Event AS in the Community: all steamed up for the New Year

[Pillock]

Totally...

 

Apparently, there is a classic chod auction at Donington Park on 24 Feb.

Shall we shine up our wellies and attend?

I mean, the ones that are still interested in individual transport, that is.

This.

 

It'll be like Cannock with less Daft Old Giffer Auctioneer and more Pound Notes. Also, nearer to me.

[Inspector Morose]

^ I was thinking of visiting Preston soon to look at the bus station...

I also have a hankering to pop to the Isle of Wight to play on the 1938 London tube stock they have instead of proper trains.

[Pillock]

I bloody love AS, I do.

[dollywobbler]

We still on for this folks? Pretty as Bridgenorth is, I've already found myself there on my tod once this year (in pouring rain too).

[Inspector Morose]

Apparently it's not going to rain tomorrow, Ian, so you're safe.

 

Oh, and we'll be there. When I say we, I really mean me. I haven't a clue what anyone else is doing.

[dollywobbler]

If it's just you and the Rover, that'd be worth the trip in itself!

[Inspector Morose]

You can have a go for that! 

[chaseracer]

When I say we, I really mean me. I haven't a clue what anyone else is doing.

 

 

Are you still picking me up in the Sideboard? 

[Inspector Morose]

Time?

[dollywobbler]

Are we still aiming for High Noon?

[Inspector Morose]

At Bridgnorth, yes. Due to the unique velocity of the sideboard, Cannock will have to be somewhat earlier. Due to where I keep the car. My rising out of bed will be somewhat earlier still!

[chaseracer]

Time?

 

You tell me, chief.  I'll be ready for Auntie 

[Lord Sterling]

Met Dodytom today in Cradley and have hopefully convinced him to join us in Bridgnorth tomorrow. As I said, I should be there around 2pm. I shall phone someone in case I can't find any of you (unlikely)

[Inspector Morose]

We'll be at the railway (cliff or otherwise)

[bub2006]

I'll be there

[Inspector Morose]

OH NO!

 

 

[bub2006]

Play nice Mr freeman

[bub2006]

Play nice Mr freeman

[Pillock]

I'm apparently going....

[D Spares & Tyres]

I'll be there

Fuck

 

Where can I buy a dashcam at this hour?

[bub2006]

Don't worry mate your safe

[dollywobbler]

I appear to be up and awake far too early. So, I'm going to head over and see if I can spy a nice spot for perving over the steam train as it heads towards Bridgnorth. *rubs thighs*

[bub2006]

I'm up and about. Well up and watching movies in bed. I'll get up soon as its about 70 mile away

[Pillock]

Yeah, we're heading out shortly after a bacon buttie

[red5]

I'll bring your radio etc Mr 5

 If I'm daddy day-care (looking likely) can you give stuff to Lord Sterling?

 

Cheers.

[bub2006]

Bugger ive forgot it. I'll make a special journey down. Its in back of van and I'm in car. Memory not the best really sorry

[dollywobbler]

My eagerness was rewarded with a bit of line-side parking further along the line.

 

A video of my reward is here. https://twitter.com/dollywobbler/status/682887901567422464

 

Some Autoshiters arrived, so we headed off for a walk around town and to look at the Cliffside Railway. WHICH WAS CLOSED!

 

Thankfully, the mean streets of Bridgnorth provided. Tat. This Triumph was not as good as it looked I don't think.

 

My stupidly slow phone wasn't quick enough for the early 90s (I think) Mercury Cougar. Twas grim. So was this! Inspected Rejected by Autoshiters.

 

Dodgytom's Pennant isn't dodgy at all. I love it.

 

Free van tempted a few...

 

I got a drive in this fine, slow steed. Thanks FPB7! Freewheel FTW and the scary stop.

 

And then I found this lurking on a farm on my joyous drive home. I don't think I travelled in a straight line for longer than quarter of a mile!

[catsinthewelder]

That looks like a brilliant get together, I really did pick the wrong day to be at the other end of the country.

[bub2006]

Great day had. The transit ended up staying at the railway and we ended up at Aberystwyth. Don't ask.
