Siray the Gnusmobile?

Don’t be silly, siray only works on i phones.

[ChewMember]

Just spoke to TJ and the car has been dropped off at mine

Stage 1 complete

[sam_underhillSubscriber]

This story is amazing.  Well done everyone!

[swavisSubscriber]

Well done to all involved 😀

*doffs cap*

[alanfMember]

Bravo!

[tjagainMember]

I do hope I found the right house or else some random has scored a Yaris

Nice drive down on a roads with a bit of nostalgia for me as I lived in Keighley when I was small

[jamj1974Subscriber]

Nice one guys!

[thepuristSubscriber]

Safe trip home TJ!

[MarkoMember]

Spanners at the ready*

*Not really, just thought I’d better see if I can post a picture!

** What size should I make the ‘constraints’ in the edit box?

[tjagainMember]

Very handy.   A previous train was delayed just enough for me to catch it at Leeds instead of having to wait an hour for the next one

Even the gods are helping.   No seat mind you but I have a can of cider to swig while sitting in the doorway and shouting at random people

[lungeSubscriber]

Fine effort one and all, top, top work.

[woody2000Subscriber]

Well done one and all.  Top work TJ, enjoy that cider 🙂

I bet you fit right in in scottishshire.

Well done!

[taxi25Member]

Tj 👍👍👍👍👍. And everyone else involved.

Easy now – lets not have a thread derailment 🙂

You should have bought a paper…. Jeremy.

I missed the start of this whole story – but this forum is alright isn’t it – some of the people here really are genuinely quite OK. 🙂

[nixieSubscriber]

Nice work 👍

[sbobMember]

this forum is alright isn’t it – some of the people here really are genuinely quite OK.

I could probably count on my genitals the number of posters I wouldn’t want to share a pint with.

Good people all round.

[maccruiskeenSubscriber]

It take a lot of balls to say that

(Thats why you walk like John Wayne)

[esselgruntfuttockMember]

Where’s the ‘Mint’ (awesome) button?

[bikebouySubscriber]

Awesome chaps.

How did the fund raising go in the end?

Any ideas??

[matt_outandaboutSubscriber]

I’m laughing and crying in equal measure

This.

I’ve a vision of tj with tandem on the Yaris, gnumas looking like the lead character from Waking Ned and Marko with full WRC pits ready…

[thepuristSubscriber]

How did the fund raising go in the end?

Current total over 800 quid. Great stuff all round.  Though not sure how much is left after tj’s pasty and cider bill.

[northernsoulSubscriber]

Fantastic work chaps, the best side of STW 👍

[ChewMember]

Yep, keys through the right letterbox. (Kinda feels like I should be at a swingers party……)

[andrewhMember]

Current total over 800 quid.

Jeez! Car was only worth about £300! I’m astonished.

Should be loads to get it back into tip-top shape, Yaris bits are cheap, train fares and petrol money for those delivering, tax and insurance. Anything else we need? If there’s any spare MrsH (car donor for those who missed that thread and just arrived here) and I have a pot for these guys http://radcliffedonkeysanctuary.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/ could we send the surplus there please? Everyone OK with that?

[ads678Subscriber]

Great stuff from everyone involved. You all deserve some good karma, get some numbers on the lottery.

Awesomeness all round guys.

TJ – love how you’ve really got into the spirit of this. Made me smile. And you kicked it all off.

and well done to the rest of the relay team and spanner minkeys.

[NZColSubscriber]

Superb work all.

[brakesMember]

[matt_outandaboutSubscriber]

Tj, you’re a smouldering hunk in a RabC kind of a way… 😍😋😂

[colpSubscriber]

TJ, in that last photo you look like the nutter on the bus.

STW = Simply The Wonderous forum on the interent.

Be great  to do a pre pay fuel card , so the car is not a large ongoing cost and gets used to good effect by the family gnusmas. if such a thing exists .?

[tjagainMember]

Chew – your turn now!  Is it Saturday you are heading south?  More ginsterfueled action please.

I really enjoyed my drive today in the end.  A gentle cruise down the A roads.  A7, bit of M6, A6 shap, A65 kirbylongsdale, skipton Halifax.

Sorry chaps – not technically literate enough to get live tracking – thats a challenge for Chew – especially as the 12 socket is borked

[mattbeeSubscriber]

Top work TJ. Loopking forward to the next instalment & glad to have donated.
