Scotoshite VOLVO MASSIV Live Collection

Salutations!

This is currently coming live from the rear of David Fowler's 740 estate. Day started with the arrival of Andy CMS in his 940, then a switch over to the 740 for the journey south. So far it's going well but the M6 was closed earlier due to snow...

It'll be fine!

Kettle full, bacon and choice of bread available!

Snow!? No wonder you lot up there all drive Volvos.

I'm just about to start moving heaps around to get the guvnor's CLK out so she can have the roof down when we go out to lunch.

 

If and when you get independence ,you can have custody of the top( cold) bit of England as well.

Snow.....pah!

Tebay is a fine place

This is great. Just need the thread to automatically update like one of those BBC live blog things they do during the budget, election results, major sports events, etc... 

[Spiny Norman]

It's been red hot up here for the last couple of months, now.

No flooding, either!

The convolvoy has just left.  One happy new owner, with directions to the Shell station, and two happy cohorts.  I've filled them full of bacon butties so they shouldn't need to eat for an hour or so.

You won't get a live thread out of me tomorrow!  But once I get home, I'll write up the trip.  It'll be a fraction of the epic these guys are doing.

Sorry I missed you lot today, I was hoping to get across to Eddy's to see y'all, eat bread & pigs, and witness the northwards departure of the latest V-brick. Hope you enjoy it Adrian_RML.

 

With any luck I'll see Eddy tomorrow when he calls in here on the way home with his latest purchase.

Not from; TO.  Which is rather less rare, apparently.

It sure did 'cos the thermostat is jammed WIDE open and the only time the engine got any heat in it was going up the pass. We let both of them idle at the top for a while while we got some snaps (To follow).

Ha! This thread coincided with me going through a load of old photos...I think this is from around September 1999.
