Saabnuts Cross Border Kollekshun Tread

[Saabnut]

As I really need to reduce the collection, I am heading to foreign climes to add yet another car. I have never done a live thread before so there is a distinct possibility that this thread will sit all lonesome until I get home, but I will give it a try!

 

242 mile return journey in a tiny car that I have never seen. WCPGW?

 

As usual, breakfast

 

 

This will be my steed for stage one of the journey. Hopefully it will stop raining soon..

 

[The Moog]

Good luck!

 

That's almost a normal looking breakfast.

Yes, I apologise for the breakfast, but I am trying to loose some weight and the usual fry up would mean no beer tonight! Choices!

[stuboy]

id love a fry up

[wuvvum]

Good luck!

 

That's almost a normal looking breakfast.

 

Although the spoon is a little strange looking.

1st change complete with journalist!

[Jim Bell]

It's big news!

 

Man travels from Scotland to England to collect NOT A VOLVO.

[Tickman]

1st change complete with journalist!

 

That is a lot of effort for a collection thread, looking forward to the segment on the television!

[Saabnut]

1st train in years which tells me it is a class 158

[Flat4]

Safe travels!

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Hope it goes far better than my pathetic excuse for this weekend.....

[Six-cylinder]

There are a limited number of places you can travel by train in Scotland so my guess is going to be Edinburgh area.

 

Looks fun, wish I was there.

 

Edit I miss read 242 return to be there and back and now realise that was driving home so Newcastle.

The view one way from Montrose station

 

[Saabnut]

And the view the other way

 

Never let it be said Scotland does not have everything

[Saabnut]

Hopefully my last train of the day

[Guest]

We may cross paths, I'm on a train heading over the border too. Dunblane- Edinburgh-preston- poulton le fylde

[Saabnut]

Tay bridge achieved

 

Will be passing through Waverley on the Kings X train

[Saabnut]

They tell me this is the forth bridge but I am sure I have counted more!

[Jim Bell]

Triumphant multi country collection confirmed as 50% complete.

 

 

 

Only the anchor leg to go. Which is uphill.

 

 

Great to meet you Saabnut, safe journey home.

 

 

And away they go.

Scottish poos are the same shape as wombats. They hold them in as long as possible before flushing them out with iron bru

[kirton]

Hopefully my last train of the day

I think this makes you today's train winner, even if you have a pacer later

[Saabnut]

Back at the station car park to pick up the Saab AX will be collected in the morning either by trailer or a friend has promised me a lift
