And that's why I have single swivel seats up front in my van. I did a similar drive; 15 miles to get fence paint from store in Cannock, 35 miles via A5 and M54 to get back home. My van, "Gandhi", loved the run so much, I swear she was blowing me kisses when I pulled up outside my house. I suppose now I'll need to drive 30 miles to the garden centre (3 miles from here) and buy some fence panels for the paint. It's a good job my wife loves me!

The best purchase of the year for me was a pair of Kahtoola Nanospikes. I think they were £20 from Amazon. They just slip on your boots. You won’t look like your going to climb Everest either. They are awesome on ice and mud and could save you a trip to A&E. A great little investment I recommend.
