Autoshite regional auctions: Join in!


Recommended Posts

There's a few around Leeds - http://www.independentmotorauctions.co.uk/ - is good IIRC, but the Mannhiem one seemed full of modern tat the last time I went.  It's been 6 or so years since I've been (the length of time it's taken me to do my OU degree!) but now that's finished, I'm sure* the wife won't mind me going to these again.

I'd be up for a meet at one, isn't there a Norfolk classic one on a Saturday sometimes?

 

Otherwise for East Mids people theres Newark every Tues & Thursday evening http://www.newarkmotorauctions.co.uk

 

 

The next classic car auction in Kings Lynn is on Saturday 9th of October is anyone is interested:

I'll be going. I'll be the man with his hands firmly in his pockets to avoid getting carried away over the G-Wagen.

We could all invest £100 buy some tat to mend and sell and turn Autoshite into a legitimate nationwide car sales venture.

 

Today Ellesmere Port tomorrow er, Ellesmere Port still as it will inevitably turn into a right palava.

What about British Car Auctions at Belle Vue, Manchester?

The place looks dystopian enough for my taste.

Oval track nearby...

Three so far for bangers 'n' bacon sarnies at Cannock, then! PM me, gents...

I reckon I could do a Sunday at Elly Port once I've got the NEC and all that stuff out of the way.

We could give it a trial run if nothing else and I think there's a café there too, so butties and brews aplenty. If someone fancies being the lensman {cough JON cough} we could knock up a report to post on here afterwards and maybe, just maybe, even a 'live' review? Anyhow, that's probably running before we could walk so let's just see how it goes for now. 

 

Right, shall we aim for say Sunday 23rd November at Ellesmere Port, hopefully that's enough notice/close to pay day for most people? Names down please if you fancy it, thanks!

Let me know if you feel like going with a shiter who will probably try to persuade you to make very unwise purchases.

 

I'd definitely be up for that, will have to have a look for suitable places and times, would have to be an evening or weekend for me.  

 

As for unwise purchases, no chance.  None.  Absolutely not.  No way.

"just maybe, even a 'live' review?"

 

I wrote a computer thingmy a while pack that lets you post an image on a forum like this then it does a live update of pictures (I.e. it changes the picture) as you send updates from your phone. I'll see if I can re-activiate it as it'd be gr9 for stuff like this.

Please, Glen, that'd be ace.

Bollocks. I'm working that day, which could possibly be a blessing, as it means I won't be arriving home with a marriage-threatening pile of old chod.

 

Maybe next time.

I'm out. :sad:

Of the country! 8)

Going to Cyprus to visit friends/deliver parts.

I recon I've got this working again. You need a phone that you can send e-mails with a picture as an attachment. Everytime you send a picture it'll update a specific picture on here. It works like a slow shite roving web cam.

Hmm, this is proving tricky, I can only find Husseys (stop sniggering at the back there) http://www.husseys.co.uk/ in Exeter.  Quite surprising really but I suppose eBay has not done these places many favours.
