Another collection thread? Don't mind if we do!!


Recommended Posts

Posted

The initial plan this week was to combine two collection threads into one trip. This was especially prudent as both vehicles were within about 30 miles of each other...

As it happens, both sellers could not do the same day, so we had to split it into two 

 

This is part 2.

It was time to get on the road with @jaypeeIMG_20231202_091814674_HDR.thumb.jpg.9efa812942bdfb07f8fe21cda5961548.jpg

We are currently on the m74 south, with that big yellow or causing issues again .

I know that feeling only too well!

It might be cold but it sure is pretty!

If it's not a range rover for the ultimate "is he a pub landlord or a farmer" combo then I'll be disappoint.

We passed a hitherto unknown car today...

Badge on the back read SKOD

 

In England now, sure there should be a third lane on the right...

Weird, the really cold stuff missed us. Seems to have hit north and south but missed a patch of the Midlands. It's cold but not arctic like that pic. 

I'm expecting an Audi Q7 to come past you in Lane 3 any time soon.

I have to say I've been quite tempted by an Octavia estate as a modernish An Car.  Problem is I'd want an auto and they're all DSG which scares me a bit.  That and I wouldn't be able to take it out on a Saturday night without being worried about pissheads climbing in the back wanting a ride home.
