I'm awake and worrying.

Is it morning yet?

I'm awake and excited but that normally happens first thing in the morning.

 

I am also quite looking forward to seeing how this adventure goes.

 

Good luck!

I'm heading to London today. So tempted to keep heading south! You'll be on your way by the time I get down there though I suspect.

Thanks gents. DW, I'm due in Hastings at 1.30 and may be there a while if you want to pop by.

 

This is the view from Skizzer Global HQ. Too many cars already. Still, never mind, eh?

Things I was worrying about at 4am:

Haven't packed a petrol can.

Have lost my towing pole, need to get one.

BMW or Discovery for towing? (A proper shiter would take the VX 2300.)

What if I fail to rent a trailer?

Bet the seller's lost the V5.

Where's the VIN plate on a Rancho?

What can I delete off my phone if the memory is too full for pictures?

How do you make new sills?

 

Things I wasn't worrying about:

Risk of terrorist attack.

A bomb going off in certain parts of Hastings would cause thousands of pounds worth of improvements.

 

I'd not worry about it either...

Bonne chance brave Mr Skizzer.

 

Quality thread this, guy down the road had one while i was a nipper, i remember my old man dragging his Mig down there once a year to drag it through another MOT. I really remember it standing out in a sea of BL, Ford and Vauxhall tat.

Indeed. There looks to be enough room on the grass for for the two Ranchos from Goldies Boutique too. You could even invite the lady herself over.

In fact, you're already balls-deep in win but if you get a photo of her spreadeagled across the bonnet of your SD1 you would need armbands and a snorkel to avoid drowning in win.

I would also advise thoroughly disinfecting everything she touches afterwards.

It's 14:14 and no live update. There must be some heated discussions going on at Hastings?

The last time this happened was in 1066, consequently about 17,000 people lost their lives for exactly the square root of fuck all.

I expect the worst...

I'm near that area on Saturday. If we haven't heard anything, I'll organise a posse and go searching.

Sierra Base and Matra Rancho in the same year. Just incredible. Where does Autoshite go from here?

After a shitty day at work the news that a Rancho is in the Autoshite fold has cheered me up no end.

 

Looking forward to seeing this at Shitefest 2017!

Wowsers, good work!

Congratulations Martin! I've had to like and unlike your post a number of times just so that i can repeatedly like it many times over.

 

So back on the road with it by the end of the month then yeah?

Usually when somebody on here buys such an ace conveyance I am, somewhat selfishly, more excited for myself than anything as I get to experience much vicarious enjoyment but in this case I am genuinely more excited for you Martin. Many congratulations and I hope the two of you have a happy life together.
