Sold 2006 Mondeo Estate (sold)

[Jim Bell]

Its been emotional.

 

With a history of 65 vehicles rolling in and out over the last five years, I now realise that it is time for a break from this bagain basement rollercoaster of chod. A boring modern is appealing. Maybe its my age.

 

One last time (for now), Im heading orf down the long road to pick up someone superiors outdated hand-me-down. South is the direction. South and West.

 

1st up.

 

 

Shit modern bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we're off.

[Jim Bell]

As its a good four hours till I arrive at the boring modern, I thought Id occupy myself with puzzling.

Were you Stan, Jack or Blakey? Bus people smell. Dropglass doors on 125s for teh win; they separate the true trainshiter from the dilettante public transport dabbler, I had to explain then show a confused belgian tourist how they worked lest she get carried past Berwick and get fined by the train stasi.
