Gawd, hope it is a six pot or it'll be a LOOONG day!

 

It will... sorry. The Euro Cargo is so awful it could be a Mercedes, which is saying something! MAN isn't too bad, old Cargo is lovely, Roadrunner or pre-Renault-cab 45 is just a treat. Why do they design something good, then launch a revised version? :( Still, it'll be a fun trip as long as you don't try to drive it like a car (even a 2CV). Keep your momentum up, remember your stopping distance is huge, and corner slow and a bit wide.

My mums side of the family are from Llanberis. I love that place.

Petes Eats cafe , the BEST cafe of EVA , Tea or Coffee in pint mugs and a Big Jim fryup , oh yes

Do hope its still there :roll:

 

It is and last time I went had photos of a 2cv being squished by a JCB bucket :evil:

IIRC Petes eats ( the extreme rock cafe ) has loads of photos all over the walls , last time i was there they had just opened an extension , Aberystwyth is a lovely place , has a place you can look at the stars i thinK ( cant remember the name ) , Devils bridge is a wierd place nearby ( where the fan belt decided to part company with my Marina 1.3 and fry the motor :roll: )

Also you can spend hours sitting there reading a book, only buying one coffee, and no-one shouts at you. Fantastic.

They sell the pint mugs ;) I went there regularly as a kid in the '70s, my gran lived very close to there and it was the ideal place to go. Llanberis is so much busier now it always freaks me out a bit. Still go a couple of times a year though.

I was putting paper in the recycling bins at the tip when I noticed some old stuff. Some run of the mill '60s magazines, other bits and bobs, but most interestingly two TV and radio catalogues from Pye and Ekco.

I have this radio.

Why would someone throw great stuff like this away?

+1. Been keeping an eye on this all day - it's wonderful to see it all going so smoothly - it's a hell of an operation.

This freecycle advert.....

 

i have put about £25 worth of unleaded in my empty diesel car and need to get rid of it.

 

I have managed to get £5 in my motorbike but still got about £20 left sitting in the other car.

 

If you can bring a container, i have the syphon and can get it out for you.

 

Im in a bit of a hurry as car is useless until i get all the unleaded out of it.

 

Please reply with when you can collect.

 

Cheers,

Lisa

 

Even I'm not that desperate for free fuel.

Yeah the thing with miners was good news. It genuinely cheered me up to see they have been saved, what an awful situation that was.

 

I have a dilemma. My Finnish friend is moving back to Finland. I could go, live in a lovely town and probably work teaching English.

I really want to, but I have to decide soon, and I have mountains of general stuff that I need to get rid of, not to mention cars. Everyone is telling me I should go, and I am acutely aware that this could be me only chance. What to do?!!

Go! Don't hesitate to go if you can.

Do it RS! Best to do something you want to do now and regret it later then to totally miss out on the chance you have now and wonder what if for the rest of your life.

I know I should. I really have to man-up on this one and just bloody go for it. Problem is I've become so attatched to all the crap I own I don't know what to do with it.

Choices are:

Sell anything of value (I have started on this) and burn the rest ritually in my dad's garden

Pay for a storage unit to keep it all in

Take some of it with me

 

Quite honestly at this point I would like a big fire to destroy everything I own and collect the insurance money.

What possetionist nazis we are in this country!

Getting rid of some of your stuff could be the best thing you ever do. Due to sabotaging my own life last year I went from having my own flat full of tat and crap to only having one room to put everything in. It meant I had to chuck loads of things that I thought I needed, but now I've forgotten what most of it was... Travel light, it's the best way.

I'm not sure about keep it 'all' I'd just keep your most prized possesions if I were you. I hope I will be facing this dilemma one day as I aim to leave this country again anyway, but for good. I've already decided I want to keep one or two of my cars, even if other people think I'm mad.

 

To be honest, a clean break is the best option.

Do it. Better to try and fail than never try at all or whatever.

This is dreadful advice.

I have tried loads of things, only to find that I fail at pretty much everything.

At least you know that though. Otherwise you could spend your life wondering... :D
