Okay so I'm now officially on my rescue mission for my car. the old girl has been sat in a hotel car park for more than 2 weeks due to the snow 200 miles from where I live after my works Xmas do. Doh!

So I'm currently waiting for a train Which late (brilliant!) to take me to Glasgow where I'm going to meet a colleague who is going to take me to stirling. I have with me everything I can think of that I might need to get it started and home including recovery documents!

 

Wish me luck guys!

 

11:55 train due at 12:23.... Here's to hoping!

all the best !! :D

Good luck fella, sounds like a mission.

Don't forget the keys;)

Why would I joke about shit like that! *****cks have to get dad to meet meant oxenholme!

hate it when something like that happens! it has now truly turned into a mission.... best of luck to you !

Lol I can't do it to everyone tbh. I was intending on keeping this up but it

Makes me worry as well.

 

I have both sets of keys just incase one of the fobs has gone flat or

Something hehehehehe

Btw train left at 12:26 due in at 2:30 so already half an hour behind schedule

Considering iv got to get home then pack my work stuff and drive to Manchester after coming back from stirling. Argh going to be a long day!

enjoy the drive and have a safe journey..lee

nice and frosty and icey up here for you to perfect lol

Good luck Quavey, make it an adventure rather than a task, get yourself an engine booster pack, jump leads and tyre inflator in one, only £25 for a cheepo one from the Range, but always a great get me home unit, have a good day

Yeah I have been meaning to get one of those. Sadly though I just have some big jumpleads and a diesel v8 range rover sport. Should do the trick!

 

Actually I'm Hoping It Will just start but i Have brought everything on purpose. Sods law if i didnt i would do it but since I have brought it all will be well!

 

 

Cheers guys just passed the turn for Edinburgh although I should be in Glasgow by now grr.

Just about to come into

Glasgow central... 2:25 so quick dash to cambuslang...

mission accomplished???

hope all is going well bud.

Hope your safely on your way back mate :sailor:

it's a good 3 hour drive from stirling to Lancaster so im guessing that he's probably within 30minutes to an hour from home.

mission accomplished???

 

Just :)

Thanks mate

 

Hope your safely on your way back mate :sailor:

 

I was at the time :)

 

probably didnt start and he is currently cursing the fact he actually didnt leave it there and its actually tucked up in his garage. lol

 

I wish I was allowed space in my garage, although when I buy a house there will be a special house just for the zed to sit and rot in... lol

I did slightly better than you might think.

 

Train got into glasgow central at 2:25, i got a 2:34 to motherwell and left at cambuslang. Dived into a waiting rangerover and drove accross the stirling. Got there about 3:30.

Amazingly after all the preperation, 2 weeks 3 days in the cold with up to -15/20 temperatures. Showed the old girl a key and it started first time perfectly.

 

So after chipping all the ice of and letting it warm up slowly at idle (I know not ideal but i would rather do it that way incase a rad hose had split or anything) we were ready to go. So I left stirling at 3:45 and was home just after 7.

 

Biggest problems with the adventure were I suppose the traffic on the A80 (boo) and coming of at J13 for fuel it appeared to be a little more slippery than I first though.... Only my new found GT5 drifting skills saved me from a rearwards entry onto the round about at the bottom of the slip road!

 

Phew... tired now, 180 miles with crap lights! Dont think I have ever driven a 300zx as far in the dark before.

Nice work :cool3:

glad to hear you got home ok, chris.

 

Treating the old girl to a set of HID's then?

good to see you and the zed are safe

lol it has HID's they just are still fairly poor. Still dont know why, a cheap crap HID kit I think. I have re terminated the connectors and its made a big difference but still not good enough.

 

good to see you and the zed are safe

 

Cheers mate good to have it home to be honest. Been a bit weird it not being on the drive.
