Anyone want to drive a car from London (Bromley) to Fife (Kirkcaldy)
I know its a long shot- just thought I would ask - have bought a diesel 75 and can go myself but need to take a day off work which isn't easy right now

You make sure the car is legal to drive, cover the train fares, the insurance costs etc. and I'll happily run it up there for you anytime you like.

I will look into train fares - GOSFORTH to BROMLEY and then KIRKCALDY to GOSFORTH is that right? As for insurance, I would need to add you to my own policy, is that right? |

You could add me to your insurance, or take a separate two day policy out I understand, best talk to your insurers on that point.

I might even be already covered for third party for a car I don't own.
[EDIT] I have just checked and I am covered under my own policy, providing you already have your own cover for the vehicle. Train fares are expensive, if you can find anyone passing by this way on route to London it would save a good lump. I'm thinking - lift or train down, drive back here for an over night, then next morning on up to you, with train or lift back down.

What happens if the driver is involved in an accident of some sort?
*world war three!* heh heh... Back in the days when I bought/sold/delivered cars for a living, the rule was:- if I crashed one, the boss made me the proud owner at cost!!! fortunately it never happened.. ... |
