Create time for more shopping and sightseeing by asking Manchester Police for a crime number in advance. |

Trying to be more helpful, but sorry, best advice I can offer is avoid the NCP on Whitworth Street, which is just around the corner from the Refuge building (hotel). I think it was designed for minis. Serious scuff marks in the wall on every turn and very small parking bays.

Thanks guys - I've just been talking with my wife and instead of taking the 2016 4.4 SDV8 AB, we're going to take the dog mobile, (a 2007MY 4.4 V8 Vogue petrol), Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic car and I love it, but it looks like an absolute pig sty!

Surely they can’t be as slobbery as a St Bernard |

My grey 4.4 TDV8 Overfinch 322 a customer bought from me was stolen from there a year or so after he bought it...

The problem with trains is the huge variation in fares , when I wanted to take the family to London from warrington a tank full of fuel was 1/4 the price of 4 tickets |

That is true, however I used to drive to London but now I train it as it’s cheaper and I can get straight into St pancs from derby in and hour and a half and I don’t need to park, or pay for parking, or worry about the car when I’ve parked it....(it’s all about the parking) |

Agreed train is definitely easier if you're traveling alone , though a mate of mine had to go to London on a business trip , rocked up at the station at 6am and was stunned when they wanted £300 for a return ticket |

Take the RR at those prices. Pay the congestion charge, drive where you want, pay for parking £40 all day and let's call it £50 on diesel depends where you're coming from but let's call it £100 and you can take 5 people. In style. Door to door.

This sort of thread is why we have an old faithful RAV4 that we use for Tesco runs, the local tip, to and from our allotment etc. We keep the Fattie for long and/or low risk trips. I know some will say "it's a shame if you don't use it" but I keep my cars mint and hate the idea of them being vandalised or worse. See my Gatwick parking thread for details! |
