Flat4 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 All change! These Azuma trains are nice. They have blinds on the windows and digital things to reserve your seat. Now on my last train of the day - a TransPeninne heading for Manchester Half (p)leather seats on a train for heaven's sake! Get your last guesses in now folks.

Tickman Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 That was quite a convoluted route from the west coast of Scotland. Some miles covered by train at least. Hope you have fun on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 My new toy Type S, EP3 I believe. Lovely little thing! Thanks so much to @1duck for hanging on to this for me so long when work got in the way. I nearly bought one as a first car but it was a trade in at a Ford dealer and the sales guy obviously wanted to sell me a Ford. 13 years later, I got my wish Re-fuelled and trip reset. Let's see what I get on the run North. Now I'm back on my own 4 wheels again, I have a few more collections to make.....

Flat4 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Next collection is from here. Suzuki Jimny specialists who have a stunning black Alfa GTV in their yard. For this... lol Complete back box and centre section for £30 It is rather boomy and I think it may need a new tyre or possibly calliper on the front but apart from that, the wee Civic is driving very well! 35 miles covered so far, which I think is more than the Saab managed.

Flat4 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Scotch Corner achieved Awaiting further instructions whether I'm going the east or west coast home. Does anyone have a working number for @scaryoldcortina? In the meantime I am going to stretch my legs for 10 mins and see if Starbucks On The Go is any kind of substitute for the real thing. Touch wood, 140 miles now covered with absolutely no dramas and returning bang on the book 37mpg. Pretty good considering the fannying about I did in Yorkshire before I hit the motorways, and my right foot Shite Ron, Mrs6C, big_al_granvia and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
