Early mid-life crisis: the MX5 story. ***Minor job 16/8***

[fatharris]

....no.

Not yet.

Five minutes more.

[fatharris]

Arse, better begin.

 

 

 

This message was brought to you by the sweet, sweet slumber that only a sprawling Spaniel and a crying five month old baby can only seem to achieve in tandem.

[Parky]

Well this will give me something to distract myself with today! How far have you got to travel then?

[fatharris]

Thrown myself round a shower and thrown on a car t-shirt.

 

Not indicative of what is to come.

 

 

Baby packed and dead chuffed about it.

 

 

The chariot awaits

 

 

Driver is ded fit. I wood.

 

 

And already dropped off at my first stop.

 

 

Train to Bath Spa for the first leg. Then onwards to the land of dragons.

[fatharris]

I have a bag packed. No tools, as I am a man of mechanical faith/an idiot.

 

 

A mechanical snake has arrived.

 

 

Always an important feature on days like this.

 

 

So, first changeover is Bristol Temple Meads, then onto Bath Spa.

chod speed

[Jim Bell]

Have a great day man. Are it a german?

[fatharris]

It are not.

 

Axis power though.

[Junkman]

Ah, a Lancia.

[fatharris]

Rest assured, if it were a Lancia, I wouldn't be heading up without a full complement of tooling appropriate to many FTPs

[Fabergé Greggs]

Blankets in lieu of tools! That’s the way to do it man. If anything breaks just release seatbelt, open door, roll out and into bed for a think.

[Jim Bell]

Are it fix it agen tommorow?

[purplebargeken]

I'm going to say........ Alfa.

 

I say Alfa because that was the first thing that entered my head apart from what the fuck shall I have for breakfast.

 

Damned good luck Sir.

[fatharris]

It aren't.

 

To clarify, this motor does NOT use 10W/40 pizza sauce in the sump. They did make the trains run on time, but at my budget, their cars have usually ran out of time.

[fatharris]

OTHER AXIS POWERS ARE AVAILABLE

[purplebargeken]

Hmmmmmm. Goes off to make breakfast. 

 

It won't take long.

 

Please continue..........................

[andy18s]

Hmmmm

Land of Dragons..Axis power.....

Are you taking custodian of the mighty Dacia?

[davehedgehog31]

Japanesey I guess.

[fatharris]

Yes indeedy Japanesey.

[fatharris]

Been on this train for nearly two hours now, and no Scran trolley has passed yet.

 

I'm both hungry AND thirsty.

[purplebargeken]

Electric snake hospitality FAIL!

 

It's an omen I say, an omen.

[fatharris]

Wouldn't normally care, but I'm on antibiotics that are affected by milk, so I have certain windows that I can have a brew in.

[rantingYoof]

Are you a Legend?

Have they got the cafe carriage as opposed to the trolley dolleys on this train?

[fatharris]

Trolley only.

 

This country is a disc-race.

[fatharris]

Fucking finally, the trolley has been piped!

[Jim Bell]

Are it a 1.3?

[fatharris]

It aren't.

 

1.8 litres of Twin-cam power.

 

Totally inappropriate, but I wanted one for ages.

[Cavcraft]

Land of the dragons? I’m in Ellesmere Port today, I’ll keep an eye out for you.

[rantingYoof]

SLEEEEEKA?!
