Live collection thread! Amelia's Adventure begins

[Amelia]

Clues so far.

Newer than 2007, small but not a Fiat, 73bhp, bit of an animal.

Next clue: Very much an 'urban' vehicle.

Oh, and it is not in a for sale advert on here. Or anywhere else tbh. 

 

[Andy F]

Could it be a Fox?

[Marina door handles]

Bit of an animal? The only thing that comes to mind is Peperami,  that cannot be right! 

Hold up Animal named, smol car not Panda.... Lupo?

[Amelia]

Arrived at Leicester now. 

So far one person has guessed correctly, and a few others have gotten pretty close.

 

[grizz]

Puma. 
 

 

Saved from distinction or is is it extinction. 
 

 

Scratch that. 88bhp in 1.4 and too new. 

[Andy F]

There should be a collection thread every Tuesday. It's my slowest day at work

And cheating doesn’t work either.

Very good x

 

[Pieman]

A Fennec Fox  

[grizz]

And there is a selection of steel and plastic cars that spring forward. 
 

If you are driving it home (no idea how far) and for bicycle money…… 

I am intrigued.

On the train now. I faffed around too much so there wasn't time to get the bus to the station 🤦‍♀️

So one last adventure for Jade..

Parking at station way cheaper than getting a taxi. 

Oops. Apparently I have --- miles of fuel left, and no electric 😅

Well, that's tomorrow Amelia's problem 🤣

Perfect, send an email to HR notifying them you've handed the car back, notify of its location and put the key in the post. 🤣🤣🤣

[Amelia]

Collection went well, got picked up from the station by @Dobloseven and we went to see the car. 

The lady selling it was lovely and we chatted for ages. 

Car is good, quite basic, perfect for what I need. 

Put some fuel in and forgot to take the obligatory photo. Hopped out of the car, took the picture and went to get back in and the car had decided to lock the drivers door. With the keys in the ignition.

Luckily ,(after standing panicking for a minute) I remembered I'd not locked the boot! Cue me clambering in through the back to get the door open!

Classy Essex Bird!

[Amelia]

Finally back home.

Football match went well.

I was the goalkeeper and I scored the opening goal ... from my penalty area 😳 With the outside of my boot. I wish it had been caught on camera!

Car performed well, kept up with motorway traffic and hardly used much fuel.  Should be a perfect vehicle for me.

Thank you again @Doblosevenfor your help x

 

[hairnet]

roofrack and pineapple next?

[JJ0063]

Looking forward to banded steelies and bolt on arches!
