skattrd Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I told myself I don't need any more cars, I've got enough and I'll get some fixed and have loads to choose from. Then you end up working too many hours, one cars breaks the week after getting it through an MOT, then another breaks and you're back to one working/legal car. Instead of getting them fixed you end up browsing ebay and bidding on yet another car. Today in pictures: … good night folks.

wuvvum Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I've never done a collection mission with an aeroplane and an hotel before. I need to up my game. eddyramrod, Stevebrookman, UltraWomble and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 The flight plus hotel only cost slightly more than the train would have and it meant I can collect the car in the morning instead of late afternoon. This also means I can hopefully* get home tomorrow without driving many hours in to the night. Cavcraft, The Moog, drewd and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, let me know when the time is right! Pete's E300 is a 6cyl turbo diesel auto, it has had a lot spent on new brake pipes and welding for its latest mot, full black moo and dark green paintwork.

skattrd Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Sit rep: Penrith 300 miles or so done, car running gr9, a few niggles but nothing major, fingers crossed. I had a pit stop earlier around Central Scotland to say hello to 320touring, brother and fatha touring. Now its KFC in Penrith then time to cross the country to the east coast and A1.

wuvvum Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 That's a nice looking motor car. Bet it shifts OK too - I had the non-turbo version years ago and even that was quite adequate. skattrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
