Could you really take a premium car to a happy penis dealer?

"Be with you in a jiffy ....."

Or rent a boat and potter round Chichester harbour if it's a nice day
Gad stable may be relocated by then. And refreshed. Three cars for sale atm and house on market at Easter.

As for Mark choosing between Reading and Chichester - tough call - not.

I think I've been to the Reading dealership if it's attached to Lancaster Jaguar. Actaully couldn't fault them but I can fault Reading. Dump. Chichester is one of the nicest small cities in the country. Harwoods Aston is very easily accessed off the A27. Lancaster Jag is accessed only after all sorts of contortions on a horribly laid out series of junctions. Confuses the hell out of satnav.

AM Reading is in Pangbourne which is not a dump. They also do Bentley and Lamborghini so usually nice stuff to look at. I've never dealt with them but they seem friendly, e.g. my 8 year-old son was looking at the Lambos and they asked him if he'd like to sit in one. Also had a vintage Ferrari in last time I took him for a look.

Pangbourne is nice. I was being charitable by caling Reading a dump. It's a toilet.

MB needs to avoid these places.

He should therefore proceed in an easterly direction to Chi (pronounced Chai).

He can do it in a straight line on the M27/A27 from MB Towers to Chi without needing to deviate to anywhere ghastly like Havant.

I've offered that he drops in on me, as I'm sure it's on his route back
