I imagine with a poorly car, MaxV6 would avoid motorway by coming up through Middleton Stoney/Ardley (or Bicester way), rather than risk M40...
too damn right........
guys you're all complete stars, the multiple offers of assistance are truly humbling.... as if i wasn't humbled enough already by Mark and Jaime's efforts, I must bow and doff my cap to you all.... a million thanks just for caring ....
I'm thinking that , assuming the garage doesn't fix it... the best bet might be the cap off trick, back roads to Brackley with frequent stops, tonight , if Tunnie or anyone else (Baz?? ) was willing to chaperone it... and give me a lift home again... Obviously all fuel costs etc at my expense...
then the car is at jaime's first thing, nice and cool for strip down..... and I could either get a lift over , or come in the pug early on saturday,
along with my lad and the Animal protein for the BBQ.
if on the other hand, it's fixed, then hoorah.... and we can go back to plan A.
I'm truly sorry for all this kerfuffle chaps....
Max
