Oh and the fuel tank holds approx 8lts so would be filling it up all day. sounds nice picking it up but just isnt practical. had to get mine shipped 50miles to me.

just drive it and man the f up.

Wear a helmet or some goggles, stay off the motorway on back roads and take your time.

It would be fun

Fucking driving a 7.5tonne to spain aswell, fuel will be sky high, cheaper to pay someone else to do it then all you have to do is open the door when it arrives at your house.

It takes 4 days, in a car, using motorways, with a bit of boot. It will take a week, new arse cheeks and cost a bomb in that.

Ring round plenty of haulage companys. They are always looking for backloads.

We dont go near that area, or i would have helped you out.
