Mon premier thread de colléction

Well it’s WTF o’clock on a day off, it must be an autoshite collection. Off to the ends of the earth for a car which, if I looked longer/harder, I could probably find within 10 miles of my house. But where’s the romance in that!

so, train number 1, with some other sleepy-eyed types who presumably are off to collect a 13 year old mondeo or something....

The journey began in Ipswich, home of the tractor boys dontcha know. 

Now in london’s Famous London, home of extinction rebellion and stinky toilets. As I can think of no other reason to be using public transport this early on a Saturday, presumably a lot of £300 Micras and the like are getting collected today!

I like your thinking, @barefoot. That is a vehicle that would actually justify such a ridiculous journey. If you have a line on such a beast let us know!

it turns out London to Manchester is a fucking long way, so I’m letting the train take the strain again. I shouldn’t complain though - the guy on the other side of the aisle is heading to Aberdeen to pick up a Rover 45, and the guard has to spend all tomorrow going to Dawlish to collect the Kia Picanto he ‘won’ for £160 on eBay...

Oooft, well in, that wan goes like fuck!

Ooh, hello... do those dark headlights mean it’s a 182?  Golly.

Well done anyway.  After the briefest of hoons in 320Touring’s phase 1 172 green special I can really, really see the appeal of these.  Ace.

It's just the posh headlamps on a 172. This was the one I drove to Glasgow from Birmingham with the buggered gearbox.

 

Easily the fastest one I have owned, and. Bit fruity sounding too.

 

Most excellent

Home! Just under 250 miles non-stop and no issues. The old girl still has some go in her. Thanks to @sporty-shite for a smooth transaction. I intend to have some fun with this thing :)
