Ohhh, I did not visit this place buddy. Wish I knew about this earlier.

Nice pictures Rajeev.

Seems like you are enjoying your stay in UK. Reps for those tips. They are surely very useful for the first timers in UK.
Thanks Akash.

I too hope you get that Mini for your next trip. BTW how is the charging done on renting cars?
Rental companies charge on the number of days, no restriction on the miles done. They have some special weekend offers too.

In our case, we opted for the weekend offer as insurance was included it in for free!

And what about the security deposit?
Security deposit is 200 pounds.

Dont the rentals hesitate in giving their cars to foreigners?
Not at all. They are here to make money and competition is fierce.

BTW what cam did you use ?
Errr... sorry for the poor quality pics, if that is what you meant. I used my humble phone for all the pics. I dont have a DSLR or even a simple digital camera over here!

Hope your enjoying UK.
Pics speak for itself!

Discount on fine [evil]. 50% Off Dhamaka offer [clap].
Hope they had something like that in India.
For that, first we need to have proper road rules and regulations in place.

In India, discount is not on fines, but it is on bribes and that totally depends on your bargaining power.

Hii Raj_5004, its question about the car, the Insignia, does the car have more legroom in the back seat than a VW Jetta, and how was the interior, did the all black feel claustrophobic?

Excellent write-up and pictures Raj!

Visit Scotland during Spring season, will be very beautiful.
Sadly, we dont have the time to visit Scotland now, so most probably we will plan to go there in September.

Hii Raj_5004, its question about the car, the Insignia, does the car have more legroom in the back seat than a VW Jetta, and how was the interior, did the all black feel claustrophobic?
I cannot post a clear picture about the rear legroom with respect to the VW Jetta since I was driving the Insignia and never really sat in the rear seat, except a few minutes to check out the legroom.

It is definitely more spacious than the older Jetta but I think the new Jetta is equally good.

I have always liked all black interiors and the windows were large enough to make the cabin bright and airy, so I was not feeling claustrophobic.
