Dollywobbler's Omegawd - Cruisin' (old people can do it too)

[timolloyd]

Been looking forward to this all week.

When I next log in here, I hope to see an Omega in front of a Welsh sunset!

[bub2006]

We are all praying for you DW!

[dollywobbler]

It'll have to pass first time if I'm to make it in time for a sunset.

[smellypoo]

That MK3 Golf looks cracking, when looked at in black and white it could pass for a Harlequin edition!

 

Good luck with the collectioneering!

[Jim Bell]

Best of luck dude.

[Lankytim]

Don't let us down, Wobbler.

[AMC Rebel]

Good luck

Having sussed that I can grab photos from my blog very easily, I can attempt a modicum of well, if not live, then not too horribly outdated.

 

On arrival in Filton, I spotted a Jaguar.

 

Then we got to the road where I'm staying. YES!

Fuck me, I cycled past that LT on my way to the pub last night - we could've met up after all!  I was in a post-"work appraisal" grump though, so it was probably for the best.

 

Good luck today!

[mrbenn]

Good luck! Looking forward to this.

Over excited and awake since 5am. It's like being a kid at Christmas! Hope Santa isn't about to shit on my dreams.

You'll be fine, the car will be fine!

Give them brakes a good work out before the test. The ones on the Volvo have all cleaned off and free'd up with a bit of exercise. I think if it fails it'll be on something fairly straight forward.

 

Good luck with it and I can't wait to see how you get on.

[BorniteIdentity]

Never have I seen such a sight.  A bunch of blokes foaming at the gash over a ruddy Omega! 

 

I love this place. It feels like home.

[Pillock]

All looking alright so far judging by The Twitter. Nice cars, these, I'm jealous.

[garbaldy]

So I take it from that /\ we are last to know again.

Come on dolly where's the updates.

[Bobthebeard]

Agreed....

I really need to go out soon/now!

Am waiting in for an update though.

[Twiggy]

The suspense is killing me !

[Pillock]

It's all on The Twitter (which you don't need to log in to) and Hubnut (ditto). Turns out the Omega had a dead body in the boot, the police have been called, Dobbler is currently being interviewed.

 

Or not.

[Twiggy]

So who is Janet Ellis ? ? ?

[Jim Bell]

The news is in on social media. And the result will shock you.

[Bobthebeard]

Arrrgh!

[gadgetgricey]

Not that bad for a fail.

 

not sure what options re the fuel leak. Could you put something around it that could not be moved during the MOT????

I think DW was already aware of the other two

[riek]

there's some real belters seen floating around that part of Bristol including a renault 4 van, a yellow mk1 astra and a minty W plate volvo  240 estate

[oldcars]

Shame, wonder what the plan is now?

So who is Janet Ellis ? ? ?

 

 

It's possible DW had a teenage crush on her back in the 1980s.  I know I did.

[They_all_do_that_sir]

That's pretty good, depending on what the fuel issue is there's nor a huge amount of work there

That looks easy to fix

[dollywobbler]

Currently trying to find someone to fix it. Think I have. More as the situation develops. This is turning into a right caper! Which is all the more fun really.

 

I may have to deploy my extra pants. I did bet on not making it home tonight.

Is this not social meeja I thought it was,

And what's with Janet ellis

[spartacus]

She was mint in her time...

Are we talking about 'fixing' her, or something else. Do I need to start making puns based on 'tool' and 'lube', etc.
