If you manage to get that through a major station and onto a train without at least one MP5 being pointed in your direction , I'll be very surprised.

I do hope you don't look vaguely foreign ,otherwise an orange jumpsuit is the least of your problems, Jean Charles De Menez springs to mind here.

[forddeliveryboy]

Train internet is mean. 15 mins only.

 

So sitting in warm sunshine @ waverley and using station wifi. Cannot find mifi. Will update as best as poss, dunno if Inverurie train is wifi, doubtful.

 

Fine veg beast waiting, collection from station in evo10 whatever that is.

[forddeliveryboy]

Am white British and shaved this morning so poss less chance of any suspicion. The copper staring at me atm is a cardboard cutout.

 

Anyone could be a bad person. Must be a nightmare for the security people. But thanks for the headsup. Mebbe the containers will absorb the bullets.

 

This could make very big bang...

The view earlier, Berwick then into bright sun and blue skies.

[forddeliveryboy]

F'ing nukes. Does Scottish Parliament have any say over them?

 

Polish ticket collector asked about the 'luggage' just now. All's good. His brother runs on waste veg.

They breed very large crabs in the Firth of Forth, but they're very friendly. I see there were a couple of them waving at you from the deep as you sped by.

[forddeliveryboy]

Wobbly as it ever was over the Tay. What the disused station and fenced-off zone a couple of miles south of the crossing? Looks like underground reservoirs or bunkers.

[forddeliveryboy]

[Supernaut]

Doubt it, but I'm only 5mins from the station in Inverurie here at work

 

Yay, a local shiter!

 

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread with interest... He mentions the Inverurie train, so is he going even further north than that? There be dragons.

Wonder what his farts smell like?

[cort1977]

Some proper Teuchter wagons round Inverurie.   I iz excite.

[Supernaut]

I suspect I might live round the corner from you in Aberdeen

 

You don't have an L reg 306 N/A XUD in faded red do you? It's very autoshite and has lived round the corner from me for years.

 

Admittedly, the guy who drives it looks old enough for the advent of computers to have completely passed him by.

[320touring]

330ci and an 8quid accord!

[Supernaut]

No XUD here.

 

Do you live between a quick-fit and a PC World?

 

No, but 17-Coffees does. Have you been seeing his LS400 about and getting confused?

 

I do also park at his flat on ocassion...

[garbaldy]

I is confused first your at a station then Darlington then Newcastle and forth rail bridge then Berwick then torness, are you just riding the trains back and forth for a hoot.

[Supernaut]

No... neither of us are in Inverurie. I'm just in a different bit of Aberdeen about a mile away from 17-Coffees.

 

I do sort of know Inverurie though, as I grew up near Turriff.

 

Anyway, what of forddeliveryboy and his endeavours? He's gone awfully quiet...

[garbaldy]

I wonder if this is a collection for a white car with green blood, I'm a tad curious now and the lack of updates is meaning a late night.

[Lacquer Peel]

He's going the wrong way if it's for FOAD's Xantia.

Autoshite-style I missed the bloody train this morning. Well, it set off 30 seconds early and had its doors locked a full 2 minutes before takeoff. Not happy, but Virgin promised* to help out with the lack of bank balance. There I was, sitting on the platform at Yorruk and discussing the ins and outs of setting off early, with a bewildered young transport plod gazing at the two containers of veg. He never did pluck up the courage to ask.

Aye, friends near that Embra are good hosts. Then family nearer Thirsk, just got in now. It's an owd Audi with the little 90hp lump. Only 134 thousand analogue-recorded miles, a few things to sort but I think basically sound. It woke up a bit as I reminded it how to go rev over 2.5k again. By the time we left the 40mph roadworks (to protect the workforce, who were in bed) on the A1 south of Scotch Corner, it was flying along.

 

[Lacquer Peel]

80 or 100?

[forddeliveryboy]

 

80. With a chassis from the 70s, pretty much. Defintely barely altered since the early 80s - I rather like them. One of the very few shite cars which can last more than a couple of years without major work where I live, if used every day. I appreciate the combo of old-school underpinnings and properly-galved shell, with a frugal but frisky veg-muncher under the bonnet.

 

A splash of Shell to make sure there was no fuel lag in the pipes at vmax. Dundee, I think. 

[forddeliveryboy]

But,

 

 

Worse than it looks. Needs a new one, unless there's a repair section around. Tother side is superficial rust. Annoyingly, I've an 80 wing which has gone where the Merc ones do but is fine round the arch. Not sure if stitch and paste would work.

[garbaldy]

He's going the wrong way if it's for FOAD's Xantia.

I wasn't entirely sure what way he was going,

[garbaldy]

nice Audi Mr
