Right so this started out Wednesday eve, I get a text from curt saying to check the forum as there is a 3door moonstone breaking, some of you may know I broke my door. So a couple of pm's and it's mine. Just need to get it, stupidly I mentioned the word roadtrip to fooby, and in true road trip fashion it had to be done immediately. So we planned to be up at 8.30 and leave. Slight issue on leaving, fooby get called to do a meeting a 9.40 which started at 9.50. So sat in my loung for an hour and then we set off.
Then stopped at foobys for monster energy!!!! Epic amount of banter on the way, and as we are nearing Cornwall I said to fooby to ditch the car in an escape lane, he said no, I told him it would be very funny. So he gives in, bins it in the gravel, laughed abit as cars went past us, then went to drive out. The whole front end of the car dips, and the car is about 40cm deep in gravel. So me and curt get out and alot of laughter began, car has lost half the wheels under gravel, so we have to push it out as everytime fooby moves it gets deeper. Haha. So it out. We begin the rest of the drive to st Austell, half a ton of gravel falling of the car, and the remainder of a ton jammed in between disk pads etc, the car is squealing, grinding and sounds like its dying. A very panicked fooby and me and curt almost crying with laughter. Didn't stop squealing till we arrived at the travel lodge. So we get out, unload the stuff, and fooby has to have another meeting with ze Germans. Then off to collect the door! While foobys busy me and curt went to the bar
Right off to pick up the door, at this point we still have no idea if it will fit in the car, got there. It fitted. But only just. Anyway that done now to go see Darren.
Get to Darren's place, see a million turbos, and an insane amount of engine parts.
Then back to the hotel, decided its a good idea to go to bed early, then fooby decides to go under the sofa bed. Got stuck and couldn't get out, alot of general assault with pillows, turning the lights off when ever anyone went for a piss and a very short night sleep. 4am we were up, I had work at 8. I slept most of the way back, arrived at work at 7.30 so half hour to spare. Epic two days and there will be lots of pictures to follow

What bits do you want?
I'll be in Cornwall over February half term, so I could bring them up, then you'd only have to drive to Cumbria for them.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

No one takes pieces from Darren's car. As for the trip, there is a distinct lack of pics in this thread.

Fooby seems to have a habit of getting his cars stuck! If only he had decent footwear to be able to push them out!
