Dual reverse collection, on the road again.

[pshome]

Today a dual reverse collection is supposed to start.

 

Unfortunately, it does not go well, one car failed to start. By now its flooded and the battery is empty.

It obviously has character and refuses to leave from a good home.

We have a ferry to not miss that is far away, as you may know, no seaports in Bavaria...

For added misery, it rains... no it pours.

 

While i have more coffee, some clues:

 

- Great circle distance to destination; 1444 km

- Involves not one but two cars

- Destination is outside the EU

- Destination does not use €

- a lot of driviing and a 20 hour ferry trip is included

- train, fellow shiter car borrowing and flight tickets assure the return journey

 

Public guessing of destination and cars involved is now open.

 

P.S.

Proper collection tool kit is on board.

Outside the EU and going by ferry?  That suggests south to me, North Africa somewhere?  In which case you're probably collecting a 504...

[dollywobbler]

Wow. International Shite Rescue really is go at the moment, even for International Autoshiters!

[pshome]

Read well.. "reverse" collection. It's a fleet reduction trip.

Or north to Scandinavia?

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Could be Turkey?

[Shirley Knott]

I like the idea of North Africa too... Lovely day for it

 

Watching with bated breath....

[mercrocker]

The tool-kit is certainly North African.   However, I am going to guess that a Tagora is towing a 504 to Svalbard.

Egypt has a lot of 405’s.

Expected departure 08:00... Current status:

[Cavcraft]

You're going to Africa to buy a 1980's Mercedes?

[pshome]

We are sorry for the delay. We just started the engine. Please board now for immediate departure

[Shirley Knott]

^ That's in Australia by the look of it....

[MorrisItalSLX]

No, we don't have Talbots here.

[pshome]

Some km done

 

. . More coffee needed

[pshome]

We made the first leg of the journey.We are now at a place where the big ships stop and eat cars.

On the way we have seen this.

 

And that

 

That was quite something in the 60s and as kids we would always beg dad to stop and at least walk across. Sometimes we would sit down and have a drink, happy times

Destination clue:

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Sweden!

[pshome]

[GrumpiusMaximus]

No... outside Eu

[pshome]

Big Ship eats Cars

 

[pshome]

Spot

[Junkman]

Kiel -> Oslo?

[pshome]

Yes... colorline Kiel - Oslo

Now guess the final Destination. Hint: Olympic city

[pshome]

Shite ship? Some last minute fixes going on.

[pshome]

You win. It's 50 km beyond Lillehammer

[pshome]

Free parking on board!

 

Sorry, clueless why the photos are all upside down. I am not good at using phones to net the web.

[worldofceri]

Love a car ferry.  Just realised it's nearly four years since I've been on one...

[John F]

Meh.

 

My guess would have been Switzerland, and you were going to do a couple of laps of the Bodensee on the way

 

Ha en god reise, og hils Norge fra meg!

Is there a village near Lillehammer called "Smøllesocket"?
