Coronavirus collection on the 13th - WCPGW?

[Flat4]

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. My mid life crisis will be revealed in less than an hour!

[sdkrc]

Honda Accord?

Impreza?

Can you give us a decade?

[Flat4]

Oh you're so close!!!! Honda is right and it's a naughties car, in more ways than one

[AndyIggs]

Mitsubishi lancer?

[Flat4]

I will probably have one of those at some point but not today.

[MKT]

EP3 Type-R?

[Flat4]

Getting warmer....

[MKT]

FN2 Type-R? ?

[big_al_granvia]

Getting colder

[Flat4]

Less warm. EP3 was right, I think... You can correct me if I'm wrong in about 20 mins lol

[big_al_granvia]

While flat4 is on her travels i am doing this, she can smell an incoming semi project 

[Flat4]

I have arrived 

[Tickman]

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.

[Flat4]

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.....

[big_al_granvia]

that had better not be a drip at the front in that photo, i am really fed up with cars losing body fluids

[big_al_granvia]

then again in a filling station was probably some other bugger losing fluid or condensation from the air con condenser

no worries on that front, my driveway is perfectly dry...although to be fair it hasn't moved properly since about january. That would be an awkward one.

[big_al_granvia]

cheers mate, probably someone else's fluids... i assume you checked all levels

 

[Flat4]

Yeah it's fine. It's done 5 miles now and completed our next collection

[Flat4]

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.

One more collection to make and home ward bound

[Cord Fourteener]

Wow good collection, sir!

A type S, the Honda Civic version of the Golf Driver ??

[Flat4]

Stopped at some sort of services on the M62 for dinner

Sadly the Starbucks is closed I could really use an iced mocha right about now. 24 degrees outside according to the car.

[NorthernMonkey]

 

Spent many a hour sat on that platform back in the 70s and 80s watching the Deltics come rumbling through from the power station just down the line at Ravensthorpe

[Eyersey1234]

Enjoy your Burger King, which services are you at? 

[Cord Fourteener]

Good grub, good train spots!

Looking at the super chargers, I’d say Hartshead or Birch

[Flat4]

It appears to be cruise night for stupidly modified Vauxhalls so I'm hitting the road again.

[Flat4]

Hartshead, that's the one. 

[Eyersey1234]

Chodspeed for the journey to Scotland @Flat4

[Flat4]

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
