Sorry about the 'long pause for effect'
Been busy on the volvos - lets try get this tale up to date.....
Well the sleep didn't last so long - I woke up just after 5 freezing to death and the 530d does not get warm on idle for ages so only way to thaw out is to get her moving - full boost up the m6
I got to Glasgow for 8am to ditch the big ol 6 series as arranged - no sign of the guy, no sign at the business address - just an empty looking unit, no one around and no answer on his phone, hmmm
Oh well, launched the 635 off the trailer into the driveway, stashed the keys in it and took off
I'd been paid upfront so job done I figured....
Next stop - longniddry (east of Edinburgh) to do final get what I really wanted, my estate...
635csi man finally calls back and he's over the moon - happy days
So I'm almost to the town where the estate is and yet another phone number that does not get answered
After an hour long mystery tour of the town and winding up at a massive potato farm courtesy of the duff postcode, spud farmer boy sent me the right way and bingo !
Up a little gravel road to an old mill and there she was - waiting for me
Loaded her up and headed southbound in the sun....
Couple more stops on the way - first in Hawick, borders to hand deliver some mk2 escort seats that I sold on eBay - shocked the poor old bugger when he realised I wasn't a courier but the seller from London.
Then to collect an e30 Beemer engine for the trailer owner from some Latvians in Nottingham.....
And back to my workshop.....
Finally the 2 sat side by side........
1000 miles in 30odd hours - and the last few were pretty odd !
