<Troy McClure> Hi there, my name is @AnnoyingPentium and you might remember me from such collection threads such as 'Adventures in Repmobile', and 'That'll Be The Daewoo' </Troy McClure>

As is probably known, I like a bargain, and this one was cheaper than the mobile phone I'm writing this on, BY QUITE SOME MARGIN. Therefore, an early start it is. (Also thanks to @reb for the thread title)

Breakfast is one of Aldi's finest* porridge pots that in no way resembles the ingredients advertised on the tub. Dog isn't awake yet, so he's not coming with me. He's MotherPentium's problem today.

Trains are booked since my chosen lift's vehicle of choice decided to have HGF for the third time. If I play my cards right I can wangle a sale of this motor before I'm home with it.

If not, then the mate I've went halfers with on it, is keen to buy me out once he's back from America, eventually.

^ breakfast.

PC? One.

Music playing as I'm typing this out: Baby Come Back - The Equals

Here we go.

10/10 for CTI (Collection Thread Intro). And safe travels. So it's a Daewoo then? Bloody love an old, defunct and disgraced brand. 

May your poppet valves retain compression, and your parking space remain unsullied.

First mode of transport has been abandoned in favour of the second one.

Was a nicer morning when I did this two years ago.

The motor is about a tenth of the phone's value when new. Although I paid the phone up on a monthly contract. 😂

Think it was originally £1,000...

Got to ask

Whats with the radiator muff? Do modern cars really need them?
I remember blocking up the Austin 1300 rad with some foil covered cardboard back in the day

I'm not sure if it's just a placebo, but I think it's warming up quicker.

In the winter it makes a wee bit of a difference, if only because the heater is piss poor 90% of the time so the quicker I can have the asthmatic blower firing out sort of warm air the better to defrost the ice inside the windscreen.

There are some modern direct injection diesels with awful heaters that barely get up to temperature in the winter. 

Good luck A.P.

Carlisle achieved. Glad to get a walk about as well.

[AnnoyingPentium]

Managed to get the 09:52 from Carlisle to Newcastle instead of the 10:23. Result.

Listening to Genesis on tape with my personal stereo because my Bluetooth earbuds have died, and the cassette is the superior format.

Safe journey Mr Pentium

[AnnoyingPentium]

Must be a stag-do in progress. About 15 or so blokes all in lederhosen have just sauntered past.

Either that or I've had too much coffee.

Any more clues as to what heap lies at your destination? I need an excuse to keep me away from the decorating I’m supposed to be doing this morning.
