dollywobbler Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 I do believe we hit the speed limiter. And a pretty girl came and sat right in front of me. Who said buses were shit? Oh.

dollywobbler Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Bored now. Over an hour on this bus so far. Another ten minutes and I change to an identical bus for the next leg. I did pass a field full of broken Escort Mk5s, but alas wasn't quick enough to get a snap. Driver likes to hoon! Though that means we have to stop all the time to get back on timetable. Ugh. davidfowler2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Uploading pics to the forum sucks. This horrible Wright VDL bus sucks. It has a mahoosive exhaust manifold blow and sod all power. davidfowler2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Seems nice. Went to fill it up and realised I'd lost my wallet. Fortunately discovered this before putting fuel in. Found a bank, cancelled the cards and blagged fifty quid. If it drinks more fuel than that, I'm screwed. mouseflakes, trigger, HillmanImp and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseflakes Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 ^ 'Liked' for the fact you're keeping the tension levels at fever pitch with this latest twist, not because I like to hear you're now a vagrant (in the eyes of the law - or someone).

trigger Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Sucks about the wallet but the Swedish tank looks a mighty fine steed for very little money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meshking Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Mr wobbler has reported a flickering oil light, but 1st volvo delivered. Surely a brave undertaking on Black Friday, or did I get the meaning of today wrong? Sent from my SGP621 using Tapatalk The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig the Princess Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Twitter shows Volvo two has committed suicide because it isn't going to Scotland. No charging going on apparently. davidfowler2000 and cms206 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Volvos are rubbish. Volvo one started flickering its oil pressure light. Volvo two ran out of electricity. Now aboard a Fiat 126 with dinner. Interesting day! Junkman, garethj, Minimad5 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Oh dear, fingers crossed tomorrow is a better day! Was Volvo #1 not just in need of a topup? If the PCV is clogged on the 2.3 they can use a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
