i've text him; for some stupid reason i cant ring him; he can only ring me - probably some restriction on my phone or something

i've done it before; you just have to be with the vehicle and phone up; for all the RAC know you could have just done a track day and your going back to Norway with them -
your mate Q has offered someone to do it, if your not up for it
i completely understand if you dont want to Dave
