live collection Live Collection featuring The Scotoshite Volvo MASSIV (SVM) sponsored by John Candy Promotions

[davidfowler2000]

As hinted in the MODRIN shite forum, I sold the daily MODRIN VW Golf diesel. A few reasons for this - it won't comply with the Glasgow ULEZ that kicks off in 2022 so if I sell it now rather than closer to that time, I will get an extra 2 years value and I won't lose the lack-of-compliance value. It's being replaced by another MODRIN. So I'll admit now, it's a Volvo. Because of course it is. But I won't say what or where it is so if you already know at least keep it quiet until it's revealed at the end of this thread. Bear in mind it is replacing a non ULEZ compliant 2009 VW Golf GT TDI so that should keep you all guessing. There's also been quite a long drag since the last big mad SVM collection. rml2345 got his 740 from the FoD but he got a lift down to that. The last mental one was probably the time I went to Essex to get the big yellow bus. This one will also be the first in a while that will be done ENTIRELY by public transport. No lifts. No taxis.

Even though it's a MODRIN, who doesn't love a good collection thread?
Anyways, I'll be leaving the house in the next half hour or so and when I return, I shall have a new car outside the house. Backpack of travelling supplies packed and just enough time to have tea and catch up on some Deboss Garage on YouTube...

If it's a new shape V90 I will be jealous.

Actually if it's an old shape V90 I'll be jealous too, but I don't think that would count as a modern.

I KNOW! I KNOW!

I don't care and I’m a bastard for spoiling peoples fun*

Nah, not telling now. But it is future LEZ compliant.

David and I are taking very different approaches to forthcoming Lezbianity; he is going modern, I'm going after an '81 or earlier 245.

We have those on Greater Anglia (well 321s, but same thing).  They're dreadful.

[cort16]

Can you not get  to Ardrossan in about 50 minutes via Central and Kilwinning?  I'm hoping this car is in CampbellTown and you're  getting the summer ferry.

I think he's just posting random stations where he's stopped whilst working recently and he's actually been on a fast train to Plymouth the whole time.

We have some 321s converted to 320/4. They've had a coach taken out to make a 3 same as the native 320/3s. I can imagine a 321 being sluggish but the ScotRail ones are great. I'd happily drive one all day. Fave type of unit.

 I have been to all posted stations today. And it will continue.

I'm speaking as a passenger rather than a driver obvs.  They do feel slow compared to the 360s and 379s, but they're also cramped (5 abreast seating), noisy and boiling in the summer.

Yes, but I feel some sort of ruse is in progress as it can't have taken you 7hrs to get to Ardrossan from Glasgow.

Are you working or on a collection?
