Drove back from Monmouth in Wales yesterday, left at 5pm and as soon as I hit the M4 it all started going wrong, did i miss something yesterday cos the traffic was like a Bank holiday Monday. Had to come off at Swindon and do the back roads up to the next junction and then had to come off again and go through Windsor, Chertsey and back on at Thorpe park. Wanted to make the 10pm crossing so had to get my foot down on the M20, always weary about the M20 because it's always got plod hidding somewhere, sure enough i just caught a glimse of the reflective side of the car tucked away in a access road, little bit of brakes and with that a polish merc went flying by me, must have been doing at least 110, nice one thats taken their attention away from me, cruised past them at 70 and out they came straight past me and nicked Polski
Thankfully the rest of the journey was easy and arrived back at 5am this morning. However, Mommouth to Dover 5hrs, Dunkirk to my door in Germany 5hrs  Speed Limits! not where I live!

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

It ended up where it deserved

written off

but it took too attempts

2 months old and 1x motorbike bouncing on the dashboard (6 months to repair that one)
1 x transit van ripping front end off whilst it was parked out on the road did the job

I did see the error or my ways a got the FL2 then
