Moving car dilemma?

31 miles? Personally, I'd borrow/buy an A-Frame, tow it at 1am and have a friend follow in another car to cover the back end and just plead ignorance to the 'axle on the ground law' if caught.

Insure it for the day, £20 arrange for MOT near you (which you will cancel) and then tow it ....Im lead to believe that is legal if your stopped or caught on camera.

I've used Shiply for 300 mile trips before, and it always gets to around £1 per mile but if its only 30 miles just try a local self employed recovery guy. Be more like £50!

Or just borrow some plates off a lude in the same colour with t&t and drive it hehe

I did the book it for a mot on phils atr couple weeks ago, so nearly got pulled over but I'm not sure what they class as 'within reasonable distance'? I did about 7-8 miles and a big volvo cop car flew past, slammed on the brakes but carried on. I guess he had bigger fish to catch

Yeah I spoke to my dad who knows the owner of the local garage so he is going to esquire for me.

Pete - The car does not drive, the engine has bits missing

I give up, just buy a dam trailer. Think about it, it'll save on fuel driving to track, saves on expensive tyres. Ull always get it home no matter what happens.... Dam it i want a trailer now

Craig I didn't know you had a trailer, good for the future though. Pete I deffo will be getting a trailer at some point, Im not driving the 4G down to England

Anyway panic over and it is all sorted. £90 for a local company to move the car for me. Saves a lot of mucking about. Just wish I had thought of that earlier

can you not get a guy ( a trailer company) to come pick it up for you and drop it off...? i got a guy down south who does mine.. he's taken my car back and forth to PAW (1 hour 20mins away) for £70-£80 a trip and he comes from Bristol. i'm sure theres people up north who would do this..
