I've stayed in that holiday inn! Interesting area with the planes dive bombing overhead into London City Airport and Canning Tahhhn Underground just up the road, that place is a fucking maze... 

Still no idea what is going on! 😂

I've been staying at that Holiday Inn since July 😂

[davidfowler2000]

Let's do this as well...

Slightly disappointing that it's not Kiltox's  van so we could look forward to the 3 month journey home write up.

[beko1987]

20 miles away... An utter twat of a 20 miles away that would take the best part of an hour cross countryside though so enjoy 😂

We can't be 100% sure he's got collecting a Maxus.

25 mins from London to Reading. Pretty reasonable I thought.

[beko1987]

No 20 miles from my house! 

Dunno where you are now though, having fun? 

 

It is a good train route though, done Marlow to Peterborough many times before I passed my driving test! Takes as long to get from Marlow to Maidenhead as it then does to get into Paddington if you get the fast train. Not done it since the Elizabeth line now goes there though, hopefully the nice handy pick up spot on Shoppenhangers road is still there

[davidfowler2000]

Ahh fair enough. See above for a tracker link.

[beko1987]

Ah your in a field now/recently, picnic? 

I see your gearing your phone up to be a sat nav for the way home having been charging it all morning? So something pre built in sat nav or so old it's built in sat nav will be useless? 🤔

[davidfowler2000]

[davidfowler2000]

Also the tracker only updates when someone is viewing the link so if it's been a while you need to give it time for google to contact my phone, then for it to get a location, then for it to report back. Once that happens it's like a one second update interval.

[hairnet]

Cant read the tickets but paddington means wesht from that london?

M4 corridor or worse - grockle...........

[davidfowler2000]

I have a long-ish connection at Castle Cary.

 It's very twee countryside station-esque.

I also suspect the 166 heading to Westbury will be what I get on it's way back.

Yea but that could be anywhere from 2005 here... And it would have built in sat nav but probably wouldnt be much use off the motorway

Can't be, there's no square sosig! 

[davidfowler2000]

I'm incredibly sorry for the suspense but it's all gone VERY boring.

[quicksilver]

So after 4 pages of not knowing WTF was going on, it turns out some guinea pigs sent young Mr Fowler all the way to Somerset to buy them a Golf and disguise it as a Volvo B10M.  Those are some very demanding rodents.

[wuvvum]

Possibly a daft question, but what's so special about it that it was worth going nearly to France for?  I could understand coming to the arse end of Norfolk for the V70 'cos they're a bit rare, but surely there are modern diesel Golfs in Scotland?

[beko1987]

Maybe this is where the SVM pivot. Works as Scottish Volkswagen Massive too... 

[Ghosty]

I'm going to take a punt the fact it's a modern VW in a colour is a contributing factor?

GT spec. Fair enough there are plenty.

Diesel GT. Now you're getting more specific. Diesel TORK for towing (I'll be putting a tow bar on in due course).

2.0 Diesel GT. Even more specific. I've even viewed three 1.6TDI GTs all the same colour but all Motorpoint. Shower of wankers.

2.0 Diesel GT with auto climate. Now we're beginning to hunt unicorns. SE, Match and GT trim levels on the Mk7/7.5 come as standard with full manual HVAC controls. At this price point? Fuck right off.

Also it's genuine VW Approved Used so - 2 years VW warranty, 2 years breakdown assist, 5 days complimentary drive away insurance and £750 worth of repairs to anything that causes an MOT failure in the first two years.

Also being main dealer the guy went out his way to get stuff done. It's had a full major service before pick up (£450 worth inc two new tyres and some new wipers), new parcel shelf because the old one was a bit chewed (suspect dog) and the plates for the private reg were free. Brand new SD card for the nav too. He also said that it was a bit hard starting so if I have any bother with it in the first while then to email him and he'll arrange a new AGM battery.

Very very very much this. It's a special order colour, Tornado Red
