The Moog Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Its valentine's weekend, love is all around so to celebrate two shiters are taking an international collection mission. It is a famously* reliable* car that currently needs putting back together. WCPGW. It will also include a visit to other shiters for gearbox shenanigans. Should be fun* UltraWomble, Junkman, Jim Bell and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernMonkey Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Err, before anyone jumps to any conclusions, can I just point out that my learned friend ommited to mention that the aforementioned shiters will in actual fact be accompanied on this ‘mission’ by their respective better halves. A foursome in fact, by any other name. But not like that. I thank you. The Moog, Exiled_Tat_Gatherer, Jim Bell and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 A foursome in fact, by any other name. But not like that. Just have a drink and loosen up, see how it goes.

Supernaut Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Gearbox shenanigans, eh? Is FPB7 involved? I won't say what car it is, but I think I have an idea. It may be currently located fairly near me, too. Or I'm barking up totally the wrong tree. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just bring it back the same way it arrived where it is, at 45mph for about 300 miles! I achieved my best ever average mpg in any car on that trip, 57mpg! Rowing between 5th and 6th depending on the gradient of the road!
