crapcarcollector Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Collection next Saturday that will involve the trailer and 250 miles. Yes! I've bought my 2nd broken Alfa Romeo GTV this month. I think I need to lie down. If I win the rover raffle tonight I may be in trouble.

crapcarcollector Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Righto, On the last occasion I tried to do a live collection thread, I delegated duties to Mrs CrapCarCollector as I was driving. It went well*. Due to the fact I learn from my mistakes and her unhappiness is my concern, we are going to try to do this in exactly the same way as perviously, only instead of an 80 mile round trip, this one is 500. Should you receive a further update it will be from Mrs CCC. *She didn't do live updates, shouted when I refused to go the way she was directing, turning a 2hr journey into 5. Pretty sure she didn't speak to me for a couple of days..... D Spares & Tyres and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that scouring pad looking thing next to the bread roll, it looks like a deep fried weetabix?

Pillock Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Let's guess from the shape of the door mirror and door handle, and the reflection of the dashboard on the windscreen. P38 Range Rover? Edit: No, the back window looks slopey. Pull-out door handles rather than lift up. Ford? I'm also looking forward to the arguments developing in a public forum about which way to go. Crack on! Shouldn't you have come off at the last junction or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crapcarcollector Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Stopped at Newport Pagnall for some lunch. No more Maccy D's today. I see that Mrs CCC has at least made an effort in posting this time although I'm not sure the cows qualify. Trailer dragger in my CRV daily which should hit 180,000 this journey, let's see if Mrs CCC keeps up with that.
