Too long. Got a tyre blowout on the M40 and stood in the rain by the hard shoulder for 45 minutes waiting for the AA to arrive because Toyota don't have an engineer capable of understanding that wheelnuts put on at a million pounds per square inch can't be undone with a lever 6 inches long!
Then I had to drive back at 50 MPH because the spare wheel was one of those spindly thin numbers designed to get you home.
It was funny though when we stopped at Stafford services at 9.15 ish when every blue who went past us left a trail of beery fumes behind them.
We finally got home at 10.30, just in time for the local Chinese takeaway and in time for the highllights on BBC.
It was a great day out though, the friendliest final we can remember, and even though I was still damp when ordering the takeaway, we was happy.
