They got a lift back.....and it was a brand spanking new kit
Was thinking it was a bloody long way, but guess its actually not as far as it sounds

100 miles door to door, so, far enough!!! :(

Looks like I'll be starting a new career as a taxi driver then!!!! :( ;D
That was about what I thought it would be, but when I looked on map, it didn't look that far  :-/.  Guess the lack of direct roads doesn't help...

It's not a bad run, about 2 hours usually, when you can get out of nottingham and avoid muppets!!! ;D
Being of the lesser sex, its OK for you to get lost in Nottingham :P

I wasn't driving!!! :P :P :P
I was referring to the previous time you got lost in Nottingham ;)

5/10. Very poor attempt at bent valves, looks like you only managed a single bend in each stem, no sign of a proper 'S' bend on any of them.

Did it make it back under its own steam, or did you push...
