My 4th Collection This Year

[Split_Pin]

If I could actually stay away from the For Sale section, you lot stopped posting up nice cars there, I had will power and never spoke to anyone ever again then this might not happen.

But none of that is ever going to be the case so, here I am drinking another pre- collection coffee.

No public transport this time, this one starts with one of my own cars which will come back later on (there will be public transport involved that time).

It's an eminently sensible purchase this time, but still interesting.

I was with you right up until you said sensible 😆

Good luck, break a leg and all that, we'll be watching (in a non sinister way) 

[Nibbler]

My guess is an Saab 9000i or an Astra.

Neither of those. 

[Split_Pin]

Just about to leave.

What's going on here 🤔

 

[Agila]

Subaru wheels. Excited. 

Hopefully some sort of legacy/outback with shit or no wheels that you are going to put these on.

Where you are going is pretty obvious especially with the clue in the picture.

No public transport is another helpful clue.

If I have 2+2 together it will be familiar territory.

Hopefully a nice day out anyway.

[Split_Pin]

Quick pish stop at Southwaite and some fuel.

Nope!

It seems to me like you're dropping the BMW off with a certain mechanic in the NW of England for the gearbox work, and you may be receiving a certain Subaru Impreza recently liberated from NE Scotland as a courtesy car.

Correct on point 2 but no courtesy car needed 🙂

To many, yes but uncharted for me!

Noo! I'm keeping the E46!

C U SN

Another A4!

Seems strange that we are bringing more convertibles up to Scotland, just as the winter approaches 😂

[Split_Pin]

Drives fantastic. It has the same Dave Q map and DPF delete as my red one so has loads of torque. This one is very tidy indeed though, valeted lovely too. Many thanks to NorthernMonkey!

A great drive down and up in the sunshine so far as well. 

Time for some early tea at possible the most Autoshite services ever, Lancaster 😅

[Tickman]

I'm glad my deductions were correct.

Hope it serves you well.

[NorthernMonkey]

I can’t believe I’m down to my last four convertibles 😢😂

[Split_Pin]

..and hame.

Went through some rain showers that were like bullets but apart from that went very smoothly.

54mpg, used 1/4 tank of diesel.

So this is my entire fleet at the moment ☹️

That makes us equal, 4 each this year and 3 of mine were from the forum.

I haven't bought a non-forum car since *that* Honda Civic in 2021! I have lost count now 😂

I did a count up recently 42 in 11 years, trouble is I still have 19 of them!
