Chris,

That is a shame! Still at least the thoughts there. I do however have to hire one for the trip back....no trailers this time (and I really don't want to ruin all that hard work!). So if anyone knows of a cheap way of getting a D from London area to Portsmouth I'm all ears! (without having to take the wheels off...).

I towed it home with my astra and it was a good foot larger than my car either side....so I thought "This will be easy". Ha! Maddie wouldn't fit. Not even close. The back wheels were MUCH too wide. My solution? You don't want to know. But I don't recommend stick smaller wheels on the back of your car .
