But for that I would like to have a sit in it in Newcastle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Sealtainn has form, having collected the Granada from me in south London and driving it back to The Shetlands. So wouldn't be surprised if he does the whole trip himself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealtainn Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I’m thinking I really need it with a new MoT as I haven’t got another week off from work till 15th April. Is anyone able to arrange MoT and hold on to it for me till then? I’ll happily send money for repairs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I can relay it from Falkirk to Aberdeen, I just want a shot of it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealtainn Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hopefully plans will fall into place and a collection will take place next week as a fellow lunatic (sorry, enthusiast) has very kindly offered to collect said bucket of magnificence and keep hold of it till I’m able to collect and in the meantime put it to Stevie Wonder Motors for an MoT.

Sealtainn Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I’m thinking that as their appears to be so many masochists on here who want a shot of this fine & noble steed that instead of collecting it myself we could do a 200 leg relay up country or something (if there were enough people willing to, of course).Either that or I’ll collect from Rob or somewhere else if it’s made it’s way further up country.What say you, fellow internet lunatics?

RobT Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've arranged to collect it from Wuv tomorrow, and will try to book an MoT for Wednesday/Thursday. The garage I use are old car friendly and do their best to get them through, so fingers crossed. I'll have a go trying to sort the insecure battery fail before the test. I'm looking forward to wafting back to London in this! The Moog, loserone, Brodders and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Just taken this out to put some petrol in and discovered it has a light-up keyhole in the driver's door. Skizzer, purplebargeken, The Moog and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 If I'd discovered it had a light-up keyhole before I roffled it, the sale would never have been on. eddyramrod, Conrad D. Conelrad, RobT and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
