Potential muppet question here but I'm feeling lucky, so what the hell...

The car's currently sat at a garage with whom I am completely dissatisfied and I now just want to get the car back. Unfortunately it's undriveable at the moment (steering rack and clutch) , so I'm looking for a means of transporting it from the garage back home. Does anyone have any recommendations for transporting? Distance is Henley to Bracknell.

Any recommendations for a hire company / mate with a race trailer gratefully received. It's also currently without MOT so I can't just dump it on the road besides the garage and call the AA...

Is this the Cerb Tim?? If so then depending on who you are going to use, they themselves may be able to help, for instance I would recommend Andy @ APM and he may have access to a trailer/lorry as does lots of racey stuff to, for an additional charge or maybe subsidised if getting the business, he may go get it. Have the advantage of rubbing other garages nose in it a bit too lol (am assuming if it is the cerb then its at HH?).

Recommend Mel Spear off that list - Flying Blue Dog. Very local.
