A mate, who is married to a Philippino lady, 
has just emmigrated there. I have bought his Audi A6 tiptronic (for resale) which he has left for me with a neighbour.
The car is in Glasgow, I am in Preston. 
Now if anyone was Glasgow bound towards the end of this week, or early next, it would be kinda helpful. I might even do a few hours behind the wheel for you.
Regards, Jonathan
I was told tomorrow my load might be going out to Glasgow from Limmerick which means I would be coming in through Liverpool if thats any good, for Thursday morning
ill have a word at work tommorow weve got transpoters round that way alot
W H Malcolm run a trunk out of their Preston depot to their Glasgow hubs. Try thumbing.
still looking 
Skyhook, Iām an ex Trade Plater & therefor somewhat of a professional āthumberā & from that considerable experience know that it is much more efficient & easier to arrange a lift in advance.
W H Malcolmās depot is well south of me & they are more or less straight out of the yard & onto the m/way.
If nothing comes from Trucknet, I probably will take my plates & hitch. I could go by National Express, but how boring is that!
Ive got a load for perth on tuesday so could you upto hamilton services if thats any help.
Paul
If I get anything I will let you know, sometimes I go to Coatbridge. Nothing on the cards as yet though mate.
later
Allrighty
im loading heanor at 0600 monday for greenock, although i normally route via the a66 ill make an exception if your desperate jonathan.
There is a 1 in 3 chance of Motherwell leaving 01:00 Monday morning, otherwise Iām afraid its going to be Grantham or Leicester, I wont know until I get to depot.
Sorry I cant give a definate.
Allrighty
Thanks Allrighty, (and others) but thatās kinda early anyway!
Iām not ignoring the thread & have PMād some of the guys with the offers above.
But keep 'em coming as nothing defo yet. Aiming for Tuesday.
No worries m8, just see what turns up. just checkin b4 i leave to see whats what. later peeps.
Allrighty
Well guys it looks like Iāll be up the road on the thumb & trade plates tomorrow (Tuesday).
So if you see a guy with a yellow jacket, trade plates, grey hair & specs between Preston & Glasgow, thatāll be me
Some cracking lifts offered above by Liam & Paul especially, but unfortunately neither thought to PM me their phone numbers 
For those who were left wondering: I made it 
with no small thanks to Paul.
07.40 lift with neighbour to Garstang
08.00 attempt lift up A6 to M6 J33
08.20 nothing doing & aware Paul is gaining on me
08.25 taxi into Forton services (back way in) 4.3 miles Ā£7.50
may well have got a lift as required, but it is impossible to hitch to a time table.
09.00 Paul collects me in services
12.00 arrive Motherwell services
Put āGlasgowā up. About 10 mins get lift with elderly gentleman, ornithologist, fell & mountain climber, to Cambuslang station. He even tells me what time the trains will be!
Ticket machine at office broken āpay on the train.ā Never saw anyone to pay!
Arrive Glasgow central, purchase onward ticket to Bearsden (Ā£2). Laugh with man in ticket office re understanding each others accents. (2 nations divided by a common language etc)
He tells me which platform & I find myself back on the same train iāve just got off, just before the doors close
A very smart & chatty dolly bird in fish nets makes sure i get off to change at the right station (Partick)
About 25 mins wait, then 15 mins train ride to Bearsden. Iād looked at my A-Z & noticed that the road where my mate lived (& hence the car which was at his neighbours) was under a mile away, so thought iād walk it. But its pouring down, so I think Iāll get a cabā¦oh no I wonāt. This station is like a small out post & there werenāt any around.
By the time I get there my trousers are wet as the rain has been running off the bottom of my coat, & onto themā¦ you know how it is.
As soon as I rounded a corner I recognised where i was & had no problem going straight to the house for 14.15hrs
The guy is out, but has left the keys hidden for me. The rain is coming down sideways & hard & Iām trying to check the spare wheel & tools, dip the oil, check the lights, etc.
I roll my wet jacket up outside in & put it & the plates in the boot (Its taxed). Get in & get it fired up. By the time iāve answered some text messages, its demisted & the bloomin sun is out
14.30: Drive to BP station at bottom of road & put Ā£30 petrol in it. Back off pumps & make a start on butty lunch, which I am more than ready for.
14.45: Head towards city centre eventually picking up the M8. After my soaking earlier, iāve now got my sun glasses on!
As soon as I was clear of Glasgow, stop at Bothwell services for coffee from flask & chunky kitkat.
Next stop Killington lake (cos its an easy in & out).
18.05 Home sweet home.
Had cruise set on about 76mph most of the way. One patch of EXTREMELY heavy rain where you run by the railway thruā the hills where we were all down to about 35, but only for a few minutesā¦
190 miles Exactly 3 hours driving time = average 63.33
Vorsprung Dork Tecnic!
glad you made it d1uk
howed u find the tiptronic (please dont say its just behind the steering wheel)
Its on the stick I looked around for it
Drove it back in auto. Did just have a quick play with it (the tiptronic 
) on some errands yesterday lunch time, but was chatting to female passenger
Think it would be good fun if you wanted to drive spiritedly accross country.
