Well after the 16hr roundtrip to London and back yesterday we thought why not go and get the other car/thing we had to pick up today. So I stupidly volunteered to drive and take esther thinking Scarborough was only 3hrs down the road.. eeeeh oooooh, try 5 and a half..
So after picking up a hungover Gaz we headed southwards...
After a quick stop for petrol and bull we were off again...
Then through a random tunnel under some water...
Then we bailed off the main roads and went along probably the best A roads ive been on... Stopped in a safe spot for some sightseeing.. lol
Then we finally turned up in Scarborough to meet the new addition to my mates fleet... A Suzuki Samurai Jeep!!! Ace!
Esther and Suzie chillin out in Mcdonalds...
Apart from the fact it struggled to do 60 and we caused some major traffic issues it was running spot on... until it blew its clutch up! lol Not a problem, just keep it movin, well that would be ok if it had petrol.. So 100 miles from home in the pissing rain on the A1 we hooked up the tow rope to old trusty Esther and towed the beast till we found a petrol station..
After taking the piss for a bit we headed for home... no more pics because I was too wet, tired and fed up... lol
1600 miles in 2 days... oooooft
