Flat4 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just posting this on the off chance as currently work and 400 miles are getting in the way and shy bairns get nae sweeties.... Is anyone heading from the direction of Rainham, Essex towards either Scotland or Cumbria, over the next week or so, who could pilot my roffle win Saab north wards? I am happy to cover day insurance, all fuel, Starbucks, Greggs sausage rolls and jelly babies for the journey plus beer money when you are off the road Otherwise look out for an epic collection thread after the weekend....

loserone Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I could probably have brought it back tonight, but I'm nearly home now #nohelpatall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Oh bloody hell! Wish I'd asked sooner now but I was hoping I'd have the day off today to go myself but we've just had another person leave the day job so getting time off is even harder than usual. Where were you? Not likely to be back any time soon, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Was in London for the day, left the venue at 4. Won't be back south again till next week and will be in a hire car.. Flat4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatylight Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Might be able to help next week, definitely in London one day.. I'll check my work calendar Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk Flat4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatylight Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm in Stafford, in London on Thursday 12th.. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If nothing else occurs, I might be able to assist here. I have to go to rainham next week, so could at the very least pick this up and pilot it to anywhere else in the south to someone who could drive it up there. Or maybe even bring it up all the way. I like picking up "new" cars, but absolutely cannot purchase anything at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk That would actually be a huge help as it would knock 2-3 hours off my travel time home if I need to collect from Stafford. 1 hour ago, Talbot said: If nothing else occurs, I might be able to assist here.

I'm there on Friday 13th (week today), and depending on where you are, I'd be quite happy to get it all the way. As long as I can get back that is! Where is it's ideal destination?

Flat4 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 We're in Ardrossan or it can also be dropped to Barrow in Furness and I'll get it from there. More than happy to cover your fuel and return transport costs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 It doesn't even have to come all the way to Barrow. I could meet you at, say, Burton-in-Kendal services and take over from there. Flat4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatylight Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Picked this up from@Tetleysmooth in Essex last night and brought it back to Stafford so it's now half way to@Flat4. It's a lovely thing and doesn't feel its miles at all, certainly gets a shift on when required.Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk clayts450, sdkrc, chaseracer and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangernomics Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I may be able to do Stafford to Manchester on Monday evening? I have a trade policy so that’s no issue. Flat4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Have to say a huge thank you to @Tetleysmooth for being so patient while a far away shiter working 67 hours a week sorted herself out....And of course to @Floatylight who has seriously got me out of hole! I am so looking forward to getting my hands on this! If anyone else would like a go to pilot it further northwards over the next couple of weeks, please feel free to shout!

Tetleysmooth Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Aww shucks, don't mention it. It all came together in the end. I see it's still got the car park ticket in the window from Dorrington Gardens, Hornchurch, unless I'm mistaken. Flat4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
