Foccer relay
« on: 07 June 2014, 08:19:36 pm »
Thought I'd post a reminder, and let the young uns know about something that was used loads in the past, but I haven't seen mention of recently.

Time was, when some ugly foccer needed to get something around the country, they would post it up on here. As there's a fair few foccers travel around a fair bit, there was often one (or 3,working in stages), could get the item where it needed to go. Obviously no good if speed is an issue, but it would be good to see this running again.

Not just another forum, a real community...

I can ferry stuff round Cambridgeshire in the Peugeot in exchange for beer.  :)

Yeah, that's great Christo, but you'd crash and likely destroy the goods, so that's foc all use.

NEXT!!

Erm, didn't you spin it, through blatant lack of maintenance despite good warning? Only through good luck  that wasn't a crash...

Nah, no trouble since. And later trips showed that the field next to the turn had got mo0re traffic in it. Bad road conditions, and too much speed.

The car's fine, I tells ya!  :D

Get it to Peterborough, I can take it to Cambridge no worries. I'll sling it in the boot with me work boots, 2 fairings and an empty diesel can. :)
