Genuine Granada Greenhouse Gassing Granadaland - The Beast Estate leaves the GGG - Caution: No P6 Content!

[Junkman]

I know you all have been eagerly waiting for this.

 

The whole thing started with the usual chaos.

Some Caravan Club Cunt decided he had enough of pulling that fucking shit thing around (who with as much as half a brain could possibly blame him?), so he decided to slam it into the crash barrier. This gave the rozzers the opportunity to block the motorway just after 22 miles of fucking construction with a 50 OMGMPH speed limit. I had to come all the way from Austria to see such an ugly copper wield what little power he has:

 

 

So there we were. Stuck.

 

 

 

For the record, we qualified for 10th on the grid:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Junkman]

We clogged up our veins deep inside MM territory:

 

[Junkman]

After what felt like a week of driving, we passed a famous landmark:

 

 

 

And parked up:

 

[Junkman]

There was broken down chod because English:

 

 

 

And not so broken down one because Japanish:

 

[Junkman]

The GGG Shaggedyouare had suffered some 24h du Mans style bodywork damage:

 

[Junkman]

The surroundings were a sight to behold:

 

[Junkman]

Then The Beast Estate showed up:

 

 

 

Wanna see MOAR?

[Junkman]

I know* you do*.

 

 

[AnthonyG]

I love how The Truckers Rest have replaced one dead Renault with another, slightly more modern, dead Renault as their 'decoy' car.

[Junkman]

An impromptu shite convoy was arranged, destination was a nearby* pub.

 

On the way, this was spotted:

 

 

 

This caused a major feud with some of the indigenous, who were proudly sporting one eye in the middle of their foreheads.

I considered this completely normal, considering we were darn Sarf and it's exactly this what prompted me to move oop Narf 9 years ago.

I haven't regretted this move once so far.

[Junkman]

After some not so niceties were exchanged with said bumpkins, we arrived at said pub, but sadly I didn't take photos there.

It went a bit like this:

 

An Englishman, a Geordie, a Welshman, an Irishman, a Polak and an Austrian walked into a bar.

 

It was run by a German, who asked: Soll das ein Witz sein?

 

I did NOT make this shit up!

[Junkman]

After some liquid and solid refreshments, we continued to an infamous dogging location in the area:
 

 
 
But instead of some kinky sex, some hardcore woolarding ensued:
 

 

 

 

 

Sophisticated sock design met Breadvan approval.

[Felly Magic]

Trying to make the north west that bit sunnier? That beige Sherpa is pure automotive filth

[Junkman]

Yes, I know what you are saying.

You are saying this all went way to well and U R DIZAPOINT.

Well, it didn't:

 

 

[Junkman]

There was an official handover:

 

[Junkman]

On the long way home, we pulled into one of those depressing motorway services only the UK can muster.

We were greeted by this:

 

 

It was not the only car with a borked exhaust. I managed to ruin The Beast Estate's not even half an hour into my ownership.

[Junkman]

And finally, here is The Beast Estate at the Junktowers:

 

 

[Junkman]

Pretty much every mod con is non op.

The next day we managed to at least coax the electric windows back to life.

 

Since I had to leave for depressing pastures on Monday, Mr Conelrad took possession of the car to get a few more things sorted,

in particular the exhaust, which I managed to bork. Currently it sounds remarkably like Arena Essex in ye goode olde dayse.

[Junkman]

Trying to make the north west that bit sunnier?

 

Nah, man. We improve© The Climate here.

[Twiggy]

It`s a bit of all reet is that junkman................

[stuboy]

Love its size

[danthecapriman]

It's a brilliant car, despite all the mod cons not working (yet!). I can't wait to see what you guys do to it, it's well overdue some TLC.

[BorniteIdentity]

The biggest development here is JM has an actual face.  I always imagined you to be like that dude in Inspector Gadget who you just saw from behind, in a comfortable and well appointed evil control room.

[D Spares & Tyres]

I have lusted after one of those since I was around 12.

[Guest Breadvan72]

There was broken down chod because English:

 

 

 

And not so broken down one because Japanish:

 

 

 

La Calumnia!  Che infamia!

 

The SD1 was undergoing maintenance and repairs.  It had not broken down.  

[Guest Breadvan72]

After some liquid and solid refreshments, we continued to an infamous dogging location in the area:

 

 

But instead of some kinky sex, some hardcore woolarding ensued:

 

 

 

 

 

Note that JM did not say that there was no sex, only that there was no kinky sex.

Hotbox heap happily hurtles in hands of hoonist.  Sprint sprints, Skizzer steers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest Breadvan72]

NB: temp gauge sender had failed that morning, so needle not moving.

My command central is comfortable and well appointed, but nothing evil has ever come out of it.
