Does 300 miles in one day to visit Prescott and take part in the VMR annual run contiburte as a long distance drive... it certainly felt like it when i got home that night..!!!

Well, i only ever really intended doing the sunday part of this event, so i had spent the preceeding week fitting a towbar to my Land rover 90.... and then borrowed a trailer on friday eve, loaded the car up on sat afternoon, and did a quick test drive.... well, i've never been so shocked at how bad...
