Haggle to £11.50 which leaves you a quid to spend in PoundLandWorld on some spray paint for all four corners. Every 600 ever has been touch parked every day since delivery.
Maybe if im feeling daring, try to take it down to 11.00, that gives me 1.50 to play with. Im might even be able to get some nice Alan Partridge styled Rover gloves with that!
-
The 600 has got to be one of the most underated cars ever, you could probably find a well kept low owner example for about £12.68p too for extra win.
Ill have to haggle down to 12.50 unfortunately

Hows the 800 hunt going Nick?
Its like trying to find a needle in a bloody haystack, however its going alright. Its hard to find one that either doesn't have a shit engine or shit bodywork, thats said its nice to see a few around on the internet. Im now apart of that 800 forum club and i put out a wanted thread.
Im also looking around at 600s and im even considering a 200 BRM. Not in any rush to get anything just yet though. Something right will come along soon however.

Bit naughty to list that as a GTI - its a 1.6 GL with GTI bumpers & wheels.
Then there's this:
Q: Hi Do you have a price in mind? Cheers
A: Hi, I would expect £5k upwards, but wil take offers
Dream on...

These people should not be allowed to operate such a device

What I like about that is the bloke is clearly having abit of a mare trying to A-Frame the Nova away but Nick is standing there with his camera out to capture the footage for us shiters!
"2 secs mate I just need to capture this whole debacle for Autoshite then I will be over to give you a hand"
You are 100% correct!
-
I find it hilarious.
Not as funny as what some people put in the description, there are some right crackers out there
-
it's not always* the camera uprightedness. It can be flaws in eBay's photo import routine
Yeah your right.
Im of the opinion that if your trying to convince someone to spend what amounts to a lot of money on your car, then you need to make it look the best you can on in its photos
I get more annoyed at the people who take photos on their iphone upright so it looks very narrow and tall just to show me the bloody grill, thats what really drives my nut in.

Im i the only one who finds it really annoying when some cock-munch cant even take proper photos?

That looks like a cheap ass A-frame, with a pressed tin coupling as used for those wanky 75kg garden trailers they sell in Halfords.
I think he’ll have had the legs of the A set too far apart letting them rub on the tyres. He could have adjusted that out if he’d had a clue what he was doing!
A-frames are basically not legal. But they are pretty safe if used sensibly, I.e. properly lit, with a decent weight balance between tower and towee.
Indeed he did not, a super nice bloke tho but the kindest way to describe him is "not the sharpest tool in the shed".
own a 4 wheeled dolly and an old single axle car trailer as well, but still default to the A frame every time, whatever the law seems to feel.
We suggested to the guy who came to pick it up that he should get a 4 wheel dolly. We had one several years ago and we had no trouble with it.
-
Would an A frame be any good at towing some like a Carlton or a Rover 800?

not a barn find! or a Mk1 escortWARNING! The seller is a certified tosser

Am i the only one who can see the resemblance

They are perfectly safe if you drive with your brain in gear, my record for A frameing is 240 miles but a few members on here have driven many more without incident. My frame has a slight bend in the reinforced bar due to lending to a friend who framed a Luton van with it, not recommended.
So not good for dragging heavy vehicles im guessing lol
-
-
...I wouldn't tow with anything 'small engined', but once you get going , its no real problem for the clutch... the car on the A frame can push you on, if your towing with a light enough car, especially if you brake suddenly or HARD; ....I have a Discovery 1 at the moment n A framed my MGB home - all of 3.5 miles; you'd nearly 'forget' lol there was anything attached/you were towing another car behind...
Indeed, im sure if we got it fitted correctly, he would of had no trouble as the Nova is a light little thing

Sold for the grand sum of 310 quid

...they do work though; Ive only ever dragged 'dead duck' cars 100 miles MAX home; and on one occasion I got a right telling off by the motorway cops for 'unchained' trailor (no safety chain to tow hitch); they told me to 'go and stay at a hotel for the night' and get a transporter to scoop this lot up in the morning- it was rush hour and I was 200 yards from the slip road exit, I was about to take... naturally I ignored the 'instructions' n just waited till got dark n carried on A frameing the heap home...
the A frame actually belongs to a mate of mine, who drags really decrepit looking heaps of shit home via the A frame, n never gets into bother.... he had 'magnetic' stick on tail-lights as part of the 'A frame kit' when bought... the tailgate he wanged them on was so rusty and full of filler, they detached completely at 40 mph, and smashed to bits in front of a lorry that was up his tail... ...of course he stopped on the hardshoulder n walked back to retrieved 'wat was left of said tail-lamps'....
How do they effect your vehicle though? i cant imagine its too healthy on your clutch
-
The chains do go around the bottom arm so not sure what the guy was on about, it looks like a cheap copy A frame so maybe not ideal, novas are nice and light to frame as well.
At least it's gone anyway
...they must have secured the A frame arseways for it to uncouple itself completely; I had one side of an A-frame uncouple from a mk1 golf I was draggin 70 miles home, but this was due to it being attached on a hill, by the 'over enthusiastically helpful' seller n 100 yards from the sellers house, it sort of jack knifed on me... which was scary...
you can adjust the 'width' of the a-frame to wishbone attachment points via the centre bar thingey... even attaching the chains round the wishbones, rather than through them, wont cause such an uncoupling episode, in my experience; as you say sometimes either no holes in the wishbones or a hole way too small for the chain thickness, so round the wishbone it goes....
Indeed, i had no idea on how they are supposed to work, however it looked like a handy bit of kit. It must of been a copy or something because it didn't look all too stable, i must admit i wouldn't of used his to drag a car 200 miles
For the sell... Vauxhall Agila
