I had a job interview on Tuesday in which I ended up talking about werewolves.

I think the OP has had his phone confiscated.

I keep checking back in the hope the OP is thick skinned, takes it well and returns with a story of heroic proportions involving a trip oop Norf... but I suspect I will continue to be both disappointed and unfulfilled.

There's some great comments on here. If I'd been in the OPs position with few apparent choices left, I'd have seen how much it would cost to get a decent chauffeur driven car to take his Mrs/daughter up & he could then meet them up there in the Cayenne. Otherwise find a mate who he can trust with his car & get them to drop them up there for a decent pile of beer tokens.

I hope the OP concludes the challenge for us all....

It wouldn’t have been a non stop trip in a cayenne - at least 3 tankfulls to Yorkshire!

I actually got the job! Was offered it yesterday - I have been a stay at home dad for the last year and a half. That has been challenging in a different way, my daughter is coming up to three and I've been looking after her full time since she was one and a half - I need to return to work for a rest!

Sorry to bring a sensible solution into the fray that doesn't involve use of a Ford Orion, but couldn't your wife drive halfway the day before, then both stay in a travel tavern and continue the second half the following day?
stay in a Travel tavern? yikes

OP now needs to buy another car and a house en route to satisfy his OH and daughter laugh

keep it going guy's, the OP's not due back in until page 33

Just get them on a bloody plane, OP.

Fly to Huddersfield International and anywhere that's worth visiting is within a 20 minute taxi ride. No need for any further mithering.

I would imagine that OP's wife and daughter could get from North London to Yorkshire in less time than it would take to navigate 1 lap of the north and south circular on a Monday Morning, in either the Porsche, Mini or indeed a Ford Orion if one could be sourced.

OP, leave the pair of wet lettuces at home and shag a fat northern bridesmaid. There will be one.

Yep. About 7 miles from me.

JW often pops into my local and seems a nice bloke - he'd probably give 'em a lift.

Definitely need big girl pants on for that though... https://youtu.be/uEd5YhLAfyE

They have Stables at Huddersfield international so maybe the London ladies could hack to the wedding or I am sure Jamie can find a cart for them!

22 pages! eek

worth reading? I read the first page and I wouldn't have predicted significant further discussion, so I'm intrigued!

Ooh this is still going! It's the gift that keeps on giving. Has this fateful journey actually taken place yet - not sure if we established a timeframe in amongst all the flobble...?

So to recap, the OP was buying a Ford Orion, followed by a house at the mid-point of the journey for his wife - Rupertina and daughter - Falafel, to rest for the night.

And at some point he is going to shag a fat northern bridesmaid. Not sure if in a Ford Orion or not.

I suppose it depends if it's a Ghia...
