As above.

Reason for asking is that I sold a bumper on Ebay and said collection only or sort your own courier out. Lass bought it for £15 and lives in Wiltshire and says she is coming to collect it next Sunday. I live in Cumbria which is 250 miles away

I myself wouldn't travel that far for a £15 bumper

I'm expecting an email later in the week saying she doesn't want the bumper anymore as didn't realise how far away it was

Furthest I have travelled was for my GSi kit, alloys and suspension. That was at Carlisle so only about 65 miles away

I drove to Speed Shack in West Drayton to get the only set of all black smoked rear lights I could find about three years ago.

Bloody long way, was about 160 - 200 mile roundtrip.

It meant I didn't have to risk the lights getting damaged in transit, and I got a billet filler cap, and some stainless steel rotary bonnet locks while I was there though, so was worth it.
