dollywobbler Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's dark and I'm trying to summon up the energy to get up. Yes, it's collection caper time once more!The destination is Devon. The purchased steed is Phil_lihp's Honda Prelude in desirable* 2-litre beater slush box form. Stage one of the journey will be 12 miles to Aberystwyth and the start of a long day on the train. I look forward to checking out the vastly overhauled New Street in Birmingham.Should be collecting the car just after six pm and staying in Devon overnight. Tomorrow, I'll be diverting via Hereford to collect barrels and piston rings for the Dyane. This therefore entirely justifies the trip as I can do two things at once.Mrs DW really wasn't very happy last night but it appears I'm on safer ground today. Phew. As long as I don't lose a load of money on it...I'll do my best to live report, but getting photos onto here really isn't easy on my phone. I'll do my best!

Skizzer Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 God speed, sir. What a joyously different journey it would be if only I could get my brilliant* plan for a Mumbles-to-Minehead ferry off the ground. chaseracer, dollywobbler and mouseflakes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joyously different journey it would be if only I could get my brilliant* plan for a Mumbles-to-Minehead ferry off the ground. When we moved, there was talk of Swansea to Ilfracombe. Sadly, there wasn't enough interest to make it a go-er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 22 minutes late but on a Pendelino. It can make the time up I assume. Next stop is all the way down at Cheltenham. Where I'm meant to change seats slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Whatever you do, don't get out at Cheltenham. Bad things always happen in Cheltenham, at least they do to me. Junkman and anonymous user 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Indeed. It's been shite since Brum to be honest. Have almost flattened by jump pack trying to keep the phone in juice. About 15 mins away. My go quiet as I've got to dash off to see my parents as soon as I have the car. Coprolalia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
