To London and Beyond... Collection Thread

[eifion]

A day off work today to go and pick up some new shite that's inconveniently located at the opposite end of the country. Will the trains be on time? Will it break down on the way back. Let's see.

No breakfast pic as I finished it before I remembered to start this thread.

Another ulez victim? Chodspeed sir. 

[GeordieInExile]

Chodspeed. I hope it's the BMW 520i I saw at the weekend.

It’s outside the expanded ULEZ zone so I don’t think that’s why it’s being sold. It certainly wouldn’t be compliant though.

First train on time. So far so good.

All will be revealed at about three o’clock.

Hold on, so you’re not going to that London at all. I want my money back!

No refunds, sorry. I did put “and beyond” in the title.

Not Gillingham…. Gawd help you…..

[bunglebus]

Gillingham

The station didn’t begin with a G. It was Ham Street where I bought this.



Yup, I’ve become another AutoShiter with a C6. This one though is a 2.2 manual rather than the more common 2.7 V6. The first fifty miles have been very wafty despite the awful traffic through the Dartford Crossing. I’m going to buy some diesel now then head northwards back home.

There is something definitely alluring about a C6.
I couldn't  bring myself to own one, but they're definitely in the "I know I shouldn't fancy that bird, but boy, does she have a nice pair of bristols" category.

I'd wondered if it was Gunnislake and collection of the Crown Vic from HMC.

Think this is more masochistic though

Looks fab

[DaveDorson]

Good lord I'd love one of these.

 

One L322 shaped liability is enough dicing with financial ruin at any moment though.

I did have an idea this might be the case 😂Very well done sir! 

Please can I come and poke it at some point!

I have achieved Uttoxeter Tesco on the long drive back. Two hours or so and I’ll be home. What a car it is.

3 C6s on Autoshite now! Sounds like I have to mentally prepare for C6 ownership soon😂

[wesacosa]

I'd love one too, if only they did a petrol one without the obscene road tax
