No poo count

But 2 mini chewy pork pies from Asda, the other 3 got binned, and a £2.30 bottle of water from Derby station.

In the interest of equality, I hope this collection thread has been (and will remain) as boring for you as it has been for me!

You've hacked the system haven't you? A friend posts his cancellations most days on Facebook, how on earth these forms still have a franchise is beyond me.

Quick stop upon entering Wales as I suddenly had flashbacks and decided I'd have to take some time to learn what the vague wafting about of the needle in the fuel gauge meant in terms of how much petrol I did or didn't have. Plus who doesn't love a petrol station shot in a collection thread?

I really need to give a 2CV a go sometime. Probably a rusty one that is cheap and I can sort out of course. But probably a few of them about and the bodies I think have panels readily available?

They do. ECAS is probably the go to specialist, and everyone raves about the SLC chassis.

Prices have gone nuts though and it's well worth getting someone who knows them to check them out with you as there are lots of polished turds. 3 of the 4 I've seen have been utter shite. 1 needed a new chassis, but the big deal with a chassis change is all the rust you can uncover. 1 had wavy sills very obviously made of nothing but filler and they want 10 grand for that! 1 you could put your hand through the boot floor and had several other smaller holes.
