An 8C went to see

Originally I planned to go to Manchester and take my picture in front of a local landmark like the cathedral, the library, or a pub. However, I'm not likely to get that done this week due to work pressures.

Then I thought what could be more iconic than my bins.

So...

I want to see a picture of it on top of the Alfa Romeo window decal I sent to you about 15 years ago G. :D

Well, well, well. Look what has arrived!

For tomorrow, a magnificent journey will begin! To celebrate it, the Mayor, towns folk and the global paparazzi will all be present. It’s a shame, because the Alfa and I plan to be elsewhere. :)

I’m also happy to report that, even though the 8C has barely started its voyage, it is a true Alfa; yep, the suspension is already creaking. :)

More pics tomorrow

I think it’s going to LiamBates next, mate. There’s a list you need to pop your name on. I’ll find the link. One sec.

here you go: page 6:

Thanks Scud, already on the list for 10th July, just wondered where it's coming from (y)

I checked the oil, let the engine warm up gently and took the 8C with me on some errands I had to run today. These took me to Maidenhead, and so I stopped by one of my favourite old stomping grounds, Horseguards. Not only is it serene by the river, but you have a Brunel bridge to admire, too. I’m pretty sure I heard the 8C give a little throttle blip of approval. It’s now on its way to LiamBates in Worcester.

Maidenhead is where I theoretically work - where my office address is.

Been with the company for 5 years now, and haven't set foot there yet.
Scud, as per KB's post, could you give it a total mileage please (I guess route planner will suffice from Keithyboy to your address plus your day trip).

Be good to keep a running total.

Oh yep. No worries. I forgot. It was the excitement :) Two ticks :)

Ok:

From KB to me = 218 miles
Roundtrip Maidenhead to Surrey = 30 miles
Surrey to Liam in Worcester = 113-ish miles

So it will have covered 362 miles when it arrives at Liam’s(y)

You tell me where it is, and I’ll stand outside and describe it for you :)
Cheers Scud.

Will get it over to the Cathedral or the Malvern Hills at some point but for now here it is with the red one in the garden:

The 8C made it into town today, although sadly by the time I got there it had clouded over.
