dollywobbler Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 It's a nice idea, but I've sort-of done that by lining up and blind purchase for the drive home. It is already insured (sadly with Bishop Calways as I need business use on it) so now I just need to hand over the money and drive home, hoping I haven't just bought an utter shitter. loserone and somewhatfoolish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Good luck DW. Watching with bated breath as usual. Blind purchases are the way forward. I'm doing one myself on Saturday! cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Given the fact that there might be snow, and that NE Shiters seem generally to be a nice bunch, I'm giving serious though to just stopping over somewhere on Saturday night and driving back rather more leisurely the next day. Would be nice to have a natter rather than rushing off immediately. We'll see what the day brings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm in Chester le Street,WW is in north shields,SoC and L1 are Durham-ish.Newcastle holds Mr Savvy And there's a fair few more people nearby too. If there were to be a Saturday afternoon / early evening meet, or even Sunday morning, would anyone attend? Let's say Gateshead-ish, much as I hate the metro centre it is probably fairly central, another option might be if people wanted to take a look at the steampunk stuff at locomotion this weekend, or a trip to look at the North Sea, because it's wet and has fish and chips. Edit: weather permitting, obviously; Yellow weather warning for Friday night for snow / ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
