A midweek collection, that turned into a delivery. Without me.

Where to start?

For the first time in 10 years, I'm on nightshift. This happened while I was tucked up in bed.

No1 and No2 son work together 1 mile away from home. The cars they drive don't get warm. They mentioned they wanted a cheap runner to share that can be dumped in the car park, and not worry about. A Citroen C2 VTR was looked at. Then a £400 MINI in Whitley Bay was chased but unanswered; the £400 mini, with what it may need, would soon turn into a £800 mini.  I mentioned this to a good friend, who said they could have a car that he owns for £££££.

N02 son thought he had a problem with his car, so a couple of Sundays ago we took it out for a long blast (no problems), just short trips. I mentioned the conversation I had, had regarding the other car. He was interested. No. 1 son was told of the conversation, and he wanted to look at the car.  A conversation was had with the owner, and a deal was done. We have split the cost 3 ways.

The collection was to be this weekend, ready for a new month, but both lads are off this week and wanted the car. A message and payment were sent last night. With collection this morning.

PC count from me is 0. I'm not asking the others.

The breakfast photo is 0 as I was in bed.

No pez shot as it has 1/2 a tank.

As the car isn't taxed or insured, my lads were going to tow the car back the epic distance OF           0.53 miles, from @gm's house to mine.

When the lads arrived this morning @gm said he'd insure it for a hour and drive it up the whole 0.53 miles. home.

So what have we bought?

 

 

Yep, another MINI, our 3rd. This time a Cooper S.

A big thank you to @gm

The alloys have been resealed as they were losing air; new rear pads have been bought, that's tomorrow's job.

Plans.

Coil-overs have been bought for N01 son's mate, unfitted. A new sound system that I won from @Keymaster last year.
