Sunny Jim Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 We were delayed getting into Warrington so I just had time to nip out of the station for poo number 4 before catching the next train. Packed train again. Himself had a seat reservation but an old lady was sitting there and he didn't have balls to evict her so we're left squatting in the vestibule.

Sunny Jim Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 And home. Dog back where he started the day - asleep on the sofa. Car ran perfectly and the journey was great. It's a nippy wee thing with great turn-in, so much fun to hustle over the Hartside Pass. As my surname is Catton I had to stop off here: Sits at about 3.5k revs at 70mph on the motorway but still feels nicely composed. I filled the tank before leaving Hexham (just over £60) and still had half a tank 250 miles later when I got home. Now I must confess I did cheat and remove most of the jeopardy of driving a 20 year old roffle prize home. The car only had a couple of weeks test so @loseronekindly dropped it off with @Jimbob McGregor who gave it a check over and service and put it through an MOT - I'm indebted to both of them. It now wants for nothing other than perhaps a new rear wiper blade. The rather small and off-set pedal box will take some getting used to, my size 11s only just fit and I have to be precise so as not to accidentally catch the brake when going for the accelerator or clutch! I'm counting my blessings and feeling very appreciative tonight - I'm lucky to have won the car and I'm grateful for being part of this automotive community.

Sunny Jim Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 A nice surprise this morning. Went to get the spare tyres @Jimbob McGregor had put in the boot and discovered three bottles of beer! Thanks to whoever provided those. Boot now pressed into what will be its regular role - somewhere for the dog to be while I'm at work.

Jimbob McGregor Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I put the tyres in (I think they’re all off 205 dartboard wheels that I’m refurbing) and @loserone provided the beers! chaseracer, Sunny Jim and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 One of the tyres is the single front tyre which was OK, I think? Beer is from me though, to try to make up for some cobwebs! mat_the_cat and Sunny Jim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
