collection mission to SPAIN!!!! COMPLETED IT M8

[stephen01]

Excellent. What an update,  

[Wibble]

Very relieved all is well. Godspeed!

Something about this distinctive rear end gave me an idea for an unnecessary logo.

 

Behold my absolute dog shite execution, writ large:

 

 

 

Instead of a fun homage, it looks as if a French family car has sent a signature hostage letter. But I wasted time making it, so it may as well be put out there, to waste others' time also. #givingback

[Datsuncog]

Magnificent. Simply magnificent.

That is all.

Makes me want to eat pizza, in France, that’s been rolled up like a baguette. 

[Split_Pin]

Tremendous!!

[Spottedlaurel]

Fantastic news to wake up to! Well done Mr_B, I can only imagine the sense of anticipation and excitement you now have about driving up through Spain and France. Make the most of it, what a thing it will be to look back on. Even when I go on holiday there in my modern I have to pinch myself and savour the moment, but to be doing it in something that was designed and built there?.....

A lesson to us all here - it's too easy to get overwhelmed by the Bad Stuff going on in our own lives and/or out there in the world, we just need to get on and do something.

(Also good to read a collection thread without having to learn about the poster's toilet visits.)

I'm going to have to take issue with that statement.  At 70mph my Renault 6 sounds like it's about to put a rod through the block. 

Yep Berlingo sounds like strangling hamsters at 70, same for the J5 if it even did 70

In memory of Phil.

internet broken confirmed!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I feel like an elderly retired semi alcoholic boxer who lives in a knackered caravan in the desert, & who gets coaxed out of retirement (due to lack of money for booze) then immediately wins the world heavyweight title

[Mr_Bo11ox]

And whose estranged wife then takes him back

[tooSavvy]

My take..?

Everyone here wishes you the best... Enjoy sharing... Enjoy your "err, well, so 'here we all are'!" candid reportage & and cafe reviews.

WE ARE all 'with you' 👍♥️

🚙💨

[Mr_Bo11ox]

RIGHT I'm showered and up & about. Time for a quick tostada con tomate & some coffee then I'm going to Carrefour to buy a big tin of Spanish olive oil (yes I know, liberal elite remoaner class etc) then it'll be time to hit the road 

[loserone]

Olive oil and max out the personal wine allowance, every time you return to the UK.

[vulgalour]

The car is the best excuse to accidentally buy too much "Oh that?  I don't know, it was in there when I bought it".

Probably a bit early to tell about that one M8 😀

[RoadworkUK]

A few years ago, we were all going mad reminiscing over first moon landing. That all looks pretty mundane next to this if you ask me. A giant leap for shite exploration.

I brought 24 large bottles of Belgian beer back once and got searched. They suspected us of smuggling people and put us through the heartbeat detector FFS. In a 3 series!

Every time we come back on a ferry with the trailer it gets checked half a dozen times just in the queue.   Going to be worse now we have a bigger one!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Lovely morning for it, could do with stopping fannying about tbh

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Choke is absolutely fine 

[tooSavvy]

Should have put up 'bonnet shot' first... with 6 !!!!!!

.... Frighten the life out of us all 🤣🤣

👍

🚙💨

[dave j]

Looks like a cracking day for a road trip! How well did it start this morning? 

Good luck for the return journey

 

[sutty2006]

Get that hammer down son, keep it between the lines and head north for glory. Chodspeed 🫡

I'm guessing B is aiming for somewhere near Barcelona today? He says on page 1 hotel is booked for tonight. Look forward to the Sagrada Familia shot

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Barcelona? Got to be 45 mins South of Toulouse tonight man

[loserone]

Are you driving up through the Pyrenees then? That should be pretty spectacular

Would rather be doing that than sitting in an office like a big loser.
