Places we have gunned our cars to for food and was it worth it.

Inspired by @salty derailing another thread, I have created this one, it is self explanatory.

I took the Cupra over the Forth Bridges last week, heavy right foot all the way, to Down the Hatch South Queensferry, mexican skillet breakfast was had, outstanding.
I would have took the wife's Trophy but I thought I may have seen someone I knew, kidding!!

Breakfast outstanding, efficiency crap on the way, annoying ice drivers happy days

Well as you all know, I am a huge fan of The Greasy D.
And if I leave my home at 10:30, I can be assured to roll under The Golden Arches at circa 10:50.

" But Chris, What happens when you leave later than the aforementioned 10:30?"

Well sweet reader, it's like this......

I don't bother to lock up, and go straight out the door.
No need too where I live, I once left the place unlocked for a week!

Anyway I digress, quicker than usual 50m stroll to the car, open door sit down boot up into Sport and we're off.

Straight out onto my own Welsh rally stage for the first mile, mud, leaves and badgers being thrown up behind me.

Single track all the way, so can't go too mad in case I meet 'Bertie Big Bollocks' in his massive New Holland tractor.

That's the first mile covered, then left onto a B road for the next 3 miles to Whitland Town.

Efficiency be damned from here on in, where every 10th of a second will count to make sure that I don't fall foul of the 11am cut off.

A long stretch of 20mph road up to the A40 has me questioning the last Welsh First Ministers decision, I call him names even a Docker would be embarrassed to hear. 30mph just seems so quick now.

Then the blessed relief of the A40 and.......Oh no, traffic and more than I would like.

But have no fear gentle reader....
You don't fear traffic when you have 430 electric horses on tap.

Dispatched, Dispatched, Dispatched!
You hear me cry!
Electrons whizzing out of my car faster than the wind turbines can make them.

Traffic? What Traffic!

Those last 4 miles chewed up and spat out with ease.
Efficiency not considered.
Price per kilowatt hour? Who cares.
Speed limits?
What speed limits!

What man (or woman) could possibly worry about speed limits when missing your Double Sausage and Egg Mc Muffin is on the line?
Hell not me!
Not in this story anyway.

A poem for Archev.....

Into the drivethrough at 10:58
My God I have made it
I'm not even late.

Some praise it must go to the car makers sure,
But only when they stop vibrating my floor.

One day it is hoped, a fix will appear,
but until that fine day, I could really live here.

A Maccy D's is quite bad for your health, some might say,
But here from this place, you won't tear me away.

My life, my rules, my heart, that is true,
So this work of fiction won't matter to you.

Alternatively , Take a sawn off baseball bat with you and say " What 11am cut off point "? " really ".

Did I mention I’m a life member of the Poetic Badger League ?

I knew that underneath that sweary thread derailing uncouth ex pongo exterior beat the heart of a misunderstood life poet just trying to fight it's way to the surface

Honest Pal.
They're sticklers for it.
If you get to the drive through screen and the menu changes to Lunch you're buggered.
The answer though, is to go through without ordering and walk in the front door.
They will usually have some breakfast items under the lamps for up to 10 minutes which you can nab, after the 11am cut off.

You're a font of knowledge.

My last visit if I remember correctly was 15years ago when a flyer came though the post, 2 big macs for 5 euros . Seduced I went to Cherbourg ( nearest at that time) and still felt ripped off, coffee was good though! Each to their own ?

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

Yes, it's got quite expensive now, but in the UK if you like coffee you must try it.
Knocks Costa and Starbucks into a cocked hat IMO, and all for £1,79p

You can generally take it or heave it.

All sounds great.

The rest of us just congregate up a b road on the right, wait til a blood ‘n badger spattered streak heads up the road and go and enjoy making our own coffees without any breaking and entry being required.
