Project Memoirs from the Hard Shoulder - 20th March

[BorniteIdentity]

Truck ahoy.

 

 

Heading off early tomorrow as the garage are insistent that the truck is back by 3.30pm. Now to break that news to our helpers. Hoping to be at the car at 0930 (!)

Shouldn't have a problem loading on that.

Probably get 2 on it.

Still happy to help if needed, I'm quite an early bird these days anyhow, just let me know either way.

That's a bit posh! It'll go on fine. It will probably bottom out a bit when the back of the truck drops down but take some bits of wood to put under the Mini wheels and it'll be fine!

Posh AF. Got a remote control winch AND a beacon!

 

I was deeply, deeply interested in towing it by Sherpa, and am so grateful to Beep for the offer. But, it’s a long way from his and I don’t like being a pain in the arse.

 

Actually, I do - but that’s another story.

I don't want to know what you do to Mrs Bornite, thank you.

Who said anything about M...

 

Best we leave it.

 

Thanks again for all the support and help; it’s been overwhelming!

[mat_the_cat]

Is it Sunday yet?

 

Looking forwards to the collection!

Meh,  I just see it as an excuse to get out of the house on a Sunday morning and dribble over another old motor. 

 

This is the boot of my car now in anticipation of moving a v smoll  car from a v smoll garage.......

 

 

I had to stop myself from getting carried away and bringing the big tools.

 

 

 

In all seriousness. I am sure that there is not an individual on this site that wouldn't go as far as they sensibly could to help you and yours with the recovery and restoration of this vehicle. Which in my opinion is...

 

 

 

This place etc.

Good luck tomorrow, looking forward to seeing it on your way home!

Can’t wait! Good luck chaps.

[HMC]

Great! I Was hoping it would be collected by big William in a converted Bedford VAL but I’ll let you off.

 

Looking forwards to Sunday’s updates!

[danthecapriman]

Good luck tomorrow chaps, hope it all goes as well as possible. Make sure you get plenty of pics!

[dozeydustman]

Good luck tomorrow with your kolexun kaypa bornite. If the mini makes it to an AS event, bags a drive!

[BorniteIdentity]

Going to live tweet a bit. No need to copy pics over here tho, I’ll do a full write up tonight with the usual florid claptrap you’ve come to love and expect.

Was reading the story on the BBC News national website where it is now in the Top 10 Most Read, and thought, sure I've seen that early base model Sierra on AS recently...

 

Great story and hope all goes/is going well.

[beko1987]

Oooh look your famous now!

[Crusty Sills]

Good luck. I'm near Attleborough just off the A11 if refreshment/piss break is required.

Watching on Twatter as well!

Needs more Autoshite product placement me thinks.

[MorrisItalSLX]

Good god, what have I started!

 

I must admit, I’m getting very excited. Bring on the collection!
