Split_Pin Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Kids still on holiday in Falkirk until next week so the word 'summer holidays' is allowed! Glad it's going well! Tickman, stonedagain and spartacus 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best running Hondas I had (after replacing all the ignition parts).You're not wrong there.This is a 26 year old engine - it has no business being this clean. All the fluids were perfect levels and crystal clear and absolutely nil concerns.Still, probably should have at least checked it before driving down the country Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Jim Bell, Broadsword, rantingYoof and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Earrings Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I take no credit for my ownership. I enjoyed Ghostys tinkering although I did pay someone to sort the wiring to all the speakers though, and I put that AS sticker on.

When Mason was bought off my driveway by three insane Scots in the pitch black pouring rain on a Saturday in November, they set off at 6pm without having even looked under the bonnet and did the 490 miles in one hit. They had only basic personal belongings, no food, tools or anything for the journey. Like the awesome Honda you've just picked up, it has the sort of engines and mechanicals that make you feel 100% confident it'll go on for however long you demand of it. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be reminded of that night.

SiC Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Ha! I've done that exact journey before when picking the Jag up. easyJet Bristol to Glasgow is really cheap on the early morning flights. Airport to Glasgow centre can be Uber'd but I took the bus as I was being a skinflint. Did Uber from Temple Meads to the Airport though as I hate waiting for flights and get awfully nervous I'll miss it. I think @Nyphur has done it recently too. Well done on the collection!

davidfowler2000 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hells bells. I've not been watching the beige too much recently. Glasgow FFS and Scotoshite Plc were not informed? We could have held a minute silence or something while we were all at work. I've done two shite collections using planes - the bus and the silver 760 Turbo. They are indeed utter arse for interesting KOLLEKSHUNEERINGS but sometimes it's worth it for the time saved. Not quite on the scale my most recent collection thread (Here) but then again I did my utmost to rip the hole right out of it.
