.....I mean, what could possibly go wrong?! 
I've run friends all over the place to buy cars that we've just driven home, including a Tr7 from Swansea that had done 3miles to and from the MOT after 10 years off the road. The procedure is simple: take a few tools and supplies(water is essential) ensure your AA membership is up to date and just do it. The last time I did this, the Omega broke down. Some years ago I did wimp out of flying to Glasgow, buying the 1939 Minx with a 1725 Hunter engine and driving it home for our club show on the Sunday.
How did the Omega break down?
MAF failure. It stopped idling as we hit the early Friday evening traffic on the M25. I suspected the crank sensor, so had it recovered home.
Thanks. My first V6 (3.0 ex-police) October 2005 came with a dodgy MAF which gave me awful trouble for 6 months, stalling occasionally. I was not on this forum then, I was on a Yahoo site. Eventually Chad, on the Cadillac Catera website, suggested unplugging the MAF, sorting the problem. I had changed many other components before then. Since then only crank sensor failures have stopped me. They were intermittent too.
