My very firwst collection thread!

[High Jetter]

I love reading collection threads. I doubt this will be as entertaining as most, and nowhere near the Simca 1100 or any of Mr. Bell's efforts, but I'll have a go.

I've been on here for 6 years, and not won any of the roffles I've entered. Because reasons, I'm going to pay the asking price for a vehicle - though I must say it's an extremely reasonable price. Some will know what I'm getting, but please keep it under your hats for the moment.

First leg, literally, will be a brisk*  walk to the station, hoping it stops raining first.

PC = 0 (worringly, for those I encounter on the way)

Breakfast Pt 1:

No, further away than that, and hopefully more reliable.

You think I'm pulling the dodge of taking 2 trains when 1 would do? Am not devious enough for that!

Like your thinking about the car, but the owner is very much alive.
