Found that one as well, and was just about to suggest when dink said it was not red.

 

Also found a nice Mazda, but that was back up towards North Wales, so seemed the wrong way..

 

Waiting with baited breath.

Great thread, Ive spent a bit of time investigating and come up with this Skoda Fabia?

 

[hairnet]

two hours from brizzle it wont be wales itll be cornwall or north devon somewhere eek

[Sloth in a bowl]

So are we aiming for Exeter or Sawnsea? This has all the hallmarks of a G7 thriller and we will still have part 2 'The Return Journey' to come.

[Skizzer]

You're not coming to see me, are you?  Did I get pished up and sell something? 

[HillmanImp]

To travel all that was its got to be something that you could not get for £600 in Huddersfield (i.e. its a bargain or rare).

 

As he is suggesting that it is new, has put in an offer (its not auction etc) I am going to have a punt on this:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-MAZDA-6-SPORT-SILVER-/261364077844

 

Or this:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-HONDA-CR-V-ES-AUTO-BLUE-/251414785500

 

Although I have no idea if they really are bargains or not. They are in my eyes though. 

 

I have gone towards Exeter though. I could have gone in the wrong direction. 

[HillmanImp]

Can I also add that whilst this is a GR12 thread it is setting a new bar for collection threads that is so modern and dynamic, using up to date technology such as 'wifi' and 'phones with cameras' that the average Autoshiter will probably not be able to replicate this in any way without their head exploding. 

[phil_lihp]

2 hours would put him in Devon if he's going that way, I'd guess he's a classy chap and therefore has won this.

Or if he isn't...

[phil_lihp]

As he hasn't responded to this thread in 2 hours this most likely means he's either lost in the middle of nowhere, has no wifi, has no mobile data signal or a combination of all 3.  Definitely in Devon.  He'll also be getting very very wet.

[Pillock]

I want this to turn into some kind of Treasure Hunt style affair with pins in a map at the Autoshite Control Room, and dink yelling "have you seen a clue?" at confused members of the public as he leaps off a train

Maybe his mobile device is suffering from the usual (well for me anyway) flat battery. Mine is spectacularly shite.

If he is in Wales and waiting for 3G it will be a while yet....

[Dave_Q]

Hi all, am still alive, thanks for your concern.

 

Final destination was here.

 

 

Which means we have a winner!

Hertz wins 1 internet detective badge, its the 2 tone fabia.

 

No pics of it as its dark and pissing down, the ebay pictures will have to do for now.

 

Hope the car doesn't fill everyone with too much disappoint.

 

Am filling my face at bridgewater services then off back to the lovely north with an eta of about 10pm.

[Ghosty]

 

Reason for sale is that i am too much of a snob to drive a multi coloured car with a crinkly bottom!

That is the best reason for selling I've ever heard.

[Junkman]

off back to the lovely north with an eta of about 10am, when the AA lorry driver finally drops it into my driveway.

EFA

[DSdriver]

I was rather hoping for a nice pic of Anneka Rice's Bum somewhere in this thread, but never mind its been amusing so far. Good luck with the journey home and congrats on the purchase.

[Disco Fever]

Am filling my face at the village of the damned

Further EFA.

[phil_lihp]

Ahh, Bridgewater Services.  Parking spaces almost big enough for a real car!

[DSdriver]

Cheers In_the_pit I am enjoying 2014 immensely.

[Hertz]

Did I win something? Blimey there's a first! Great purchase and no doubt worth the epic collection effort.

 

I am however bemused that the seller didn't paint the roof after going through the pain and effort of painting most of the car. Did he run out of paint or have you bought it from that Warwick fella that played the Ewok? Very strange, won't lose any sleep over it like but very strange....

I hope to christ your'e not with vodafone - I am becoming worried about the remoteness of your destination.

 

You could climb up a vodafone mast, mobile in hand, and still get no fucking reception.

[Dave_Q]

And I'm back. No breakdown services required.

The previous owner had a silver one before that the cambelt went on. All the bolt on panels were swapped over from that as she preferred silver, the only bits that have been painted are the sides/rear quarters where it was damaged when she got it, from a jackknife caravan incident.

Will probably do the roof to match although its not my top priority.

Now sleep.

[HMC]

Glad you got back without any bother. You could leave it as is for a fabia harlequin look

[Forty-two]

Happy end to an 'Autoshite Live!'
