A school day collection

[Floatylight]

Bike to the station, then train tosser to meet fellow Shiter, poor breakfast shot due to son having crept down in the night and drunk all the milk, no lunch shot as son crept down in the night and gave the salad for my sandwiches to his guinea pig..

Best excuse for no sandwiches ever.

Good luck!

Wouldn't work in my house!

1: there's no place for salad on any sandwich I'm going to eat

2: no son lives here to creep down and steal it

3: no guinea pig lives here (my dog would eat them).

 

But good luck anyway!

All is quiet on the collection front.

Do we know what you're getting already, or is it a guessing game?

[eddyramrod]

Oh let's guess, it's fun!  1977 Bedford CF camper.

A motorcycle with a big sidecar, to get the bike back home.

BTW, is it OK to take your bike in the train over there?

[Floatylight]

Collection completed, great to meet@flat4alfa, now doing some work, then back home the relay onto@catsinthewelder at Chumley..

Very relaxed drive so far, wafty V6 auto goodness, me and the guy from 80's car ads seem to be having regular conversation..

For an 80's luxobarge it seems quite smoll compared to moderns..

Ooh thank you,

 

Looking forward to a wafty weekend ?

[garethj]

Good work!

It does look normal sized compared to the Focus which is apparently wider than a Zephyr 

[Floatylight]

Mmmm, this is where I could really do with the wiper motor not being in the boot...

Thought I recognised the spot, just had some more big cracks of thunder so may be a bit more this way on. No rain here at mo though.

Not at the moment but keep hearing odd cracks of thunder, last was about ten minutes back and sky was black. A bit brighter now.

[hairnet]

ROFL at son

please post pic with hand out so can virtual fistbump

 

[Floatylight]

Back home about an hour ago, decent run once the rain had stopped, an eventful day, brightened up a work day..

It's a fine beast that, @flat4alfa took me for a run in it not long ago. Unfortunately, the fact that it kept saying things were wrong, or the bonnet wasn't shut etc would have me looking for a gun to shoot the bastard who's hidden himself somewhere behind the dash.

Bleeps and a flashing light ok, been told like a naughty child no!

I'm sure Cats children will love it, especially if you can change it to a different language every time you use it.

 

[catsinthewelder]

Many thanks chaps, can't wait to see it at the weekend and really hope it's dry ?

[fatharris]

Safranes are gorgeous, well bought and hope it does you well!

[flat4alfa]

Sorry it’s defective, but is a 27 year old £7 Renault that was very likely defective at year 7....

Glad it’s gone to Cats as it needs proper niggle fix nous - it did give Shitely Floatylight some adventuristic events* getting home

missing it already! Wife not quite  so.

it WILL be the only one at Cholmondley, rain or shine. Bonus.

[Floatylight]

Just doing a Renault, is a lovely old thing to waft about in, a bit of tinkering and it'll be grand..

You can take bikes, on some services you need to book, I leave the bike at the station and collect it days later when I need to use it again.

Oh its gonna be at Chumley? It'll be good to see it again, I'll happily give everyone a tour around it and show where you can find the button to shut up this weirdo hiding underneath the dash.

[Fumbler]

I'm looking forward to have the dash read the self test sequence!

[catsinthewelder]

Right chaps, Many many thanks to Floatylight who appears to have fixed most of the faults with a casting of fresh eyeballs over them and a long run

I believe the V5 is in the car and Flat4 would understandably want the ownership change to happen by Saturday (last day of the month)

As it is currently off the road would it be possible for me to do the ownership change online in such a way that I don't have to tax it in August and can start it on Sept 1st?

Not the end of the world if I can't but better £22 in my pocket than the DVLA's right?

[loserone]

Change ownership but don't tax it until the 1st.  You'll hear nothing about it
