Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends Electric*

Could have been worse, as train adventures go.

This is the first time that the car itself has had a poo count.

It is indeed. They've had new windows in since the Norman times.

What a bastard regarding the chod. Commiserations.

Its a pause rather than a cancellation. It'll be reet in the end man.

In other news, the Rexton continues to be a ridiculously  practical and economical ugly bastard. 

 

It's been back to Central Scotland to stock up on fuel. 

 

 

Empty

 

Full

 

 

Squatting on load. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Changed the fuel filter with @Lacquer Peelon 100 percent veg oil it's requiring changed about every thousand or so miles. Filters are cheap and as long as you carry a fresh filter, a 19mm spanner and a bit of fresh pump diesel, it's changeable in ten mins. 

First start after filter change:

There was an unfortunate casualty in the form of a BIG CHONKY MOTH that must have sneaked into the engine bay for a nice warm nap. Then the poor bug got cooked to buggery. 

RIP M9. 

 

Im just watering my car officer. 

We're just Normal car men. Normal, innocent car men.

Did that moth come oot your wallet?

[Jim Bell]

With the tank full again, it was set for a run out to Shitefest 2022. 

All  packed up. 

 

250 odd miles later. 

At the camp grounds. 

 

 

@maxxo having a go. Shot by from the second row by @sdkrc.

 

@Talbot even had a go at recharging the air con in a field in the shadow of a mountain. Sadly the condenser was leakier a leaky thing full of leaks. 

Thanks very much for having a go though!

 

 

On the was home I bumped into a couple of beauties. 

A luxury cruiser of distinction, seen here with a red Bentley. 

 

 

Also blew this SO CALLED SPROTS CAR into the weeds in fourth with the hammer to the floor, downhill. 

 

 

 

It's still a cracking, cracking car. I'd drive it anywhere.

How would it ever have gotten out? I never open it. 

[Sunny Jim]

It's been a dark, windy, rainy miserable day today in Shitefest 22 Land so thanks for making me and my colleagues laugh at pictures of a daft dog on a train.

Hope your new conveyance is everything you want it to be when you do get it.

No problem, this is why I brought kit with me!

It has to be said though, it was indeed the leakiest system I have come across so far.  I couldn't get full vacuum in the system, and what vacuum was there disappeared faster than a thingy up a wotsit.

That's probably why it's so fast. Really light in the air con component areas. Weight saving, I think the experts call it.

You caught the bloody Caton Healey on the road, respect!

Rexton ENDRSED.

[Jim Bell]

Great success!

 

Right. Where did we leave off? I have as collecting a car but then a brave shitter fixed it. Big thanks to @Tickmanfor re-belting the tinker and fitting up a fresh idler.

The car was still up in Angus (the area of Scotland, not in a man's bum) so the call went out for a hero that might enjoy a nice drive in a yellow car. 

 

[Jim Bell]

Somewhere in Scotland. A telephone rang.

Hang on, are you buying back a slinky yellow two seater which you should never have sold?!

[Jim Bell]

Being an adventure seeking legend that likes cars and driving in cars, @sdkrc jumped at the chance to put the SYSTEM UP WITH THE TOP DOWN, PC ON LOCKDOWN.

With all the excitement, he had to nip to the loo before setting off. 

 

 

 

Traditional Scottish toilet that allows an orderly queue to form.

PLUCKED from it's parking space and ready to point south.

High powered sports car, seen here with an SLK. 

 

 

Roof down. Hat on. Pray for sun, hit the road. 

 

Traditional pez shot. 

 

 

Traditional delivery malfunction.

 

 

 

Traditional breakfast shot. 

[Jim Bell]

Reports from the road said almost 150 miles were achieved before rain caused the roof to close. 

 

 

Still goes great. 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

 

 

They say you should never go back. 

I absolutely love the power delivery on this thing. It just hooks, books, then goes and goes and goes. Getting back in it has reminded my of why it went in the first place though. It's very cramped and uncomfortable for a lad my size. With the roof down it's epic. 

[Jim Bell]

 

 

First things first then. Naked carpets will NOT STAND. 

 

Luckilly, I had some OEM Merc nice rubber floor mats in stock. 

 

 

 

That's better.
