Event Shitefest 2018 (U.K.) Chez Saabnut 9-10th june

[beko1987]

The day starts! I've dropped the kids off at school, and taken eva to school. Time for a shower now...

[Inspector Morose]

I really must start thinking about packing soon. Maybe.

450 miles to go.

[Guest Hooli]

Last bit of work planned for this morning done, is it 12 so I can leave yet?

[beko1987]

 

Fueled up! Eta to Tamworth 12 o clock!

[Guest Hooli]

I've even reset my trip computer for the first time since I got the car. Currently sitting on 22.8mpg for my drive to work with less traffic than normal...

[cms206]

I'm at Blair Drummond Safari Park on a 4 bus job, in a Leyland Tiger 72-seater and it's already 18 degrees.

 

Oh aye, and a monkey pissed on my cab window.

Wow working 'washer jets' luxury!

[beko1987]

Just leaving tamworthbays house! 70 miles @51mpg so far. Now to find bub...

[John F]

A changed work deadline now means there's absolutely no chance I'll be able to make it this year

 

Look forward to seeing your pics, unless M'coli drops his drawers again...

Sent you amended postcode. See ya in around an hour!

[Guest Hooli]

Just shutting my PC down, see you lot tomorrow.

[3VOM]

Regrettably I am going to pull out of this. I haven't been well since Tuesday and can't rely on being fit enough to drive up there without problems. I need to meet up with Beko at some point so I will PM him and Ghosty to try to make arrangements.

[Saabnut]

26 degrees and bright sunshine here! Bit warm for changing tyres, 3 done 1 to go. For a friends Merc, I have been promising to do them for 2 weeks, and he goes to Australia Saturday so I need to pull my finger out....

[Ghosty]

Packing the car and changing the alternator belt. Almost ready to go, just waiting on Beko to get to Manchester and we'll be off.

LOL at bus model choice for trip to a safari park.

[chaseracer]

In which car?

 

Saab, I think.  The GSX1400 would probably do less... 

[cms206]

Turns out mine isn't even the oldest here!

Still at work. Waiting for the 4:30 end of day. Then cycle home, get changed, pack car (stuff in piles about house). Get in car, faint at smell of car interior, wonder where the air freshener is, drive north, get stuck in traffic on the M6, remember that I should have bought petrol before getting on the motorway. Get to Glasgow, collapse.

 

My day is planned.

Warmer than here then.  Just 19 degrees at the moment.

 

I'm wondering whether to leave home at 2am (I prolly won't sleep anyway) just to make progress and arrive at Tebay for breakfast.  Website says the kitchen opens at 7.15am.

[hairnet]

You seem to have forgotten the BEST cartoon evah, the fucking Shoe People.

You animal...

Whit?

[John F]

I realised a few weeks ago that it wasn't going to happen so have stayed away from the thread. Instead I will work hard to finish the Visa this weekend (weather permitting) to ensure it's not a weekend wasted.

[bub2006]

Beko just left. Has Bavarian retros BMW parts and left me with a lovely present!

[Ghosty]

Yep he's just got on the phone to me, I'm off to convene with him and 3VOM at Manchestervacs some time in the next couple of hours.

In the 60s my uncle was in front of us in a mk2 cortina and the little shits pulled most of the rubber out holding the back window in before he though fuck it and got out, they had the wiper arms off ours

Well, you just make sure you clean it up, young man!! 

[DodgyBastard]

I'm not sure I'm going to make this, my list of usable/working cars is dwindling so I might need to get the finger out and fix some stuff, the brakes are still dragging on the diesel 305 after replacing the calipers and the w123 Mercedes has developed a misfire so that needs looking into.

Also my proton is landing today and I'm needing to get the c15 ready for an mot.

Anyone is welcome to stop by when passing, I'm in Crossgates/Cowdenbeath.
