The last time I was on the M27 (and the M271) was on 1st May.
Coming back through the New Forest the car broke down :(
I managed to coast into a pub car park (Oh yes, I did - honest injun)
I was without the car for a month. It has cost me a second mortgage. However, I think walking is over-rated, by far :p
How convenient to break down near a pub.... was it a man or the courviosier you were after? lol. Should have rung me I would have picked you up on my three wheeled tractor old gal.
