The list of Dermotts was a little longer, mind 😉

One thing I was very impressed with on the D5 was the sat nav. As the car has its own data sim you can type in words that relate to where you want to go, it will then search and give you a list of suggestions, then one simply selects the destination from the list and away you go.
For instance whilst on the wast cost of Ireland I typed in 'Cliff' and it gave me a list of cliffs starting with the closest to us
I'll second that
Hope you enjoyed your 'tour' of the border country on our way home 8) (courtesy of combination efforts of D4 nav and Google maps with no phone signal)

I still think the D4 (and D3) look like true 4x4 and the D5 looks like a town car, however I've only had fleeting views of one (i think,maybe it was one of the other things ) so shouldn't judge i suppose.

Two-stage off-road mode the automatic system is able to vary between two ride heights of +40mm and +75mm. At speeds below 50km/h (31mph)
The +75mm setting is available and for faster speeds on rutted dirt roads, between 50-80km/h (31-50mph), the vehicle will operate at +40mm.
In addition, the new Speed Lowering function cuts drag and enhances fuel economy by automatically reducing the ride height by 13mm at cruising speeds above 105km/h (65mph).
Enhanced tuning to prevent the suspension from lowering in deep wading conditions, as well as preventing belly-out situations where the centre of the vehicle rests on the ground.

Omey Island, near Cleggan, Co. Galway. It's about as far west as you can go!
Thank you for the great story!
