Posted 4 months agoThis story is amazing. Well done everyone!
Posted 4 months agoBravo!
Posted 4 months agoI 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
Posted 4 months agoNice one guys!
Posted 4 months agoSafe trip home TJ!

*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?
Posted 4 months agoVery 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
Posted 4 months agoFine effort one and all, top, top work.
Posted 4 months agoWell done one and all. Top work TJ, enjoy that cider 🙂

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. 🙂
Posted 4 months agoNice work 👍

I could probably count on my genitals the number of posters I wouldn’t want to share a pint with.
Good people all round.
Posted 4 months agoWhere’s the ‘Mint’ (awesome) button?
Posted 4 months agoI’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…
Posted 4 months agoHow 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.
Posted 4 months agoFantastic work chaps, the best side of STW 👍
Posted 4 months agoYep, keys through the right letterbox. (Kinda feels like I should be at a swingers party……)
Posted 4 months agoCurrent 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?
Posted 4 months agoGreat 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.
if you are tandeming through mid Wales we have a bed and dinner waiting for you.
and well done to the rest of the relay team and spanner minkeys.
Posted 4 months agoSuperb work all.
Posted 4 months agoTj, you’re a smouldering hunk in a RabC kind of a way… 😍😋😂

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 .?
Posted 4 months agoChew – 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
Posted 4 months agoTop work TJ. Loopking forward to the next instalment & glad to have donated.
