Heidel_Kakao Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 why? eh, i mean..... why??It's art I guess. Better than a dirty bed or a shark in a tank of formaldehyde but I am not really an art connoisseur. Should be a good spectacle at the very least.

BavarianRetro Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I heard on the radio the other day about an art installation. Some "artist" took a dod of granite from the bottom of a quarry in Aberdeenshire (apparently the lowest point in the UK) to the top of Ben Nevis and brought a chuckie from there and lobbed it into the bottom of the quarry.

D Spares & Tyres Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Pointless Give me £30k to waste and I could show you something way more entertaining! Maybe launch 60 real 75s off that rollercoaster? oldcars and STUNO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisbon_road Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Well, it is better than being sane, right? Still, I don't entirely get it. Why not use a real one? I know it is always a shame to see cars destroyed, but there's a fair few 75s going everyday, one wouldn't hurt, would it? £30K?

I have not applied for my refund yet but I have decided I can't be bothered to go to Oslo now. Can I claim compensation? I can cancel my hotel booking for free so the only thing I cannot cancel is my advance train tickets to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lost track of whether you still have one or not? I will be in a green XM estate of either petrol or diesel engine depending on how I feel on the day.

Heidel_Kakao Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I may be going to Oslo after all. That stupid list of cancelled flights shows both of my flights but when I log into my account only my outbound flight has been cancelled as Hairnet says and I can still take an earlier or later outbound flight. I need to toss a coin or something to decide. Screw you Ryanair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
