[panhard65]

Oh dear

[Faker]

Ah nutts!

 

Congrats panhard

[panhard65]

Looks like I might have a little ride out then. Will it drive down to Somerset ?

[Jim Bell]

Well played PH.

[theorganist]

Yes it will do. It will be a little noisier than normal due to the exhaust blowing but I would have no hesitation driving to Somerset in it.

Ok are you busy tomorrow ?? I will have a chat with my better half and see if she can give me a lift. I should really ask whereabouts is it first though.

[scaryoldcortina]

Thank God for that. My not getting murdered streak continues!

I am from around 3 till 6 in the afternoon, being Advent Sunday it is a busy day for me with organ playing and singing.

 

It is Stourbridge in the West Midlands, postcode DY8 1EY

Glad its going to a fettler of epic proportions!

 

Nice one:) bit close for comfort for me..

[panhard65]

Ok I might leave it until next weekend then if thats ok as I would rather drive back in daylight. I will pm for details

[theorganist]

Yes that's fine, whatever suits you best.

[theorganist]

Just wanted to say thank you to all those who took part and those who have showed interest.

 

I am relieved that it will be going to a new and good home.

[HillmanImp]

Phew with a slight hint of disappointment.

[vulgalour]

YES!  Another raffle lost.  I'm the best at this game.

[panhard65]

Well I will be leaving shortly to collect my prize. Fingers crossed I have more luck collecting this beige classic than I did the last one (Cavalier mk2) that ran the big end brearings 2 miles from home. I am sure the little Talbot will be fine though, although I have no idea what to do with it. Probably just a sort out of the niggles then pass it on. The collection thread will be pretty crap mind as I haven't got my camera with me and my phone is only really any good as a phone rather than these modern things that are all singing and dancing.

[eddyramrod]

Well done there PH65!

 

And thank goodness, it could have so easily been one number lower....

Disappointing.

 

How about doing some "courtroom art" style sketches to depict the trials and tribulations of the collection instead?

 

 

 

[DeeJay]

Is that supposed to be Paul Mccartney in the last pic and the famous automatic driver?

[Wilko220]

Yep.

 

Here's another celeb...

 

 

Sorry this is a bit OT!

[Richard]

Is that supposed to be Paul Mccartney in the last pic and the famous automatic driver?

 

The other two pictures are DLT and Mark Bridger.

[DeeJay]

I would have gone for Howard Shipman in pic 2.

[Richard]

It's definitely DLT, I did a reverse image search.

[Richard]

Shipman was my first thought too though.

[panhard65]

Well the collection thread would of been really boring. I got a lift there collected the car and drove home with no issues or anything to worry about. I still haven't opened the bonnet. With a bit of luck I will get a bit of time tomorrow to have a proper look at it. There is some interesting wildlife growing in the carpet that needs dealing with but other than that it drives great.

[barefoot]

It drives great?

 

Everything is relative, it's a thirty five year old eleven hundred!
