We are staying at the Hollies Hotel, so a bit west of Yeovil.
We stopped at the Haynes museum in April on the way back from Cornwall. Going to go to Longleat on Saturday, but not sure on the Sunday

I always cut them into small chunks. Much faster. I now have an image of you trying to boil up large baking potatoes whole! pulling your hair out because they are taking so long lol

so that's why it took an hour & half for them to boil through!

That's not too bad at all. And a new subframe will offer some piece of mind.

I just got a quote from the mini garage I use Steve220, that was with it fitted so would assume he's looking at non genuine. Yeah even though I've been driving her just knowing that yesterday on the way home I was pootling along just incase!

ahhhh okay :) think we're going down the m1 stop off at leister east services :)
Jul 25 2015 01:25 PM -

m62 east, m6 south near warrington, then a14 east. The big question is whether to use the m6 toll. lol. I find it a PITA, but it should be slightly quicker, in theory. :/
Jul 25 2015 01:32 PM -
a_woolhouse
think the m6 toll only really cuts 15mins off your overall journey and the prices are obscene!! lol

Stop replying to the comments and get out on the road. You know you want to.

inim_repooc
yeah... slight hitch... insurance companies don't want to here about it down to being a new driver and it being an import and stuff... :/
Got a feeling the mini may have to go (it will kill me to do so though!)
