process of coming off, owner gave me green slip, he still has the logbook so everything will be sorted within the next 2 weeks.

I wanted to keep this for many years to come but financially, it doesn't make sense, I will keep it for a year, until my renewal comes and part with it, whilst I can still recoup everything I've paid for it, plus more as I've got a private plate and other mod parts that can be sold with the car.

Main priority is a house, so will clear loan off next year!

Hopefully you'll spend a bit more time deciding on the house!! (Another good reason to wait a few years before buying sporty cars. )

The only reason to stop on a cross country schlep while driving a German car, built for comfort on high speed/long distance work is because you need to fuel it up. Just because the vast majority of the UK have a fainting fit when they have to commute more than 20 miles doesn't mean his journey was anything more than an enjoyable, test drive.

So did you with your advice:

4. Don't rush it. Sit in the inside lane at 55mph to start with. Perhaps move up to 65-70mph when you're comfortable. Be aware of lower speed limits when they apply. Your fuel will be cheaper if you stay between 50-60mph.

Good advice... If you're nervous, surround yourself with 44 tonne trucks that are annoyed at you poncing along at a slow speed, when you should be making good progress, and driving up to and on the speed limit where appropriate.

massive over-reaction. Even my wife can do just over 3 hours without a stop in complete comfort and safety. My limit's about 5 hours, and I'm no superman.

Even lorry drivers can do 4.5 hours without a stop, at 56 on the motorway that's 250 miles - and there's nothing more boring than sat on cruise at 56mph.
