I thought I'd let you read a tail of Nodzed's purchase of his winter project.
I offered to help Niall to collect his Z3 2.8 only to be told it was in Bodmin
We arranged to collect the car last Sunday which meant I need to wake up at 6am finding I had a soar throat and feeling man flu coming on I got ready to leave for Niall's house arriving at a little after 8am.
A quick cup of tea and a chat about the day we set off at 8.30am driving to the M5 via the Severn Bridge
We drove to our first stopping point at Taunton Deane Services for a coffee break with a Mc Donald's breakfast. We hit the road again driving to our next stop feeling the man flu getting worse while waited to meet up with @Jack Ratt and Jill after a phone call we agreed to meet up at Chris's the guy who had sold the car to Niall.

Having said our good byes we had a short drive to Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway

for a quick look round and a chat over a brew
A few photo's of the Zed's together
Because of the road works on the A30 Gary said he would kindly take us via other roads to avoid this on our return journey with a courteous wave we when our separate ways. Thanks Gary and Jill it was great to be able to spend some quality time with you both again
Heading home Niall pulled into a lay bye as we both need to check the hedging urgently as we walked back to the car I stepped into European lorry drivers feces the last thing I needed. so there I was sat in the hatchback picking at the tread on my trainers with a McDonalds straw.
Niall renamed me Shoe Sh1t Steve
Once back on the road we made good progress only pulling over for fuel and a tooth brush to clean the bottom of my trainer.
Driving back to Niall's stable to park the stable mates together
A quick drive to Niall's for another brew for the 1.5 hour trip back to mine only to find I'd left my house keys at Niall's. FFS round to Mom's to pick up a spare key.
