How much shite is too much shite? Overdue Update, A Show, One Out One In and a Stupid Road Trip.

[Momentary Lapse Of Reason]

[Saabnut]

After four and a half hours stationary on the M6, eventually I made it off at Junction 15. The motorway closed as I passed J16 apparently! Usual chaos, some very grumpy drivers but these things happen. Waze took me along back lanes to avoid the carnage so once off the motorway I was back on at J14 within 15 minutes. Now in my nice warm hotel near Worcester which I had pre booked. Nice hotel, friendly staff but they forgot to tell me the bar and restaurant are closed for refurb  

Awiting on a pizza being delivered, that in itself is a novelty as they won't deliver to me at home!

Sounds like an ordeal. Not easy getting up and down the country these days!

"but they forgot to tell me the bar and restaurant are closed for refurb  "

Just order a Waldorf Salad...

After a fair nights sleep I am now drinking tea before going out to put on the overalls and head off to the collection point. Just have to hope the traffic is better today!

The view out of my hotel room. At least no one stole the trailer as I forgot the lock yesterday!

[Saabnut]

Well it is on the trailer 

[leakingstrut]

10” wheels so something small, I was going to say mini but the arches don’t look right. I’m going Innocenti based upon previous Italian purchases. 

[Saabnut]

Not Italian 

[DirtyDaily]

Trabant?

Nevermind the lights are more rectangular on the trabant...

[lesapandre]

Hillman Imp?

Forensic evidence...

[Saabnut]

Yep!

[lesapandre]

Wow - this place...

Congratulations. You have to trailer this to France for Le Mans.

The French love their microcars. You'll attract more interest than a Cobra...

little known fact is the British isles is an 8 bit integer/5 digit speedo, if you go far up north, you wrap-around back to the south

Collection once sorted will be worth tuning in..... Warm up for the intended Euro adventure 

Chodspeed on the way back to civilisation fella. Nice* way to kick off retirement

Is there some secret agenda to take at far away from @LightBulbFun as possible to ensure the greatest degree of misery adventure when it gets collected?

[Supernaut]

Are we going to build a trebuchet in Saabnut's garden to fire it roughly towards London when the time comes?

I guess the used car market in the London area is a bit better than Scotland. So what about @Supernaut drives Rev down to London and buys a car there. He gets free transport south and you get Rev delivered. Thats's a win win situation for both of you.
