[Timewaster]

Cherry? F11 or naughty diesel?

UNINTERESTING UPDATE!

 

We aren't there yet.

 

To satisfy your need for something, have a random picture of some train station in London.

I must say the absence of pictures of regional pastry & meat comestibles is very disappointing. There isn't even a poo count.

Fear not as I have more fake train table wood. Can you guess which train service my battery died on?

 

[spartacus]

A shit one with no charging facilities?

Are you there yet?

[Negative Creep]

Come on now, he is making a journey by train. Getting there the same day in which you set off is a bit unreasonable

[Cavcraft]

Red coupe with dead nice alloys?

[Faker]

Are you there yet??!!! WTF!! Update, this thread needs pics!

[Brodders]

We are, but the journey is now complete. I have got home, recharged the phone and successfully got the all important petrol station shot.

 

So let's start from where I was unable to communicate with you anymore, The train had just left Milton Keynes when I noticed that the telephone had around 20% of the battery left. Thankfully, Virgin trains were kind enough to have provided charging facilities, which were right in front of me. There was a moment of satisfaction were I realised that by the time we got to New Street for the next change, the phone would be fully charged and I would be good to show you the acres of "wood" on the next stage of the journey. This was shortly followed by a moment of horror which resulted in me pulling a face that anyone who has seen the bank job scene in "Heat" would notice was rather similar to the expression that Val Kilmer made as soon as he saw the police outside, but I digress.

 

Even though I had several things in my bag, such as a pair of socks, some cheap pens and a can of Old Spice, I had no charger. Fuck.

 

Anyway, the journey continued until New Street without any other significant issues, apart from being unable to find any toilets, which resulted in me having to cross my legs from Coventry until the desired stop.

 

After posterior made contact with porcelain, we continued our journey onto Dudley, a place famous for being the birthplace of Lenny Henry (and yes, I did have to use Wikipedia to find something interesting to say about the place) where some money was exchanged and I used the final remnants of the battery securing an action money shot.

 

 

The journey home progressed without issue, apart from a downpour which turned the outside lane of the A14 into a huge lake. However, the journey had several enjoyable moments, most of which involved overtaking people in BMW's and watching them storm past us in fury at being overtaken by something that wasn't a bigger BMW.

 

Anyway, the thing I have learned today is that live collection threads are hard. I now have an increased amount of respect for those who actually do them well, which is something I didn't do. In the future I shall use one of my phones that can hold a charge, and I shall do a post like this afterwards.With some decent pictures that aren't of fake wood.

 

 

Shit, there wasn't anything really to do with the car itself in that. It is a 2001 Rover 75 1.8 Connoisseur, which means that there may be some more K-Series capers on here, and another Rover 75 to join the ranks, so watch this space.

 

PS: If anyone wants to see any more of it, I will post some pictures up tomorrow as I am now tucking into a steak and some garlic potatoes.

 

 

[Faker]

Pics of steak please!

[HillmanImp]

I came here to see Datsuns.

[Faker]

That looks like a really tidy barge

[Faker]

However...... I too was expecting one of these beauts

[Brodders]

True, I had thought there were links to that, but unfortunately smutty innuendo won over sophisticated wit.

[Brodders]

Pics of steak please!

 

Its in my stomach, you can see the other ones in the fridge though.

 

Or you can see bits of it tomorrow or Monday if you want.

[the judge]

Let us see the results of peristalsis and elimination from the human body. Garlic spud plop ahoy.

 

So,what engine? Miles? Leather?

[Jim Bell]

My money is on peztril 1.8 turbo auto. Bit I hope it's a dorty deesil.

[r.welfare]

He's already said 1.8 - I was worried his last photo was the contents of the header tank but it's garlic spuds instead I think.

[Jim Bell]

You ruined my hope.

[phil_lihp]

Now how is that for a coincidence? Y266 TOV is currently sat outside my house as I've borrowed it from my boss until the Octavia has a full set of windows again. It's a 2.5KV6 though in light green, must have been registered very soon after yours at the same dealer.

 

Looks alright from here, I can only imagine how slow the 1.8 is though as the V6 is no ball of fire!

"After posterior made contact with porcelain," on a technical note, why were you shitting in a urinal ? Nice motor though !!

[UltraWomble]

I was hoping it might be the Autoshite bike...

That is the very same* question that the guy at the urinal next to me asked. I told him to piss off, I was trying to read the newspaper.

 

Not seeing a toilet since London can make a person most disagreeable.

As Meat Loaf said, two out of three ain't bad.

 

It is a 1.8, but it is a non-turbo manual.

[Brodders]

Now with fresh pictures.

 

 

And more wood.
