Thanks to one cv joint declaring a jihad on my ass there i was travelling back to my native homeland (the north) at some miles per hour and bang... the car takes me across all three lanes of traffic onto the hard shoulder, i had zero say in its direction. Then we found out that it'll only go on flat bed trucks, so 3 trucks later i'm home.
Anyway, what a cracking day 
p.s i'm sunburt like never before

I think i put a few of the vectra club's noses out of place by cutting in the line and letting a few corsa's in front of me but they were being overly selfish. getting out of there was a nightmare, and the traffic before junction 11 on the m1 was bollocks. but we did have a laugh with the bird driving the "innocent" smoothy van covered in fake grass.
was a good day, lovely weather, got a wicked tan
