NJ2 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I saw the flaw in that plan. My car is (possibly) in Sighthill/Parkhead. Got one on a one-way hire to dump down there. You really do think of everything...In fairness, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the roasters on here would have only realised this in London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's so special you need to go to London for it, is there nothing similar in between? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirling council schools were closed at lunchtime despite only 1 cm of new snow and the Stirling council area being several miles north of the amber warning area. Funny how Falkirk managed to keep theirs open! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been assured that it was a getaway car in an episode of The Sweeney. It's still got the scuffs from the cardboard boxes it drove into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would think you could get a good deal for the return leg. In America I think you just have to pay for the fuel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About £80 one-way hire in an A Class diesel and about £70 for fuel so not bad if you don’t mind driving. 19 minutes ago, Ziggy said: What sort of Jag are you getting? An XE 4x4.

Would have appreciated 4x4 on it the last few day though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Yes, could fly/get a train but still have to risk delays, get to station/airport/connections. Fine if I could get jaiked but driving straight back up after so don’t really fancy that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
