bub2006 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The second to last pic shows a Laguna 2 in its natural pose. Bonnet up and the owner just nonchalantly leaning on it like an everyday occurrence.

Zelandeth Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Argh...fiddling with commercial vehicles *and* the Bently being out and about...even more sorry I couldn't make it! Probably for the best mind you or I'd only have gone and started pondering and finding ways to make buying a Silver Spirit make sense again. Also sorry I didn't get there so we could have got photos of it next to the Wartburg... Saabnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Despite leaving early (as has seemingly become my custom!) I did enjoy this one…just overshadowed a bit by car worries (more on that here). Great venue, and a top host – thanks to Nick for that, and the extra fuel pump! Highlights for me were the Green Goddess; shame I missed the start – can't wait for the video! Also the Cobra, made my little V8 sound puny. I would have like to stayed longer, but I think a third night in a row with very little sleep would have finished me off, plus I am in the middle of working on the van in preparation for leaving on Friday. I must be getting old and sensible, but am very tempted to bring the van to next Shitefest and sleep in comfort. Maybe I could bring the Stellar as a trailer queen? Oh and the midges! I did my best to reduce their population on the way back... Squire_Dawson, oldcars, Mrs6C and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I got home 40mins ago after a paltry 1,040miles at 33.8mpg.The tyre weld is holding and the vibration it caused has gone. So its just the blowing exhaust to sort and I'm ready to do it all again.

reb Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm not home yet, having taken a wrong turn and ended up on Shetland. Fortunately the weather is still good and so is the beach at St Ninian's isle. IMG_20180611_182341327.jpg IMG_20180611_191109451.jpgI've been there! Absolutely lovely place when the weather's nice. Nice roads too, all you'll ever get stuck behind is a hire car doing 45 along the main road. I had my polo as fast as it ever went on the road down to Sumburgh Head.

beko1987 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 My shitefest is nearly over! I went to see Mr Flat4alfa for Shitely related shennanigans Who then very kindly bought me some dinner AND let me have a drive of the brown trout, which makes my gooner feel like a tin can in comparison! I am now in ware, collecting something from a mate then finally homeward. Bit of a culture shock being around the horrors of London when just over 24h ago I was in scotlandshire!

beko1987 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I am home! Will do a full write up tomorrow, but I left my grans, popped to see Mr Flat4alfa, then to see a hoover chum in Ware to collect something, and then home! My scores on the door are: 23.3 gallons of fuel 55omgmpg which is surprising since I was crawling around the North circular earlier! And a total of Now commences a period of mourning as is traditional after shitefest!

Sloth in a bowl Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I have finally reached home after 1335 miles of no hassle running from the little Renault at an average fuel drinking of 40.3 mpg Yesterday evening an old work mate showed me and Mrs Sloth round the Whitby area in the evening sun.Good food and a long chat about his early Lotus Esprit restoration; trouble with pop-up lights is the current situation.
