AS in the community: Cannock Motor Auctions

[chaseracer]

Hope so.

 

I'll probably be in the Blingo - the Merc's making some horrible creaking noises, now I've booked it in for the MOT...

[Sloth in a bowl]

I've got an idea for a bit of side entertainment.

 

We each pick 5 cars from the catalog (£2 in the office on the day) with the aim to have a total value of our selected cars as close to £3000 as possible.

[dugong]

Might not make the auction but will do the scrapyard parp after. 

[dugong]

Out of this one again lads - there's extra time going at work so I've nabbed it. Tell me when the Whitchurch meet is going to happen.

[Lord Sterling]

You should have been here Dugong. You'd have had a chance to laugh at BADLY smoking Silver VW Golf.

[Sloth in a bowl]

Good to see, Lord Stirling, Chaseracer and FPB7 again.

 

We tried a side game where we picked 5 cars each with the aim to get as close to £3000 of hammer fall value for all 5 combined. It added some bonus jeering and groaning as the money racked up before hammer fall.

 

The final scores were:

V40ish £3505 - £505 out

Chaseracer £2235 - £765 out

Lord Stirling £5520 - £2520 out

Would this be Prees then?

just up the road from me so might pop up as well

[chaseracer]

As autumn approaches, the thoughts of the AS Midland Massiv turn inevitably with the seasons to smoke-filled sheds, rusty chod and bad burgers.

 

So... Cannock (Saturday 1100, Tuesday 1800) http://www.cannockmotorauctions.co.uk/ or Prees Heath, Whitchurch (Monday 1400, Thursday 1700)? http://www.astonbarclay.net/our-auctions/prees-heath

 

Bacon sarnie opportunities available close by, naurally.  Who's up - and when? 

[Inspector Morose]

Bacon sarnies. You've convinced me.

[Pillock]

Did somebody say bacon?

 

I've started slowly ticking off the list of ASers met with my "unexpected Pillock in Lord Sterling Area" yesterday so might as well keep it rolling....

[Lord Sterling]

I'll be there.

[Junkman]

I could do Saturday.

[chaseracer]

Saturday seems to be workable for most people - 4th October?

[Inspector Morose]

I'm out for that date I'm afraid. I'll be sunning it up in Chelmsford.

[chaseracer]

O lucky man!  How about the 11th or 18th?

[theorganist]

I would be interested, I have never been to an auction before so it would be an interesting experience. Also would be great to meet some other autoshiters! I can manage most Saturday!

[Inspector Morose]

Don't change it on my account. I'm sure another will pop up soon enough!

[Pete-M]

Nngh. I might be up for buying something.

[chaseracer]

How about the 11th then, gents?

[purplebargeken]

This time will someone PLEASE buy something!!!

[chaseracer]

Looks like I'm booked to be a lefty gobshite in THAT LONDON on the 18th, so I'm going to worship at the altar of Chod on the 11th.  

 

Heartstoppers at the Hollies on the A5 http://www.m6services.co.uk/ from 9am.  I'll be in the white 205.

[Pillock]

I should be able to, but in the boring since I can't justify a £126 tax disc for one outing in the MG.

[chaseracer]

OK, people - sign up in the usual CTRL-C/CTRL-V way, to ensure sufficient bacon supplies...
