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

[loserone]

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...

In which car?

[oldcars]

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.

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

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.

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....

 

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.

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

You animal...

This - avoidoo the m6 in any kinda daylight

 

(Or A1)

[M'coli]

And avoid the A66 when Appleby Horse Fair is on. What's my route tomorrow afternoon going to be? A1-A66-M6...

[John F]

Do ye like dags?

[HillmanImp]

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...

 

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.

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.

 Could do. I'll be doing a fuel / rest stop at the Shell garage on the corner of Kingsway / Forfar Road. ETA 1245.

 

 

I'll be heading up from Glasgow in the mid afternoon on Friday if anybody fancies meeting up for a 60mph convoy. If not I'll be the chap in the blue Triumph Acclaim heading in a northerly direction.

 

Topped up the Triumph's vital fluids and gave it a bit of a wash, much excite.

 

I will attempt to meet up with one of these convoys in the Granvia, if I can actually made it now. Lots of things conspiring against me, lost my wallet, new cards haven't arrived yet, poorly dog having a reaction to new meds, still have a shed to build while the weather's nice....Probably not the best time to be spending the weekend in a tin box 165 miles from home. If new cards arrive tomorrow though, I may have a rethink. If they don't, hope you all have a great time!

I have acquired your requested beer for arrival.

[Saabnut]

Cannot believe how lucky we are with the weather. According to the radio, today is day 28 without rain - never before seen by me in 34 years up here. Forecast is to remain dry for the weekend as well, so you all have no excuses!

 

I have just been out and put the signs up, so just follow your sat nav and the signs are within a mile, trying to keep you on the best route to Shitefest. No picture of the sign at the end of the drive as 3, yes 3 bloody cars wanted up the track I was blocking, but they are the same with arrows pointing up the track.

 

See you all soon

I'm grateful of the assistance mate,thought you may enjoy the scenic route.

[davidfowler2000]

Considering it's only about 5 miles off the main road, if I get lost I deserve to be shot.

stick to the a1 side of things ftw spesh on a friday

[hairnet]

I am in Manchester! GTFO!!!!!

[dozeydustman]

Have fun this weekend guys. Totally impractical for me to do so this year. I hope to make shitefest 2019 with 30 bottles of home-brew wine and (if I get my arse into gear) home-brew beer as well.

[beko1987]

 

Tradition, Old Charter, something...

 

 

thought I'd best have some vegetables now whilst I can...

[Lacquer Peel]

Is everyone leaving on Sunday? I have Sunday off and might make the tail end of it.

[Ghosty]

Tebay achieved! Dinner time.

I think a few are staying until Monday
