Shite innit.

 

I went to Braithwaites for a flat bed once, then to Crewe to collect a car, then to Liverpool to pick up an engine, back to Preston to unload same then had to drop the trailer off before 5pm.

 

Frankly I was fed up of driving by the end of the day.

That's when you start to appreciate a quality vehicle on top of its job, even the finest stuff starts making noises and vibration which have gone the next day, after a proper kip. Cheaply engineered shite turns into the devil himself on extended trips, especially when towing.

Pft. I can't even tow. At least you can actually tow stuff around

That sounds like a seriously long day! Not bad going for Blackpool > Gretna in 1.5 hrs with a trailer though.
