I live 2 mins from the garage and takes me about 40 mins to get to ringwood in the van so would say about an hour on a monday morning.

[nick1275]

I'd allow an hour, it will be a 50mph traffic jam across the Forrest, and queuing to get on the m3 from the m271 or there abouts

[ecain63]

Cool, thanks guys. I'll leave at 8.45am to be safe.

Waiting. Got a road test with the master tech and then brake fluid change. Shouldnt take long.

Why?

After the conversation I had with them last week I wouldn't trust them to look after my neighbours cat, let alone a £75k technical masterpeice. Woods can 'jog on'!

Allow an hour, expect it to take 45 mins.

Woods would take you about 25mins at the same time and theyre idiots, as you obviously know.

[breadvan]

45 mins is all

Ferndown to Ringwood - 10 Mins
Ringwood to M27 - 15 mins (inside lane quicker!)
M27 - CF - 15 mins (at 09:30)
CF to Scotall - 5 mins

easy-peasie

Good Luck!

I might spot your car. And for one very good reason, I work at Asda Eastleigh. Which isn't that far from the dealership.

Really? I've heard bad things about them, but that's ridiculous.

Right, I won't be recommending them to BMW owning friends.

I'd rather walk than let them fix my car, the bloke behind the parts desk is patronising. However I've heard nothing but good things about wood at salisbury

[M5 Mark]

What day you dropping it in Eddie?

[ecain63]

Tomorrow morning mate. Road test at 10am then brakes at 11am.

[GT03ROB]

I can tell you what it's like at 6:30! 25 mins pottering.

When I oversleep, it's been dire post 7am, but leaving after 8 seems to improve.
