2001 Suzuki Wagon R - Sometimes for sale.

[GeordieInExile]

I like the pre-facelift one better, with the tea towel holder on the back. But this is still ace.

[pandamonium]

This is going to be an absolute ball-ache.

 

Bus to station at 16:30

Train to Bury at 17:06

Arrive 19:48

Bus to seller's house = 44mins, so eta 20:32

 

Then to drive back = 90 mins

 

Back home by 22:02, not counting a fuel/photo stop.

Good luck (awaits pics)

[GeordieInExile]

All good things to those who wait, and that includes Suzuki Wagon Rs.

Is a wagon R like a GSR estate?

Shit, I forgot about driving an auto one of those up the A68 once.

 

Trying to think of a more terrifying experience I've had..

[Timewaster]

My wedding car was my dads silver Wagon R.

 

Class.

When are you collecting it?

[pandamonium]

Tonight, at 8.30pm

[pandamonium]

Turns out buses don't run that late, so had to book a taxi from the station. Not a good start...

[pandamonium]

Bus journey done.

On first train from Rayleigh to Shenfield. 

20 min wait in Shenfield then 3 more trains to go...

 

[pandamonium]

 

Having a coffee and a charge at Shenfield 

[Wingz123]

Safe journey!

[pandamonium]

 

Chelmsford, cracking facilities... 

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

That reminds me of Cambridge North station. Opens at 5am, my train is at 5.30am and Costa opens at 5.30 am... AND WILL POINT BLANK REFUSE TO SERVE YOU ANY EARLIER, even though they are all set up ready to go. On that basis, I refuse to go in any Costa at all... And mayn... I buy a lot of coffee!

[Cavcraft]

They probably aren't paid until 5.30am, can't blame them if that's the case.

[pandamonium]

They won't be allowed to ring a sale through until then, but if it were me, I'd take exact money and ring through at 5.31...

[pandamonium]

At Ipswich now, this is some mission.

[pandamonium]

10 mins away from Bury St Edmonds, battery getting low, so if the Wagon doesn't have a working 12v socket, this may be the last you hear from me...

[pandamonium]

After a bum-clenching drive to the nearest fuel station, I can happily announce that it is good.

 

 

 

[Stanky]

Bonus points for getting a V*uxh*ll dealer in the background of that pez station shot there mr P!

 tea towel holder on the back

 

 

We've all got one of those.

Agree, thats how you gain customers but to them they simply do not care. They get up, do a job then go home again and do it all again the next day. They probably do not stand there thinking how they can grow their business/franchise to make it more profitable...

[Wingz123]

Did he give you the pound change? Hahahaha (I am joking...)

[pandamonium]

16 miles in, EML. Should I be worried? 

[Wingz123]

No - is it misfiring? Probably a coil pack had a flutter

[pandamonium]

No misfire, runs fine. 

 

Made it home, very pleased with it.
