Would you ever consider going on a 10 hour drive just to pick up a car then a 10 hour drive back so all together would be around 20 hours drive

Would depend on the car IMO, but yes, I would consider it, then probably say its a stupid idea.

Fly to newquay airport? Or a closer one.

500miles will only take 6.5hours. Easy.

Adam trailored the green corsa down to Lee's and back up (around 7-8 hours either way)
Got the AA to take the white shell down
And then drove down and back up to collect it once it was re-shelled.

That damn corsa
