Car storage aberdeen...rig time

[Gumball]

Guys,

Anyone that works offshore. Any ideas where I could keep the scoob when offshore, dyce?

I hear the longstay want you to leave the keys with them. no.

Any brilliant ideas you want kept secret, please PM me.

I need help

Even someone with space for a small RB320 for 3 weeks at a time would be good :-)

I used Aberdeen airpark for years and have never had an issue.

They do take your keys but believe me your car will not be at any risk it's in a 24hr manned compound and no they don't tare about in your car!!

I now just park at the airport thistle as i have worked out a way of getting free parking

The last time I left my Impreza at the Airpark it got damaged, so I wouldnt recommend leaving your RB320 there.

I bought a runaround to leave at the airpark instead.

Give Gav at Detail Ecosse a call. He can store cars and is based at Newmachar. He can drop you off at the heliport.

You can even have it cleaned for you coming home.

I have a Granny in UKSF excused wearing boots, and a duffle coat with no buttons.

Would that help?

i have parked in the air park for years with no probs, but i have been told of a few people that have had a bump in their car

[RA Dunk]

Aberdeen Airpark for me as well , been leaving my car there for years with no issue, when dealing with the ammount of cars these guys do bumps will always happen I suppose, I have also heard they have fixed every bump they have caused.

[Gumball]

cheers for the advice guys. Mostly was great. One in particular was splendid.

Ill look into the various places a little more.

Granny in UKSF excused wearing boots and PT is brilliant ! I hope she appreciates you letting her OPSEC down

Cant see you getting any more secure and safe than Aberdeen Airpark TBH Chris, manned 24/7 with security cameras all over the place.

[Gumball]

Thanks for the help and PMs guys. Much appreciated.

Looks like im heading to Dundee for a while then the rig will sail out.

Ill come back to you when I know more.

Muchos gracias

Crewed up with Gung ho Yanks, I've been on the Gorilla 7 before and didnt like the mentality of the place TBH.

That was a few years ago now though, maybe/hopefully it's changed.

"If Y'all got time to lean, Y'all got time to clean" was the phrase they liked to use.

and the rig was pretty sh1te as well TBH, fooking mahoosive thing it was but absolutely no comfort on it, no comfy sofas to relax on after shift, no TV room, the cabins were pretty decent though :kerstsmiley:

but would have been alot bloody better if they had TV's in them

[Gumball]

Is the 7 where you met senior Provan? Hes now on the 6.

Ill be on the viking which has just been built in singapore.

''turnin burnin hell'' and ''time to lean, time to clean'' all sound familiar.

They can get the rousties to do that, ill watch from the floor

No it wasn't with Rowan I met yer old man Chris, it was one of the Ensco rigs canny mind which one now either the 70, 80, or 85. (On the last count I've been on something like 24 different rigs it's hard to tell who I've met where now lol )

Yea, there's no mercy with Rowan thats "for sure", not my cup of tea TBH.

There'll be plenty of scrubbing on the drill floor especially on a new build, so you wont't be watching the rousties for too long lol :madnoel:

[Gumball]

think he went to the 80 after the 72 in 2004/5 and then the gorilla6. I expect they will be hard work indeed but ill manage im sure. New rig defo means ''keep it clean as long as possible''

In some ways an older one where everything is bogging would be better.

Rowan Cowboys :kerstsmiley:

Must have been the 80 then, your old man was pretty good as company man TBH, think I was a Service Operator with Brandt (Skip & Ship) when I bumped into him, Even though I had never seen him before as soon as I seen him for the first time I knew who he was and who his son was :biggrinsanta:

Where is he nowadays?
