Oh TomTom always gets you there, just sometimes a little interesting, especially in a hgv

Try the travel via if you want to go by roads you know, or want to take.

Best way to be fair, when they're right they take alot of stress away, my Garmin is fucked, won't update and is getting old, gonna have to invest in a Tom Tom! lol They just help with the fiddly bits at the end of a journey IMO.

Like I took a detour to Crewe on Friday afternoon to pick some suspension up for the cossie, the damn thing took me straight to my mates door no hassle at all, yet in the evening it played right up and me and Loader didn't get back to the hotel until nearly 10pm!

Chassis number in floor was hand stamped, one in my mates is raised, smaller, and neater, so God knows what's gone on there
If I had I wouldn't be here now, be out in the rain fixing the damn thing
