Good job you didn't use the "drop and park" service at the airport as there are yet more horror stories of people coming back from their holidays to find that over 300 miles have been put on their cars while they are away.. I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Re 300 miles on a new car, that’s called “Running In Service” and is extra.
If it’s at LHR on Wed am we could look after it for a while, though after 3 months on the wrong side no guarantee which side of the road will be used when.
PS Looking at the above pic they deffo need Ontario sized parking spaces.
