Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

[Archev]

Then a dozen or so mad folks doing a charity tour on jet skis gave an impromptu appearance right in the bay in front of Applecross inn where they had paused for refuelling. I was unaware those craft ran on cask strength Aberlour. They wouldn’t have lied would they ?

 

[Archev]

I’m getting excellent range today. That’s coming up for 5.5 km from a single portion of porridge, two strips of bacon and a wee tattie scone. Berlingo hasn’t moved a wheel since Friday, hampered by the tent clinging on.

Aha, so was it just the RS that had the droop snoot and was later incorporated into the Mk 3 design? I'm just remembering from youth and not a Ford aficionado as curiously never had a Ford until 1985, a Granada.

Was that the new shape with ABS, or the older three box style?

Yep, that would certainly, do it.

You're not saying @Archev's Berlingo isn't powerful enough to move a tent and few pegs, are you?

 

[Archev]

Pity the poor ice vehicles with their range requirements. If they’re so good why aren’t these Applecross charge stations for ev’s then ?

Hey don’t you underestimate my pegging ability there

Love to see that! That would be a sight. Going down the road, with the Tent, Flapping about at the back.

Never ever, seen one of them, before. Love the Fire Bucket.

Think I’d be in a flap too

Mostly worrying about my declining memory !

Is that a euphemism for something I don't want to know

 

[Everest]

That would be a site.

Well, it wouldn't be on a site anymore, but it would be a sight

Gracious no keep to the narrative, I’m only talking hooky things hammered ……..och I give up

Ooop's.

 

[Everest]

good to know

 

[securespark]

Phew!

Returning to the Berlingo last night at around nine o’clock when the forecast had said thundery showers.

 

[Archev]

Here’s an interesting fact - it’s three twenty five in the morning and i’m hearing aircraft.
I’ve checked the flight radar app and there are six planes up there going to or coming from Rykejavic and one from Tokyo heading to Paris.
OK I’ll get back to sleep now I’ve sorted that out

That was a 3 boxer. Later had a F reg new shape. Lovely cruisers and loads of family space. Both bought second hand of course and were in fact the only 2 Fords I have ever owned.
