Welcome to the mid-Lands.

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

‘Horsch’ named already 😏

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.

Tenous the last one...

Straight onto the waiting bus from bay nein.

Probably the cheapest automatic I could find.

It's a C200 Cdi, it goes reasonably well but there is some undisclosed paintwork to look at...

I'm tempted to wet sand it, it cant look much worse!

98k on the clock and enough history to choke a donkey, MOT moved to Thursday morning.

Welcome to the Peanut gallery...

But please don't mention suspension.

C Class, you say? 
 

This arrived yesterday at NM HQ. It’s a complicated little sod…

[NorthernMonkey]

It is, however, only a temporary means of transport provided by my new employer.

Soon to be replaced by a T6 van, I’m led to believe.

This one is to release Mrs R's Mokka so we can go shopping for a Pez auto.  Hopefully it'll not want much for MOT.

Surely this is husband of the week material? Getting rid of a mokka for a fun summer/autumn beater? Should be a blast on the fen roads your way too 🤞 

Your such a kind, lovely man 😍

Both of yours look good though, this one is rather down at heel.

Used parts are plenty dear enough, aren't they? Twenty quid for a fucking sun visor!

Definitely better for a bit of wet sanding, but it's too hot to be stood out hand sanding now.

Well the MOT results are in - there's a fair few advisories, but only one fail - NSF  rear arm ball joint was utterly cunted. I'm surprised the car drove as well as it did to be perfectly honest.

I got it fitted today, but not in time to get it retested.  I probably ought to track it but I really couldn't be arsed today.
