Sloth in a bowl

The slothlet has a Mini that I rescued from the tip.

Looks like the graphics card in my PC has just cooked itself, dead fan. Oh well time for an upgrade.

My fav was the fall guy's GMC pickup truck. Huge air, big bounces.

The Agila was low mileage and looked pretty tidy. Not the worst car there by a big margin. The Liana was much more shite as was the Punto that went through very early.

The catalogue is here. I'm experimenting with an alternate scanner software solution. img20190908_22281685.pdf I'm sort out posting as individual pictures soon.

Sorry for the slow Autoshite auction game results. My scanner is not talking to my PC right now, which is odd as the PC will print through the same device, I'll post the full catalog and selections tonight once I have a chance to solve the problem but right now the results were: 14. BL Bloke - £4050 13. JP (Brother 320 Touring) - £3865 12. Davidfowler2000 - £3105 11. Mr CMS - £3075 10. Mrs CMS - £3070 - I adjudicated £400 for the missing price on lot 73, that maybe a little low. 9. Clayts 450 - £3060 8. Team Pillock - £3040 7. Anthong G - £2970 6. 320 Touring - £2965 5. BrownNova - £2945 4. Float Racer - £2865 3. Mrs BrownNova - £2685 2. FloatyLight - £2600 1. Sloth in a bowl - £2415

Borrow an elephant from Dudley zoo and tow it.

I'll be there 7:30ish. I have the Autoshite auction game forms printed out. Bring a pen or pencil on Saturday folks. Also got a few books to give away to anybody who wants them.

I'll take that Anthony. I'll also bring along a few motoring books, for people to take.

Ok, I'm in for a Friday night dinner.

The next Catalog is from July 2017

That was quick work, I wonder if any of the day 0 cars ended up abroad as we have seen a few eastern Europeans eyeing up stuff to ship and break. I also like that the cheapest survivor was is an old Renault Clio.

Given that I don't drive to work anymore, then I have somewhat more cars than my 5000 miles a year of driving really needs. My top pick would have been the £300 Celica

This tread was started due to a request from Pillock to be able to scout through the detritus of auctions past. I have various sheets from historic Cannock Auction Catalogs and will list them up in this thread as a historic record for future generations. The order that stuff appears will be a bit random and the odd page may be missing here and there but lets start with December 2016.

This will be a fairly quick run through of the 14 sets of results that I have, as my brain is currently turning into jelly. The categories were: 1. Automatic 2. Estate or MPV 3. 4x4, van or pickup 4. French or Italian badge or origin 5. UK badge of origin 6. Anything goes 7. 58 or newer plate 14th place - Squire - £4845 - Lots 69, 26, 74, 111, 38, 42, 53 13th place - BL Bloke - £4395 - Lots 55, 26, 173, 115, 40, 58, 51 12th place - Floatylight - £4275 - Lots 62, 511, 79, 115, 32, 40, 38 11th place - Conrad D Conelrad - £3470 - Lots 79, 26, 74, 505, 500, 42, 513 10th place - Team fat & Blind - £3390 - Lots 506, 36, 173, 111, 40, 26, 119 9th place - SoFarSoGood - £3085 - Lots 103, 511, 173, 111, 500, 116, 513 8th place - Cat (Mrs Pillock) - £3060 - Lots 79, 504, 171, 505, 511, 500, 54 7th place - PuddleThumper - £2905 - Lots 105, 44, 173, 111, 40, 109, 509 6th place - Family CMS - £2840 - Lots 79, 54, 173, 111, 107, 31, 38 5th place - Pillock - £2790 - Lots 105, 501, 171, 111, 500, 25, 54 4th place (and winners of the teams cup) - Team BrownNova - £2630 - Lots 27, 26, 173, 111, 104, 54, 508 3rd place - DaveFowler2000 - £2610 - Lots 27, 26, 173, 25, 500, 30, 38 1st place equal - Anthony G and SlothInABowl - £2245 - We both choose the same Lots 27, 26, 32, 25, 40, 104, 513 Despite the seeming distance from the winners to the pack, several people were just one dodgy choice away from a win. I'm still kicking myself for picking the rusty Ka (bubbles under the fuel filler) over the older but tidy VW Lupo. Bah and humbug. See you next time....
