AS in the community: Cannock Motor Auctions

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I still don't know and I spent ages looking at one. 

 

They have a minor CLASS connection though, they were also available as a Roewe. 

[Pillock]

 

Ssangyong production line, yesterday.

[chaseracer]

What the actual fuck is a Songyoung Kyrie eleison ???

 

Do you remember the stickers Fiat put on the Multipla at launch: "Wait till you see the front"?  Sshitschlong recycled the idea, as well as many discordant styling cues from a variety of unusual sources.  The Kyron is not only a MINGAAAAAH, it has a bloody stupid randomly-generated name.

 

In other news, I fail - again - to stay away from unexpectedly expensive Mercs...

 

[Lord Sterling]

Great day today, and I actually won a game!

 

I am also debating whether to adopt a new name: Baron Von Sterling, Lord Haw_Haw, Herr Sterling etc... seeing as I now drive a Panzer E280.

 

Some pics:

 

We all had "heart attack special" burgers today.

 

Tidy ZT that sold for £250

 

 

Giffer 75 that eventually sold for £750

 

 

Laughable boy-racer special Focus, it never went through the auction room.

 

 

Can't wait for the next meet!

[dugong]

Christ. I'm glad I slept through my alarm this morning - that ZT would have come home with me. 

[CortinaDave]

ZT bargain of the century bearing in mind I just got £350 no problem for a totally borked non runner with no mot.

 

This one tested til may too say DVLA!

[chaseracer]

 

NOMZ.  Worth going just for these.  And watching FPB7 tying his hands into his pockets due to having dangerously useful 'available funds'.*

 

 

 

 

 

* Not if Andrea has anything to do with it...

[Lord Sterling]

I did see FPB7 looking at some cars a little more closely than usual and seemingly having a debate in his mind on whether or not it is a good idea to buy something...

[Inspector Morose]

It wasn't my mind I was talking to. It's the virtual Andria implanted into my head on marriage.

 

The answer is always, no.

[Lankytim]

I may have to go to the next one, seeing as it's just down the road.

[chaseracer]

RITE THEN, SHYTAZ...

 

Saturday 6th December: who's up?

[Inspector Morose]

Well, it'd be rude not to.

[Sloth in a bowl]

Parents in town, no can do this time.

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

I'll be there if I can get the day off work, what's the itinerary?.

[chaseracer]

Parents in town, no can do this time.

 

Bring 'em along! 

[chaseracer]

I'll be there if I can get the day off work, what's the itinerary?.

 

Such as it is...

 

0900-1030: meet at Greasy Lil's on the A5.  Eat heartstoppers of varying descriptions.  Mutual chod admiration* in car park.

1030-1300ish: mosey in loose convoy to auction.  Laugh at desperate rammel.  Enjoy auctioneer's extensive* knowledge of late C20/early C21 shite.  Inhale diesel particulates.  Eat BFO deathburgers.  Go home happy, so far in same car...

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

Thanks for that, I'll know next tuesday if I can get the day  off

[Junkman]

Should I not be busy buying a car, I'll be there.

[Sloth in a bowl]

Should I be busy buying a car, I'll be there to buy a bargain.

Fixed it for you

[Pillock]

I'll be there, most likely along with Small_Pillock_Replica as he's not ruddy shut up about the last visit yet

Although this time I get to choose whether it's roof up or down. And the rules are, down.

[chaseracer]

XLNT!!  Small_Pillock_Replica is a top chap! 

[Lord Sterling]

I shall also turn up in GANGSTA_Panzer tank trying not to sell drugs/pumpin' out gangsta rap muzik. Double deathburgers are a MUST

[AnthonyG]

Ooohh tempting. Having attended the Brightwells sale today, it would be appropriate to experience the other end of the market.

The Allegro at £350 was value though, was very straight. The minty fresh early Austin 1100 was the car of the day for me, and well worth the £3100, which is strong money for an 'ordinary' ADO16.

There was a lovely '72 Rover 3500S which was value at £3500, as well, only needed a new vinyl roof to make a condition 1 car.

Noice.  Who fancies a day off work in Leominster on March 4th?  #planning_ahead

[Sloth in a bowl]

If anybody wants an rtf of the Autoshite Auction Game forms for printing and distribution on Saturday then PM me.

 

Chaseracer now has the files to do the forms.

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

I'll be there, e.t.a. 0930 in my Swede Tank.

[Junkman]

In a whiff of optimism unfit for someone with my level of experience, I daresay Daihatsu appearance can be reckoned with.

[Inspector Morose]

I might pop along.

[chaseracer]

I have the auction fun sheets from Julian.  Modifications to gameplay are not unlikely... 

[Lord Sterling]

Right, Merc is up on the ramps having new spheres fitted. I'm sitting here like an expectant father waiting for the results on whether they'll actually finish before closing time, so at the moment there is a question mark over whether I'll be joining the CANNOK MASSIV to point/laugh and try not buy any auction cack, even by mistake...
