Doing a collect - Mission Complete

[captain_70s]

The Volvo 740 is failing to spark joy. The quest for a new daily beater has begun.

A light breakfast.

A normally packed case for your average train journey.

Why have you packed a Wolf? 😀

Companionship and defence.

Tis a Vice Grip Garage-ism,  referring to a hand trigger used to operate the starter motor while stood at the engine bay.

But if he's a Lone Wolf he's going to be shit, will just ignore you on the train...

All the best, looking forward to seeing what's next.

I'm glad you've finally seen the light and realised you need a modern daily..

 

Bonne chance!

Modern? With a timing light and no OBD reader? 😅

Everything is relative...

My last car purchased was built in 1956. Can confirm the new car to be practically brand new in comparison.

Seals? Are there fish to be eaten? What good will one of those flappy bastards be at pushing some overheating cack into a lay-by?!

They'll clap, to provide encouragement!

Close enough.

Is it a Supercharged Rangey from the south coast? @Bear will be off my Christmas card list if it is 😘

[warninglight]

I know that blue box.

Bolbo blue.

Bon chance.

740 failing to spark joy suggests it's time for a 760.

I reckon that’s a red herring and the box is actually full of K Series bits.

Jeopardy level = high 🫣

Have you stolen one of @Kiltox's Astras? 😳

[loserone]

Is it you who exercised dibs on HMC's 156?

[captain_70s]

Arrived at the Edinburg.

Now to make myself comfortable* on train no.2 for the next 4hrs...

No Rangies or Alfas on the agenda. I'm stupid, not stupid.

I'm still waiting for pictures - if you're actually in the Hove sort of region at some point and wish to see it yourself I can try and get a contact but it is friend of a friend process!

[Bear]

I wonder if this is some sort of Weird car in the general vicinity of Volvo 740 nature...
