This is an old style collection thread..

With the anti-climatic thread from Monday, I decided to head home and lick my wounds.

Tuesday night came - I was restless due to having to get up early for a meeting in Aberdeen.

Prior to going to bed, I had a final perusal of the social meeja.

Something caught my eye. Information was exchanged and a plan was formed.

6.45am, up and on the train. I checked in with the vendor at lunch and all was still good.

The east coast looked amazing today

6.45pm, I step of the train back at the local station, and head home for dinner.

The plan is mentioned to the burd and consent grunted.

Phase the first. Do a drive to @blackboilersuit's gaff.

Phase the second.

Do an drive to the top secret* location

Is it a Rover 75 that has a slipping clutch but you've had a few drinks and decided it can't be that bad after all?

The C looks like an Asian car typeface and it's posh enough to have a rev counter. 

Still no clue, I'm going to go Ssangyong Rexton

Avensis diesel.

 

It's good but it's not right.

 

Someone has got the manufacturer correct so far

It must be a Nissan because of the rev counter and temp gauge on the right..

Just seen that you mentioned a meeting in Aberdeen and the east coast.... So I'm probably safe in guessing that it wasn't the one on eBay in Plymouth, couldn't be much further away...but then this is AS so anything is possible 🤷🏼‍♂️
