I genuinely keep thinking of just locking away and leaving there.

The car handles well but knocks and bangs, kangaroo's, whines you name it and it's about a million miles from being a road car now which a couple of years ago was great but now i want to use the car with the family it's feels like i can't which is the enjoyment part straight out the window.
And top it all off it's done the last 25 miles to £25 of fuel, it's massively overfueling and i'm now where near anyone that can set up these.

It's booked in with James at MSD for live mapping in 5 weeks and i still need to put 750 miles on the motor which if i keep going this way will be fucked by the time i even make it there.

Totally disheartened with it if i'm honest and just want a basic car i can run in then enjoy after mapping

Question for any engine builder, tuner.......

One option is to drive it down to Blackpool 93 miles away but i wasn't sure if sitting on the motorway for that length of time is going to be idea for bedding a new motor in?

Put it on the back of a tow truck, 100 mile will cost about £100 and by the sound of it you would use that in fuel driving it. I'm sure MSD can set it up on a temporary safe map for you to run it in.
