Parts Car Dragged Home

Winkle and I had a nice drive out in the country to pick up the parts car on saturday. We seem to be able to find amazing charaters to buy cars from. Tales of buying a fishing boat, filling the front with concrete and ramming oil tankers, all in the name of Green Peace! We think the guy lived in the caravan behind the huge mansion that you see in the pics, but he may have been the owner of the mansion with 5 arces in the middle of Ascot.....who knows.

We towed the Audi with Winkles huge truck on a solid pole, not stictly legal, but it worked well and got us back to PeteMate's place within a couple of hours.

The Car has all the parts we need to fix up the Quattro including Climate Control (even if the control panel looks like hifi from the 70's, very retro!

Parts Car purchased

So we need a few bits and bobs for the Quattro, basic things like windows and a rear seat! Tried various breakers but prices were to high for the spares we needed. Spied an Avant Auto going cheap on ebay so popped a last minute bid on ebay......got it for £52, just the ticket!



Pick it up next tuesday evening.

Hotel & Ferries Booked

Not been much Scally action going on for a while as work has been eating way to much time! But we have booked the ferries and the hotel in Calais.

www.norfolkline.com came up top trumps with a £51 return deal from Dover to Dunkerque.

Have booked the etap in Calais for the Thursday night, awaiting news on other hotels before we can book any.
