I'm offline for the next week or so.
If anyone want's to get in touch with me for any reason, several of you have my mobile number...use that.

[Philhod]

Wow Smiffy. Have you scored at last???

[Bx Bandit]

Well whatever you're doing mate, have a laugh!

I understand he's in Cornwall, how I dont know since his car is now dead, although I dont know where that is either actually.

[Philhod]

Fuck, that means he could be dead and his cars in Cornwall

[docchevron132]

Pretty sure he's alive.
I spent an interesting weekend trying to find JDizzle another set of BX turbo wheels, didn't end well.

[smiffy]

I'm not dead, and the car is at the farm parked behind the oilypan, as it's no longer MOT'd or taxed. Key for it is <EDIT> up my asre, like my brain</EDIT>.

It was my mothers 60th birthday, so I went to cornwall for a few days to join my youngest brother, my sister her husband and their little ones. We rented a couple of static caravans, in a holiday park just near padstow.

I made use of the company staff rail discount, £5 for a go anywhere on the First network ticket can't be a bad deal!

[docchevron132]

How the fuck did you get back from the farm then?
Do you have wheels yet?

[smiffy]

Your dear father was there, and kindly gave me a lift to muller rd top.
No, I don't have transport, so I won't be at the farm tomorrow. This week really is going to try my patience, going to work on the bus, then staff bus home...... FTL !

[docchevron132]

ahh right.
So, you dont fancy a 4x4 BX estate then?

[smiffy]

not really.... unless it's VERY cheap.
Heard too many bad things apout them, and frankly I'd prefer a diesel.
I'm looking at Xantia HDi's, and even C5 HDi, although to be honest, I don't really want to pay that much!

[docchevron132]

It's at the Westons, I'm looking at it in the morning.
Shame there's a total lack of BX TZD's about right now..

You do realise if you geta Xantia I'll never touch it, just point and laugh.
Oh, and a fucking HDi Xantia? Are you mad? If you must go Xantia, go 19TD. Bland yes, but reliable and easy to fix.

We could just weld your BX up?
Replace the complete sills, make some proper patches for the sill shuts, inner wing, chassis legs, rear bulkhead...
Actually, it already sounds like a bad idea.

Hmm..
Back to the drawing board.

[smiffy]

Somewhat pissed off that gary renegged on selling me his car.
Fact is I have to get some wheels in the next week, and NO LATER.
Concert in London is only 2 weeks away... and Cheryls, or stuarts cars have baby seats in them.

[docchevron132]

mine doesn't.
Wait a minute. What date is the concert?

[smiffy]

October 10th.
Your car doesn't have baby seats in, but you can't fit all those empty coke cans, and pie wrappers plus 5 adults in at the same time...

[docchevron132]

oh balls.
Erm, I can't go.
I do occassionally empty the shite out of it ya know.
What time are you thinking of setting off? I suspect you may be able to sell a ticket sadly.

[smiffy]

What could be so important that you would forgo a concert that you had been looking forward to for several months? I'm sure her indoors can go shopping on her own...

[docchevron132]

?? Erm, Jon's wedding is on the Saturday, and I'm providing vintage bus, Rolls Royce and prison bus home etc etc, which means a logistical nightmare to get all this shit back to their respective homes the following morning see.

[smiffy]

We'd need to be leaving bristol not later than 3pm on the sunday afternoon. Find parking, doors open at 6, concert starts 8pm
