Event SF17 - Bubble Car Museum: insert photos/memories here

[beko1987]

Ooh classic car weekly! Someone give me a heads up and I'll hide the gooner.

 

Apparently it's half term too, so on Friday I can leave after breakfast, get to dad's for 11, then be at the museum early afternoon, rather than leaving at 4pm and getting the hammer down to get past Milton Keynes before the rush hour kicks in!

[beko1987]

Great! Brilliant writer.

 

Alas my fleet clear out means I don't have 'proper' transport, and the ropey minor is very far from an mot.

Hmmmm (goes off to browse e bay)

Why don't we show him what an autoshite purchase is, you find something within 30 miles of the museum, 30 of us drive over with you, matey in tow and you shake the vendors hand before he's said a word drive it back to the field, fix it up in an afternoon and you sell it to someone else for half the cost by 9pm Saturday?

^^^^ As is the way of the idiot, I'll be heading there on foot and probably arrive days early so I'll scout around the locality for shops'n'shizz.

Also, it's not the Australian outback and I believe there may be some cars present so there's not gonna be much ball-aching in grabbing supplies.

If you can get to bucks/Oxon way I'm sure myself or Chris can drive you up...

^^^^ Cheers Uncle Sam but I like the walking and I can always hitch a bit if I get tired/wet/my foot stuck in a bear trap/etc.

You think you've got problems. Due to an abundance of paying work and a lack of available hours, the shonky T4 looks like it'll still be in bits.

 

Hence, arrival will likely be in a XC90 with a fuck off large luxury tent in the back.

 

Please don't all shun me...

In mitigation, the Volvo is currently sporting an abundance of fault codes ranging from 'Transmission service required' to 'FUCKING STOP, YOU EEJIT-BRAKE FAILURE'....

[chaseracer]

Sounds proper shite.

 

APPROVED.

...arrival will likely be in a XC90 with a camping stove and a sleeping bag thrown in the back.

 

FTFY 

[beko1987]

I can turn the passenger airbag off, that throws a light on the dash up and a message on the display, plus if I leave the handbrake off, leave the sidelights on and put something half on the front seats it beeps and displays messages in danger red. We could make a song from all our modern beeps and bongs

You will be expected to be park and camp in the moderns section of the site

Bbq, fire pit news anyone? I have a garden waste burner and as much wood as you could get in a fiesta I could bring. But it would have to stay after I leave on Sunday teatime.

 

Let me know asap an I'll start filling a ton bag with offcuts at work next week.

Id be up for helping you burn it all (presuming we are allowed?) presumably no bottles on the fire as we got away with at sf15...

Well, that's not very nice

 

It might be modern but at least it's calliper carriers are attached properly.....

[NorthernMonkey]

Actually, thinking about it, that's probably the only bit of the thing that works as originally intended.......

[beko1987]

Want me to bring my spare caliper just in case now you've said that? I imagine their the same...

[hairnet]

Sounds proper shite.

 

APPROVED.

 

 

Svm will be plotting to take it home lol

Too many wheel drive 

[wuvvum]

I've found my tent, which is good because it's looking unlikely that the CX will be tested in time for Shitefest and I don't fancy kipping in the Rover of Doom.  I could come in the Trafic I suppose, but that might* be rather slow and noisy.

[hairnet]

Wuv you're very local ya wuss

Touche. Mutter mutter mutter shitty tools. Mutter mutter mutter.. at least make it to Knockhill hill...

[wuvvum]

I'm localer than some, but it's still over 100 miles each way.

[Guest bangerfan101]

Man up then. Half the fun of this sort of caper is actually getting there in one piece

[hairnet]

Must be an East anglian thing

 

Trig is the same

And home again. We've had a casualty every year haven't we? I lost 2 tyres on the way home from sf15, the brothers touring had fuel issues at sf16...

[bub2006]

Shitefest 15 I was losing a lot of water and ended up using a rubber glove. Shitefest 16,my caravan stabiliser bar tried killing chase racers Peugeot 205.

[chaseracer]

That certainly woke me up! 

[bub2006]

That could have gone a hell of a lot worse!

I'm still trying to decide what to bring, 620Ti but i really need to sell that, P6 but again i need to sell it or the Dolomite but that isn't the nicest car for a long run.
