I had the following conversation with my good lady this morning. 

 

Me: So, Duncan (my mate who owns half the MR2) and I have bought a new engine for the MR2, I'm picking it up tomorrow after work.

 

Mrsdome: Oh, OK.

 

Me: It comes in a handy portable storage container. With 4 wheels.

 

Mrs Dome: I thought you weren't buying another car?

 

Me I'm not, I'm buying half an engine that just happens to still be in the car, for the moment.

 

Somehow I survived that one...

 

Collection on for tomorrow afternoon. I'm rubbish at collection threads compared to the old hands on here but it involves 3 trains and me trying to get 200 miles back with the new chariot in time for last orders at Scotoshite. In a car I've just bought with an MOT that can be measured using an egg timer. WCPGW?

Very well played on your explanation to the Mrs!

 

Look forward to seeing it tomorrow night.

Very well played. Stating that Duncans name first seems like you are the innocent party doing him a favour!

All set for a 1320 departure from Dalmeny heading North.

Last orders for food 9pm.

 

Hmmm

Sadly not, light weight is the key.

I just sent my usual message about "Can I hear it from cold" to which the reply was "That's fine, it's not moved in months."

 

Here's hoping he has jump leads. 

 

I am travelling light on this mission tool wise. And by light I mean nothing....

3.5 hours north, hmm?

 

I'll keep an eye out. :D

I can see what I think is a distant 6 series?

Nailed it. It's a 635 that's been abandoned. I dread to think it's fate

Made it to Armadale for about half 9, I stopped in Perth for some food though.

 

Report to follow in the morning but basically: it's bloody tidy and although I feel a wee bit bad about breaking it it's not half the car a Type R or a Clio 1*2 is.

 

The engines going somewhere far more suited to it

I couldn't get over just how low-geared mine was. Intrigued to see the evolution of your Roadster.
