HMC WBOD news

[320touring]

Excellent:)

[brownnova]

Owing to kids sleeping over at my house I too was up nearly this early on Good Friday!! Lucky me!!

 

Chodspeed with your collection. I believe FotU might have given me a clue as to what you’re collecting... maybe... if it’s a secret... if everyone already knows then I’ll wipe the smug grin off my face and wish you good luck!

[HMC]

Plymouth Rail achieved.

 

 

By balls have disappeared up somewhere in my torso FYI

[HMC]

Plymouth fun* phact

 

Sir Francis Chichester left Plymouth on 27 August 1966 in his ketch Gipsy Moth IV and circumnavigated the world singlehanded, arriving back in Plymouth on 28 May 1967 after 266 days

 

HMC departed at 7.50 on a HST, not one handed, but with two hands. I already have an advantage over old franny. There is however a vague nautical connection on my trip. I’m hoping to be back before day 266. Unless Green flag are actually shit.

[HMC]

South Devon railway sea wall achieved

 

[HMC]

Third leg- Reading to Basingstoke via pedal power ..........

 

 

 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I am lucky to have purchased cars from both HMC and the Shiter that seems to be in competition with him to own every old car ever made and X seems to mark the spot where he lives. Coincidence?

[dave j]

Thats commitment to the cause, how far do you reckon you will have cycled today? Tavi to Plymouth would be long enough for Me!

[HMC]

It’s 14 miles plus 22 miles on this leg so 36 ish

 

 

On the outskirts of Reading by a business park and near the m4 yet...

 

[HMC]

M4 congestion westbound FYI

 

 

Shit in a bush count 1

[Jim Bell]

Shitting outdoors should be worth double points imo.

[Pillock]

Have you drawn on your face with felt tip?

[HMC]

Morale disaster.

 

A lot of pedalling later and oh look it’s the fucking m4 again- I should have crossed it once and never seen it again.

 

Got to the stage where how i look to passing motorists / general public doesn’t matter anymore

 

[HMC]

Hallucinating

 

 

Mint tomcat coupe brochure shot

 

All that’s missing is a fit blonde bird off to play tennis

[HMC]

My good man What ho!!!!

 

[HMC]

 

Currently lying under a tree, 8 miles to go

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

It could be worse. You could be at work with a caffeine overdose headache shooting out from the back of your eye and the only thing that might cure* it is another cup of caffeine liquid. Nice bike... think I have one of those somewhere...

[HMC]

 

 

[HMC]

Oh and FYI

 

 

It has a ROVER APPROVED QUALITY INSPECTION GUARANTEE

[HMC]

And state of the art* digital climate control

 

 

(As approved by junior government ministers of the 90s)

[bramz7]

That digital climate control is ace. Far better than the awful manual one my earlier example had.

[taxi paul]

Very nice. Lovely day for cycling has well.

[Amishtat]

Even lovelier day for wafting home in style. Well done that man, you've just saved me nine quid!

[BorniteIdentity]

Bangin’

[The Moog]

Taking collection threads up a notch again

Randomly lolling about in verges

11/10

 

Only lost a point due to lack of feltface

[HMC]

Back! First things first

 

 

Starving!

 

Rover brilliant, drives spot on, keyword: WAFT. Really tired but it was such a comfortable thing to travel back in. That’s something that new price lists just don’t feature, a cheap, yet uplifting car that’s designed first and foremost to be comfortable and relaxing rather than to tear up the Nurburgring.

 

 

Relax. It’s a Rover.

 

Cheers everyone! (Bramz especially)

 

[bramz7]

Glad you got back! Knew it would be fine.

 

 

Wondering if I did the right thing selling....how very normal of me.

[Marm Toastsmith]

Excellent.

 

Oddly enough I saw one of these in Camden at almost the same moment you bought this. At the time I was on my way back from the same stretch of Devon coastline photographed above. Yours was for sale when I left, and sold when I arrived.

 

I like these funny little coincidences.

[BorniteIdentity]

Again. Bangin’.

 

What are these like against a 75? It was these (in Sterling flavour) that peaked my initial interest in cars designed for men of senior years.

[r.welfare]

Good work.

 

That Tomcat you spotted has never moved in the last 15 months I’ve been commuting on that road.
