Sealtainn Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I’m starting this on the basis that the Buick gains an MoT on Saturday. I know quite a few shiters wanted a go in the old barge and combine that with me having no time off work until 10th August when I’m heading out to Bulgaria for Mrs Seals 50th Birthday, I was hoping that it could get relayed up to Aberdeen and left at the Nortlink terminal. I’ll happily pay fuel costs and train tickets home (providing you’re not going 1st Class ?). Would anyone be up for this? No worries if not as I know it’s a lot to ask and I’ll pick it up from my mate on my way back from Bulgaria. If it’s a possibility, the car will be in Essex Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If anyone fancies an adventure there is a 405 near Inverness that I would prefer to be in Shropshire. For added fear points it was MOTed in January, driven up in March and not been used since. I can put people on the insurance which would give you full recovery etc. I'm now tempted to drive the Buick up mind, kids will be off school from tomorrow so I'm not working much.

loserone Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The Buick is not going to fit in my lockup, is it? If we knew anyone who was going from Essex to Durham on Saturday it could hang about for a week and then attend the northern shitist meet, where SCTCH are attending.

Flat4 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'd love to do a stint in this if it's getting relay'd up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 This sounds interesting:) Wonder if I could do Buick to Aberdangus (I know where I'm going as did that trip with a 205) Then train to Inversneck and 405 south? catsinthewelder, loserone and Jim Bell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealtainn Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Well, the good news is that as of today the Buick now has 12 months MoT. My mate is going to hang onto it for a week whilst the bits arrive from Rockauto and he will fit them then she’s ready to head North is anyone wants a shot of the old girl. As I’m away to Bulgaria for 3 weeks on 10th August, I was thinking that she could spend a few days with various people on her way up and I’ll collect her in Aberdeen on 30th August? In true Autoshite fashion I’ve agreed to buy another car from SE London that I’ll pick up on 29th and drive back to Aberdeen ?

loserone Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Relatively safe on-road parking available near Durham, should someone want to drive it North for Sunday. Lift to the station also possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I would be pleased to offer her a temporary home in Buckingham if that worked for the schedule, I am happy to collect/delivery her but unfortunately not too far at the moment. 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealtainn Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 So provisionally, it looks like Alex is going to drive it up to Aberdeen and then take Rich’s 405 South from Inverness Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk RobT and skattrd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 As always, I'm already in Aberdeen and can help / provide cups of tea. I at least want to have a look at it when it gets here. Sealtainn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
