Dale said it was full.

£1 a mile is probably correct to be fair. Done around 60 miles in it today and all seems good. It has a surprising turn of pace when you stomp on the pedal.

Well, it got me back the 15 miles from the garage so, touch wood!

She’s back!

That’s just the jap scene in general. Don’t think it’s worse than anywhere else.

Just turn up. All you need is a vape and snap back.

Replacement pump ordered. The one on there was some Chinese number so hopefully this solves the issue. If not, it’s a useful upgrade regardless.

I’m still saying fuel pump. I took it for a couple of laps around the block and it ran fine. I’m sure @bashracing and his trusty side kick Dave will get it sorted.

Update…. It’s still in Walsall but I have been told it will be delivered by dinner time TODAY. Let’s see what happens.

I think the issue is that they won’t book a truck. They are simply checking each day if one is available and doing it that way. If something is more of a priority they’re just sacking me off. Because I’m not with the car I am less of a priority than someone who is with it. Moral of the story -...

After categorically promising me the truck would be delivered tonight…..guess what….it’s not. Spoke to them and it’s now in Walsall and they can’t give me an idea when the next leg of the journey begins. Tried to escalate the call to a manager but they apparently don’t have managers or...

All quiet on the Birmingham front.

Driver one has collected the truck and it’s on its way to Birmingham.

Thomas is apparently going to pick it up. Should be collected by 5pm. I’ll keep you all updated.

New Truck Update… Walls were apparently on route with the truck BUT apparently that was not correct. The RAC man said that the head of Walls had given his personal guarantee that it will be delivered tomorrow. Yeah, right. So, I wasn’t happy with that so we are now going for plan F. The RAC...

I don’t think the C1 offered me much leverage.

He’s already told me it wouldn’t happen under a labour government.

I would if I knew where it was!

It stinks of piss and lavender inside.

Daily update; Walls the recovery agent who are supposed to be moving the truck had a better offer today so won’t be getting moved. The RAC are gonna see in the morning if they’re free and then look into alternatives if not. Its now 6 days since I broke down and the truck has moved a grand...

Dale likes tail.

Yeah, it didn’t seem that far to me. He implied I’d gone on the motorway before trying to fill up! We’re not friends anymore.

Ha ha, I just messaged the seller and told him that if he sells that white truck he might want to put some fuel in or at least tell them to bring a can. ‘The fuel station was only 5 miles away’ Yeah, I made it 4 miles mate. ‘Well, I put a tenner in 2 days before’ I don’t think £10 of super...

C1 is still running.

I think it’s more likely the fuel pump has had a bad time. When it cools down it runs fine but then gets warm and has a bad time but it can’t do it any good running it to empty.

Pick up update. Hopefully tomorrow. If not tomorrow hopefully Friday. I’m not hopeful at all but the RAC guy still has hope.

They’ll still move it in one go at some point this week. They just phoned to give me an update. The update was…..we’ll ring you tomorrow to update. Top update.

That’s very kind. Yeah, if I thought the RAC would pay for it I’d take you up on the offer but I very much doubt they would. plus I’d have to give the C1 back.

I’ve got hold of a decent guy from complaints now who is at least keeping us updated. Hopefully should have an idea today when it will be arriving.

Truck update. It’s apparently at walls truck services. They offered to have it delivered for me tomorrow but it would be relayed so would be 5 different recovery trucks, dropping off at different services and squatting the keys somewhere. I didn’t fancy it getting loaded and unloaded 5 times...
