Proton Persona Diesel!

Good morning.

I have been clearing out* for a while now. Today, a Volvo left. I have made tentative arrangements to have two others leave, so those are sold pending collection.

Last week the Council Estate died at 5am when I was leaving work. The daily for some time, the ever reliable Montego EFi, started haemorraging fuel AND water in alarming amounts, as well as overheating in traffic as the fan switch has breathed it's last. A new water pump will be on order when I can be arsed but the fuel leak has been sorted.

Bother.

Neither Hyundai is currently MOT'd as my tame mechanic is on a bender.

This can only mean one thing... I am boarding the first of four trains at 10.25am - IT'S NEW CAR SATURDAY!

 

But first, a salute to a fallen comrade. Goodnight, sweet prince. 10-11-87 to 26-10-19.

Hmm, four trains.

1. Paisley to Glasgow Central.

2. Glasgow Central to Birmingham New Street.

3. Birmingham New Street to Cannock.

4. Another one.

 

HE’S COMING TO CANOOCK! IT’S AUCTION DAY TODAY! HE’S GOING TO BUY A CANNOCK AUCTION CAR! 

Or maybe he isn’t.

Poor ovloV! Where is it going? Oval?

Six of my last eight Volvos have gone to Dumfries Volvo Spares, which is where this one is going. Kevan and Andy are top blokes who pay well for dead Volvos and are 100% reliable, pay cash and don't mess about. They've got an ACE 940 rally car too plus two Volvo specialist garages.

Some of those stations are correct. Both Glasgow terminii are involved but only one of the two Paisleys.

It is. You both dodged a bullet... this is only the third car I have ever "lost" money on.

Anyway. No pic as it is busy as but we are now on train two... Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley.
