It begins... Merc Coupe Collected.

[ruffgeezer]

First mode of transport..

PC 1

[cpjitservices]

Chod speed

[grogee]

I think it's a 1948 Seddon Atkinson tractor unit. 

May your windscreen wiper motor remain mobile, and your electric window switches be fully functioning. 

[ruffgeezer]

Arrived safely and early signs are good...

[ruffgeezer]

Utterly rammed on the train,  but breakfast acquired

Breakfast and Coffee, thats all you need!

[ruffgeezer]

McGrissle and egg with hot honey - very nice.

Any guesses for today's acquisition? 

I'm wondering how many of this post-skeggeh-holiday mob have tickets for their kid's feet.  😠 

[EyesWeldedShut]

Ford S-Max?

[ruffgeezer]

As we coast towards Grantham, I've booked the new car in for an MOT as it expired 4 days ago, the car having been off the road for a coupel of months.

The owner assures me he has the logbook,  both keys and the service history.  We might be on to something half decent here!

The interior of the train currently smells like your average S-Max.  Its warm, noisey and smells somewhere between foot odour and off-brand Nik-Naks

[EyesWeldedShut]

Hmmm - obvs you are familiar with the average S-Max then. However, despite no negation of my S-Max bid, it does sound like your previous experience may have put you off.
I'll upgrade my suggestion to......

2012 Scenic in this disarming alarming colour:

all from different cars

[ruffgeezer]

Grantham now, and a change of direction towards Nottingham. 

The lovely Cowgirls - Mrs R and her best friend - have departed here for a country festival at Belvoir Castle. 😔 

In my kit today I've my trusty fox well obd reader, a jump pack and a knocked down tool kit.  Thankfully I've also got my headphones!

[ruffgeezer]

Nottingham- lovely station when it isn't as busy as this!

[Lord Sterling]

So, I'll guess its either a 1942 Jowett Javelin, a 1955 Vauxhall Velox or a 2001 Vauxhall Astra.

It's the other half you need to worry about! Chodspeed.

[ruffgeezer]

A brief tramp through central Nottingham to Vicky's bus station via a similarly named shopping centre.

 

Handily the tunnel between the two doubles as a public toilet.

Straight onto the waiting bus from bay nein.

[grogee]

Does sound like a family bus so I'll retract my previous 1948 Seddon Atkinson guess. 

Voxall Zafira 1.6 pez 'Elegance' 

[ruffgeezer]

The only suspension here is my disbelief at how fucked a bus can be and still be in service.

Here again we are blighted by folk scrolling tikkytok without headphones - so common to see class like this on public transport these days and so my headphones are in and MJ Lenderman is on.

I had a Zafira once.  James Bond was envious of its smoke clouds, but not its unwillingness to start.  

I was 1 minute off of a delay repayment- that bloody journey cost me £5.50!  Why does everything here smell of piss?

[ruffgeezer]

A bit of the former, but still OK on the latter for now, thankyou.

Final stint is on the shoe leather.  Has anyone followed the clues yet?

[ruffgeezer]

Nice day for a wander.

[ruffgeezer]

Brown mile, send rain.

[bezzabsa]

Thought it was that 340 Ovlov in the station pic!!

[ruffgeezer]

Collected, it's a couple of hours home, I'll check back in later to see if anyone got a good guess in.

[Hertz]

Volvo Estate of some description?

[goosey]

Vauxhall Labrador? 

[High Jetter]

Hyundai i40 estate?

[bangernomics]

A bit of the latter, but still OK on the former, thankyou.

There were clues?

Welcome to the mid-Lands.

I'm going to take your 'wanderer' and 'horsch' clues and guess that you're collecting an Audi.
