Normal practice would be to send the car as it is and then fly bits out as they are ready, which would generally save a lot of time and get the car on track much earlier than this way.

The factory has been working flat out for days, if not weeks, to get the car to this test - a friend of mine who works there was working on Sunday (again). To quote: "this winter has been unbelievable". No further detail has been forthcoming, as you might expect.

Another friend of mine has recently started working as a truckie for them, had a 29 hour ferry trip across the Bay of Biscay in a force 9 gale and has been sleeping in the cab for the last few days but is finding the experience rather less stressful; I suspect that'll change when the car arrives!
