Pillock Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Cannock really is where shit goes to die isn't it judging by that catalogue Still up for it one day though Oh, most of it died long before it got to Cannock.The entrance to the Shed of Unfortunate Purchasing is like the vehicular equivalent to the pearly gates. I'd hazard a guess that less than 30% of the crap that rolls through makes it through another MOT. If I wasn't inherently lazy I'd get a catalogue from last year and see, but you know.

Pillock Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Oh man, who am I kidding. I LOVE DATA. This is the first auction that the catalogue was scanned from, 23rd Jan 2016. That's not a year ago yet, so some cars will still have a valid MOT. I've just taken the first page, not cherrypicked them X935HKJ - Pug 106. Not taxed since auction, not MOTed sinceM662OOM - Astra - Not taxed since auction, still same MOTT967JVP - Felicia - Not taxed since auction, not MOTed sinceW693JBV - Pug 206 - No current tax or insuranceP389FMO - Toyota Starlet. Has been through another MOT! But untaxed for six weeks.BT02ZMZ - Puma. Scrapped, not presented for MOT this year after advisories for rust last yearFG53PHF - 206 - Taxed and tested! Only did 1000 miles in 4 months and needed a shitload of work on the brakes though.MM02RMO - Merc A170 - SORN, still got MOTW384EOG - Clio - SORN, still got MOTBT53JBV - Ka - No tax or MOTKJ03EXL - Corsa - Had another MOT with a bit of suspension work, but not taxed nowBU05ZDN - Ka - wazzed it through an MOT two days after the auction, has tax too! An unrusty Ka!AJ51UNX - A3 - Tax and still the same MOTST03BEY - Clio - MOT has run out, seems to be scrappedSX02CPY - V40 - Nope and nope, not been presented for MOTKV55DFK - Vectra - Same MOT, still taxedSP02WXZ - Citroen C3 - Not been MOTed since April, scrapped?WR53CNE - Polo - Been MOTed since but untaxedKS51FAU - 406 - Never been taxed since the auction, still got MOTLC54YOP - Sedona - SORN, still got MOTHK52DBX - Laguna - only taxed for another 4 months then the MOT ran out. So out of those 21 cars, if we assume taxed = still on the road, only four of them are still providing transportation duties - the rest are presumed BEANCANS or perhaps just sitting on someone's driveway gathering moss waiting for the scrap price to go up.That's a 19% survival rate! Edit> just realised that the three that didn't show up on totalcarcheck have been properly scrapped, so I've lobbed them in too and adjusted the already pitiful figures Cleon-Fonte, johngarty, Junkman and 5 others 8
andy18s Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 The Clio I bought the daughter last.uear us still doing sterling serviceIt's probably due another mini service but as she's a cash strapped Tesco employee it'll get put back a while SiC 1
Junkman Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 the rest are presumed BEANCANS or perhaps just sitting on a forecourt in Nigeria gathering moss waiting for a buyer. EFA
Pillock Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I think I've come up with a plan where female_pillock_offspring can get home from work whilst I'm torturing my arteries. Hooray! chaseracer and Junkman 2

Shame wish it could be found could do with two decent magenta red wings.
sofarsogood Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Is this happening? I may be able to make this. I have never been to a car auction before let alone one with a fantasy league of awful cars. These death burgers sound appealing.
Sloth in a bowl Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 ok, let's start the planned attendance list and see whom is available for this Saturday. Sloth in a Bowl
dollywobbler Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Well, I won't be buying a car, but I can probably make it in my BEDWAGON. I'm at Gaydon on Sunday, so if I do turn up, I reckon I'll be trying to sleep in it again... I'm a possible. I'll have a think. chaseracer 1
SiC Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Perhaps I should bring my 9-5 up for sale. It'll feel right at home! sofarsogood and chaseracer 2
