Project Beep beep beep - living the P38 dream

[The Moog]

Its valentine's weekend, love is all around so to celebrate two shiters are taking an international collection mission.

 

It is a famously* reliable* car that currently needs putting back together. WCPGW.

 

It will also include a visit to other shiters for gearbox shenanigans.

 

Should be fun*

[NorthernMonkey]

Err, before anyone jumps to any conclusions, can I just point out that my learned friend ommited to mention that the aforementioned shiters will in actual fact be accompanied on this ‘mission’ by their respective better halves.

 

A foursome in fact, by any other name.

 

But not like that.

 

I thank you.

Just have a drink and loosen up, see how it goes.

 

 

Good luck everyone!

[Supernaut]

Gearbox shenanigans, eh?

 

Is FPB7 involved? I won't say what car it is, but I think I have an idea. It may be currently located fairly near me, too.

 

Or I'm barking up totally the wrong tree.

[The Moog]

Woof

[John F]

Hmmm... Council estate?

[BL Bloke]

Sounds interesting, I wonder what it could be? 

[gm]

drive safe, brave adventurers (and watch out for omgsnokaos)

I'm thinking green... And that's on top of the stuff that's probably growing on it too!

[Guest Hooli]

Chod speed oh brave adventurers.

[HMC]

Green, and possibly with an ‘s’ in the model designation?

 

Have a great trip!

[The Moog]

I don't actually know what colour it is, only roughly where it is located.

 

 

Like a magical mystery tour with ball joints.

[hairnet]

so now that cms has reliable toyota maybe an excess volvo will be leaving?

[The Moog]

Maybe....

 

And that was almost understandable ... You feeling ok ??

[mrbenn]

Sounds like a high stakes collection mission with both of you taking your partners. Brave.

 

Chod speed!

I think Brave is an understatement. I am not sure standing at the side of a motorway is a real relationship builder!

[mrbenn]

You're right.

 

Perhaps certifiable would have been a better word!

[NorthernMonkey]

You should try it sometime*....it’s done wonders for us. Once you’ve shared the back seat of a green flag truck, you are complete.

 

 

 

*just not this weekend, though.

[NorthernMonkey]

Anyway, essential supplies are ready to load.

 

Departure time -2 hours approx.

 

[NorthernMonkey]

Note...Lidl bag contains assorted tools, snap-on scanner and prayer mat among other items. Should be prepared for some eventualities.

[The Moog]

Packed spare pants as it is an overnight trip?

Spare? I’m on my third pair already and we haven’t left yet

[beko1987]

Just bring it back the same way it arrived where it is, at 45mph for about 300 miles!

 

I achieved my best ever average mpg in any car on that trip, 57mpg! Rowing between 5th and 6th depending on the gradient of the road!

I was hoping it was full of pies but tools seems more prudent.

Not sure the lancer will achieve those heady heights. Over 35mpg will be good!

Stage one

Id hope it would be full of pies and squares on the way back at least?

[Supernaut]

FFS. Have you left yet?

 

It'll be dark by the time you get there, at this rate!

[Jim Bell]

Stage one

 

Don't forget to try for a wee before you leave. Even if you feel like you don't need one.
