Possibly a collection thread

[skattrd]

I'm unsure about doing a live thread for today's mission. It would likely be quite dull as it will take me 5hrs to cover 100 miles by public transport. This will involve one bus and four trains with lots of waiting around between them ... The drive home will hopefully take considerably less time. On the plus side the collection should involve a yellow Lancia.

 

So, do you want live postings from the day?

YES!

[montytom]

Do it

[Cavcraft]

100% yes. If anyone votes 'No' or 'Don't care' we'll unleash internet rage level 2.1 on their sorry arse/s.

[Mr Lobster]

It is not a question of whether you should do it or not, it is simply your duty to fulfil the need of the autoshite masses and provide them with an excitement* filled live collection thread.

 

So get on with it.

[bub2006]

Have you left yet?

[skattrd]

Have you left yet?

 

Not yet, my first bus on a Sunday isn't for another half an hour.

[overrun]

Yes.

I want to see this Delta Integrale Evo.

[bub2006]

Ahhh ok well good luck on your venture.

[Six-cylinder]

I would have started yesterday failure as a live collect if only I could work the technology!

[Guest Breadvan72]

Make it so.

[skattrd]

The bus was full and I was slightly late, so no bus pics.

I am now here:

 

 

Where I have half an hour to wait for the next train.

[skattrd]

Yes.

I want to see this Delta Integrale Evo.

It is merely a 2wd 2nd Gen Delta I'm going for, thinking about it they're probably rarer than Integrales in this country though.

[skattrd]

Tickets bought and train boarded.

 

[dugong]

Thrilling velour upholstery is thrilling. I am enjoying this.

[Asimo]

Are you nearly there yet?

Any Lancia is a worthy steed in my book.

Do love that yellow on them.

[spike60]

If it's the Ebay one it looks very tidy, hope it all turns out well for you. I like Italian stuff but never stepped up for a Lancia yet.

Whilst taking the second pic I noticed an train arrive that may get me to my destination quicker. A hasty run across the bridge and I am now on an East coast train hopefully going in the right direction.

[skattrd]

Oops the first image was supposed to be the train that took me to Newark, this one:

 

 

 

Anyway, I am on a train going in the right direction, I either get to my destination quicker or have 1hr to kill at my next stop.

[skattrd]

Third time lucky?

 

[skattrd]

I tried, but no earlier train, so I now have 50 minutes to kill in Doncaster.

[bub2006]

Is there much in Doncaster? Cant say I have ever been.

[skattrd]

 

Doncaster is grim but at least I have plenty time for food before crossing the Pennines.

[320touring]

Good work!needs more gurning faces though!

[skattrd]

As requested :

 

 

Here's one of Doncaster station in all its glory

 

[Richard]

Just this guy

 

[skattrd]

Train boarded, next stop Stockport.

The seats on this train are purple, see...

 

[skattrd]

Today's reading material matches the seat quite well:

Tickets bought and train boarded.
