That sounds pretty good going seeing as it will most likely be a 600 mile round trip. Most charge £1 a mile.

Cost me £249 to get mine from Norwich to Wirral which is about 300 miles.

I used shiply to get prices and picked the lowest with the best rating...

Sounds like a bargain.. Be fucked if I'd do a nearly 600 mile round-trip for a poxy 275 quid..

You'd be a fool to tow it yourself on a straight bar, you'll either end up causing an accident or fucking the car that is towing it.

+1

That's why I was happy to pay for mine to be picked up, 10 hour round trip + fuel meant £250 to be collected was bargain

Why will I cause an accident? I'm saving £275 I got a company van and a diesel card so it's just time.

I take it you've towed a car before? Its bad enough towing a car 2.9 miles let alone 290!
