NICE CAR M8, BIT FAR AWAY 4 ME THO

[Dave_Q]

I've had my current vehicle for nearly a year now, which is far too long by my reckoning. I've fixed everything that's wrong with it now, and that's just BORING.

 

Something cheap popped up on ebay last night, it was local* so I wanged in a cheeky offer.

 

Now I'm sure I'm meant to be in bed with a hangover, but I'm a miserable bar steward so I was in bed by half 10. Nothing better on today so I'm off to collect.

 

Stage 1 starts at Huddersfield train station.

 

 

[Split_Pin]

Nice one, was in bed by half ten last night too reading my Citroen book. Keep us posted.

[Cavcraft]

If this involves an airport I'm going to be even more impressed.

[Dave_Q]

Stage 1 complete.

 

 

NYE casualties having a comfy sleep on the train.

 

I then had to walk across Manchester to get on a bus. The most interesting thing I saw was this bike.

 

 

Stage 2 involves a Megabus to somewhere outside bristol.

 

I have breakfast, so all is well.

The suspense is killing me

Ill have a plane, a boat and customs to snap on the 17th

[Sloth in a bowl]

do we start searching ebay and Bristol to prempt the purchase reveal?

Autoshite LIVE

 

I think we need more live tat collections.

 

I'm guessing that's the last we'll hear from Dink from a while as a bus from Manchester - Bristol will take a while

[Dave_Q]

The megabus has wifi!

 

Although all I can actually report is that the toilet is out of service, yet it still stinks of toilet.

 

If anyone wants to play detective, I had a best offer of 600 quid accepted on the vehicle in question, which is a bit modern to be proper autoshite really.

 

Also its not in Bristol.

[Jim Bell]

I bet it's red.

[Sloth in a bowl]

My first guess is.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-VAUXHALL-ASTRA-CLUB-8V-BLACK-CHEAP-CAR-/151199134147?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item23342bb1c3

 

[Sloth in a bowl]

Though bang on £600, not in Bristol and in red we have... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RELIABLE-AND-SPACIOUS-TOYOTA-AVENSIS-1-8-SE-IN-GOOD-CONDITION-HPI-CLEAR-/121244202366?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c3ab7b57e

 

 

Which looks very tidy for £600

[Sloth in a bowl]

Finished auctions within £550 and £650 and 25 miles of Bristol City football ground

For maximum road-trip heroics, I think it has to be this:

[ruffgeezer]

Was stage one getting noshed off by a NYE casualty in a grubby, dimly lit form of public transport? If so I've been doing it wrong all this time!

[Dave_Q]

Noshings = 0.

 

Slight delay to the journey when a bunch of orrible gurning scallies got on at brum and proceeded to delay the bus leaving to wait for their mates.

 

Said mates hadn't arrived after a 5 min delay so we went anyway despite the protests.

 

There are a good few minutes between legs 2 and 3 so it won't be a problem.

 

None of the guesses so far are correct. The vehicle is shamefully modern - its on a 52 plate.

[brickwall]

C'mon.....waiting!!!!

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Maybe this

Sorry to go off piste, but is there a for sale link for this Ovlov, or is it just a random interwebz photo? 

As for the OP, intrigued as to what it is...

[hairnet]

galaxy diesel?

 

mundano ghia

[Jim Bell]

I still bet its red.

[Dave_Q]

Got off the megabus at the glamourous* university of western England.

 

 

Short hike to bristol parkway station, during which I spotted this lovely LDV in AS war paint.

 

 

Just 2 more hours on a train and I'll be there.

 

It's not red.

[Jim Bell]

GOD DAMNIT!!!!

 

great thread though. Loving the suspense.

Well my guess is:

If it is that Saxo I wouldn't be getting of the train at the end if I was you!

 

[Cavcraft]

It must be way past Bristol if he's still got 2 hours to go on the train.

[Grundig]

Ah thanks for the info, seems a barg. 

Back to the main thread, I also hope it isn't the Paxo.
