8.7 miles to be exact - how much?

Here's the scenario: Immobile Audi A8 in residents' off road parking area access to which is via an archway through which a recovery truck cannot pass. The car's brakes are locked on, the steering lock is on, there are no electrics whatsoever but it is possible to get into the car.

It needs to be taken 8.7 miles to an independent Audi specialist who has recommended the recovery company he usually uses. They call with one flatbed and two men, one of whom turns up in a second vehicle.

How much was the bill?

There was a thread in the lounge about PH let downs the other day. This thread is going in there.
I wouldn't get too excited about that thread.
I'm not very excited by this one and I started it. rolleyes
