Character to Yeovil or Close Wed15th April
As some of you'll know, " the highest mileaged D3 in the world" (in a jeremy clarkson voice) is down at TLO's after the big yellow taxi collected him from Salisbury plain on Easter Sunday..... looks likely that we'll be back on the road Wednesday..... anyone going that way, I'm in Swindon, Wiltshire, will take me trade plates with me to thump a lift from any drop off point en-route, so anyone going along M4/M5 southbound?
Cheers

cheers for the offer steve, wrong way matey, need to get across from junction 16, m4 to bristol, then hitch a lift from there down to yeovil on M5 south, then hopefully pick up a local lift in to town from there along A303.
Not expecting anyone to take me door to door, but if yer passing swindon heading west, give me a text, 07740 473349 / call. I'll leave about 11.00ish so that TLO can fit the part and get the coffee on

due the kind support from d3 members, managed to get me brother to take me down, (emotional blackmail, well petrol and a mcdonalds to be hontest).
will be rolling rolling rolling later today, yepee, off to birmingham to carlise, then off to edinburgh down as far south towards kent as me tacho will take me (or the holiday traffic coming home), then kent sat morning.... good to get back in the seat again
ps countrywide, sorry if TLO phones to say " your vehicle will be a few more days " just need it for the trip mate, nothing personal and all that, will disconnect the speedo so you'll not notice anything
