Six-cylinder Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Not much car wise to report this holiday, my lazy/play it safe streak saw me take the Range Rover to drive the 200 miles to visit Mrs6C’s parents in Wales. Mrs6C is staying in Wales a little longer so our XM also got a trip to Wales. Originally the plan was we would go down in one car and Mrs6C would drive back her father’s Berlingo face lift for us to sell for him. This was because his original MK1 Berlingo was running fine again, but now it isn’t so he is going to hold onto the face lift for now. Baged a couple of models for Christmas but not really my Scale. I was advised as it was going to rain overnight I should move the RR across the ford or it would become challenging, I did not move it until the morning but it did not become challenging at all. When I got home I had to repair the firebox in our Rayburn stove before I could light it. Dig out some broken Firebrick and add fire cement was really all that I did but I cannot put two hands and a light in as I would have liked through the firebox door. ( more husband and wife communications this time with 200 miles between us, Mrs6C did you see there was a bad derailment at Harpers Ferry) LightBulbFun, Mrs6C and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs6C choose the XM but my second choice to the RR would have been the CLK 320 because of the extra punch it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 When I was in Lansing in 2016 there was some sort of comicon-type event going on in the city and all the central hotels were booked up so I ended up staying in a motel on the outskirts, right by the railway line. The PAAAAARP PAAAAAARP PARP PAAAAAAAAAAARP of the incoming CSX freight train at 6.30am each morning made an interesting alternative to an alarm clock.

Zelandeth Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Didn't realise there was a railway line and crossing behind the restaurant we were in up north (think we were a few hours north of Macinac) and when I walked out the door I was greeted by the train that was just approaching the crossing blasting the horn. I must have got a good few feet of air given how far it made me jump. Hooooooolly hell they are loud up close... Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about taking it to a small show tomorrow at Weedon, but the battery was flat so it is now on charge. Thinking about timings I will have to take the new swap or it will finish as I get there, although it is a bit young at 18 years old really.
