colin_ross Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 In my opinion if the car is road legal then just drive it up the road. The cost of getting it up here on a flatbed will add a fair bit to the price of the car. That money could be spend on a service or a velvet rope. If there is something else that worries you like you'd like to do a few shakedpwn runs closer to home I'd understand that too but if traffic is your main worry just travel in the evening. Worse case scenario - stop off at Bargeddie and wait till the traffic has dies down. Link to comment
