Well - as we needed this n that, and certain 'items' needed moving, collecting and were just too good to turn down - me n OB hit the road again and spread the lurv ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
Pics are not good - apologies in advance - I was having too good a time to concentrate on camera work!
In the words of OB(wancanobie) - Thank god it didn't rain!![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
So........
Headed up to Derby - middle of Fri night and saw absolutely sod all - after clarifying WE were at the right services we offloaded 2 chips potential replicas into a transit.....

(you are a brave man or a lunatic my friend, taking them on
)
then pootled over to pick up FREE jaguar spares from an excellent young fella and his just as nuts family...... mum can be seen doing the Charleston - but behind is the Mk2 XJ6 he's doing and dads XJS lurks too
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/Ric2.jpg)
his mate showed up in his recently acquired XJS just before we dashed off - looked a good motor too

then we headed over to John - for spare wings for the Shogun. We got more worried as we headed further down a tractor trail into nowhere - until.......![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

No electricity supply - a generator and a mahoosive UPS from a redundant credit card manufacturer...... but with views like this who needs TV etc....

BACK TO CARS
Hit the motorway and lost count of the VW buses and MG's out n about..... of course no pics both of us knackered meant we were flagging a bit.
Stonking Magnette was really tanking it - 90+ for the 20mins we were behind him ;D
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/magnette.jpg)
picked up Shogun ;D ;D ;D
Off to Grizz - dumped it there for screen fitment and shot off to pick up OB's purchase.
He looked at this
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/caddy.jpg)
mulled over this
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/superchargedmustang.jpg)
but neither could compare with the breathtaking beauty, the style, glamour (and peanut price
) of this
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/pickedthis.jpg)
Back to Grizz's place - passed this
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/strippedoutpug.jpg)
and this Alpine (curse word pic - sorry - but it was immaculate!)
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/lovelyalpine.jpg)
towbars fitted to the vans and brakes done on the G-mobile etc... all went swimmingly![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
Food, banter and sleep later - return leg.
Smokin!
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/smokin.jpg)
only under full load though - it is a sweet deal
Got to tunnel - had passed these guys doing 60+
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/italianjob.jpg)
they're off to Italy
......... nutterz
So - a grand total of £600 worth of tat
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/total600quid.jpg)
boarded and chilled out a bit
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/goinghome.jpg)
and even managed one more spot when we refuelled just inside belgo-land - lovely 2door
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/lovelyminor.jpg)
Shook hands, convoyed up to Ghent and went our seperate ways home.
To quote a VERY good friend - "I'm not so smart sometimes"
but both myself and OB were definitely made up with the deals we managed this weekend smart enough we think.
Anyone commenting, thinking or complaining "that's a bit far for me" etc.... take another look at the people and places we saw in 24hrs! And what we picked up for a total of £600
![](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o313/gtvsaviour/Roadtrip%20April%2009/total600quid.jpg)
then get off your backsides and DO IT TOO!!!!!
