..That's the time Sam reckons he'll get to my house on his way to the far north.
Now taking bets on just exactly how delayed he is

Let's see, he's getting about 35mpg (of oil, that is), can carry about 10 gallons at a time before the law of diminishing returns really begins to take effect, will need to sell himself to be able to buy more... Next february?

He will have to stop for oil at least 12 times on that run haha

Apparently using a liter of oil every 100 miles. Macclesfield to pellowes is only 2-300 miles so 2 stops to top it up and itll be reet

I've a trade card waiting here for his arrival so he can refuel when he gets here. And by refuel, I mean top up everything other than the fuel.

I just love his response when asked about the trip:
"I hope it does break down, it'll be more comfortable in the cab of the AA truck, and I won't have to drive... And it's free fuel..." Lad.

Water temps were up at 100deg when he parked at mine, pretty sure he said that was post-rad too

hahaha that thing is a hero. the little puffs of steam that come out of the bumper when it pulls up anywhere just add to the character

And just so you all know, I made it to Stonehaven too!
370 miles from pugfest, 30l of veg, about 8l of engine oil, oh and the exhaust fell of just past dunfermline, so jacking up the side of the car on the side of the motorway to pull the remaining bit off... I suppose 70mph meetings with the cat's eyes on the motorway didn't do it any good... Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club
