SAAB C900i

[laser wheels]

Okay so bollock brain missed his train. New tickets have been purchased and I have been in touch with FOAD so we are still on course just not as soon as I would have liked. Currently having a skinny latte waiting for train. Worst case I get to mooch around Edinburgh for a bit...

Worst case I get to mooch around Edinburgh for a bit...

Apologies in advance!

[cort16]

Could be worse, it could be Glasgow.

[Taff]

Could be worse, it could be Glasgow.

 

or Cardiff

[cort16]

It's a pity you're not still selling the Sierra I'm sure we could have done some kind of exchange program.

Is it just me or is getting the train needlessly complicated?

That depends- does the 'train' have wings and a nice man who wants to see your special wee book that says you are allowed oot to play?

 

If yes-you're likely at an airport. Hth

If Edinburgh Waverly is involved, then yes, yes it is!

[laser wheels]

On the way now. How do I know when I'm in Scotland?

[RMAC190e]

The wid will pick up, and it will start raining horizontally

[laser wheels]

It has to be said it is looking a bit grey. Nice scenery, though.

You will see haggis running about and endless Volvo's.

[barefoot]

The haggis bit is bollocks.

You'll not see a single one, the fuckers are all hiding behind the endless Volvo's

[tooSavvy]

I snored thru 'how its made' at zero o'clock thismorning

 

How they make haggis

 

.. now, somehow REMEMBER that bit! but wouldn't eat one

Better to have your mishaps on the way there than on the way back man.

[cort16]

You'll feel an overwhelming urge to take the money you have for the Saab and go and piss it up against the wall as is the tradition of Scottish Dads at Christmas.

[laser wheels]

And lo and behold the first car I see in Scotland is... an elderly Volvo estate.

[laser wheels]

I have now arrived in The People's Democratic Republic of Scotland (PDRS).

[DodgyBastard]

I'll be picking you up in this!

[laser wheels]

On the last leg now...

[laser wheels]

I hath arrived!

[hairnet]

[doobietoo]

Did you remember your star trek translator??

Turn dial on, from 'savvySpeak', or you'll get confussed.

[DodgyBastard]

Any updates? Last I saw was this...

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I love the 'FOAD WORKS' facility, looks mega ace

[DodgyBastard]

I love foadworks hq but our landlord is a Fucking cunt so we'll be moving tomorrow.

[laser wheels]

I'm back!

 

I actually got back to Newcastle just before 6pm without a hitch - well, all except my EPIK DRIFT YO* on the A720 Edinburgh Bypass   - but only just got back in the house just now. I'm cream crackered so I'll save the updates till tomorrow. Soz for collection thread fail, too, as sadly my phone died before I even made it back across the border. ALL MODERN PHONES IS RUBBISH.

 

*Seriously. There's nothing quite like holding up 2 lanes of dual carriageway while you slide to a halt against the central reservation in a cloud of front tyre smoke. I HAZ SKILLZ TO PAY TEH BILLZ!

[jonathan_dyane]

I have to ask; how the fuck do you spin a c900? They have to be one of the most safe and predictable handling cars of evah!
