Planes trains and automobile collectioning.

[davehedgehog31]

My longest collectioneering mission to date will shortly get underway encompassing land and also air based transportation.

 

An ambitious schedule will see collection achieved this evening and a lengthy return drive completed through the wee small hours.

It's going to seem like a long journey...

[Split_Pin]

Chodspeed!

[davehedgehog31]

Are the Phill Collins and Ibiza tapes a clue?

 

Are you going somewhere warm?

Warmer than here anyway, it's baltic today!

 

But no, a jacket is certainly required. Good detective work though.

Due to a scotrail fuck up, I am a bus wanker.

 

Best seats in the house though, I am the Lord of the bus said he.

 

Going into Glasgow for scrans and to lift monies before proceeding to the Aerodrome.

 

I'm fantastically early

At the Airstrip at the moment. Of all the forms of travel, the metal bird has to be the most loathsome. The security dance routine really highlights the most dense and disorganised people to plod the earth.

 

My destination is Gatwick but flight delayed. This is going to be a long and dark drive home with possibly more than one Pez stop. I may end up admitting defeat half way and availing myself of a Travel Tavern.

How's progress at Abbotsinch?

[davehedgehog31]

Flight somewhat delayed.

 

Just purchased a tiny coffee for 3 and one half pounds. Robbers.

 

Pictured next to cheapo fault code reader for scale, I'm sure it's only deployment on this trip.

Oh dear.

 

I remember going to pick up a Vauxhall Omega that RantingYoof had bought on my behalf in February 2016.

 

Bloody 11:30 flight from Aberdeen to Birmingham was cancelled because of snow in Manchester (the plane we were to get was coming from Manchester first). I ended up on a bus to Inverness for a flight that only left Inverness at 6:30pm! That was a loooooong day.

 

I actually still have the Inverness to Birmingham boarding pass hanging on the wall next to my computer desk.

My work send me up to Aberdeen on occasion and always ask if I can "nip over" to Inverness, they think everything up that way is close together and connected by motorway.

 

I've been guilty of it myself with the very south of England. Was working in Folkestone and there was a wee job in Plymouth, thought I'd just take the hire car through before coming back up the road. It took about 6 hours.

Oh right, Manchester to Aberdeen to Birmingham.  Seems like a logical* route.

We need updaetz!

Not much happening here I'm afraid, latest is flight should arrive into Gatwick sometime around 2215hrs. If I make it off the M25 for the 0048hrs shipping forecast I'll be doing well.

 

I feel like Tom Hanks in that film where he lives in the airport, but with less Catherine Zeta-Jones.

 

Clues so far, modern enough for OBD reader, old enough to play cassettes. Opulent enough to contemplate 470 miles in one go.

 

One further clue, its from a European country I've NOT owned before. Owned many French, Italians, Deutsch, Czech, British.

Sorry, poor proof reading. Should have read country NOT owned before.

[320touring]

Spanish or Italian then?

[davehedgehog31]

Spanish or Italian then?

Nope. There is a third way.

[sporty-shite]

Seat Leon?

[davehedgehog31]

Seat Leon?

Good guess, but wrong.

[eddyramrod]

Volvo.

[pshome]

so you collect a train, a plane and an automobile? Wow!

[320touring]

Saab?

[davehedgehog31]

Saab?

Winner. No prize.

Better be that boost caboose that was for sale on these pages with 275bhp..

I can neither confirm or deny.

 

Suffice to say there will be plenty Pez shots, so you'll know soon enough.

[320touring]

Oooh yaldimo!

 

I would say chodspeed, but you'll have enough of that shortly!

[davehedgehog31]

One thing I fail to understand, why would one pay more to get on the plane early, thus spending longer in a roasting claustrophobic tube?

 

Wait until the very end of the queue, you'll have no hassle and be spared the pain of folk clambering over you and dropping bags on your head from a height.
