You could do a reverse raffle.

 

Sell tickets in advance of £8 each. With resulting cash go to Cannock and buy a fine piece of motoring loveliness.

 

Then once the balls have dropped the winner can be revealed followed by the car!

 

Basically bullseye for AS. Here's what you did win!

He revved it, there was a crackle. Driver jumped out of the seat like he'd been shot at.

The 05 plated Ka then went for £80.

 

 

Just uploading some pictures to Flicker, will link up later.

[Sloth in a bowl]

Right lets have some pictures. First up, happy bloody Christmas to you all.

 

 

 

 

Now about that Ka that likes to electrocute it's driver.

 

The last owner may have some explaining to do.

 

 

 

Next up we have a couple of contenders in the poor quality front end repair competition

 

In the grey corner is a Fiat Seicento, 'indicator light glass not included'

 

In the greyred corner is the Vauxhall with the off colour front

 

[Sloth in a bowl]

Steamy rover 75 (1.8 kettle)

 

 

£300 for a 7 seat Volvo (2.5 n/a petrol)

 

 

How barried is your Golf?

 

 

No bidders on the LPG Chrysler with the current owner wanting £1000, but the tidy LS400 dropped the hammer on £800

 

 

If I don't spot a few girly stickers, it's not a real C3

[Pillock]

So for less than £600 I could have two burgundy Volvo Estates with 10 cylinders and five litres between them?

 

These are wondrous times.

[Sloth in a bowl]

We now get to wheel trim of the day:

 

LDV van trims including fake bolt heads

 

against this attempt to make a Bora look street cred ready

 

Not at the auction, but in the carpark outside. This turned up as we planned to leave.

 

And can you guess Bub's new toy just from the installed accessory?

 

Yep, it's a Pickarseo.

coming through a cinema wall, somewhere near you, soon.

[bub2006]

Great day had. Thanks and a merry Christmas to all

[Pillock]

Any news stories about a wheel falling off a Zafira is nothing to do with us, right?

[Tamworthbay]

These are always on when I am busy, fingers crossed on the next one.

[Pillock]

How many Shiters does it take to change a wheel?

Me, Mo, my utterly random toolkit and a load of spectators.

 

[bub2006]

What did I miss?

[gadgetgricey]

What did I miss?

 

The A/S version of a dogging session by the look of 

 

 

[Inspector Morose]

God, I look fat.

[Lord Sterling]

Good day today because:

 

Met up with fellow shiters,

Drove different cars

Eyed up a nice Greek girl at Truck stop cafe,

Drove some different cars and now I really want the Sterling to fuck off.

 

Now I'm farting like a good 'un because: beans and toast, but a great day was had.

This just looks like some weird album cover; Autoshite -All V***halls are shit

[dcd1979]

Had a great day and turns out I'm already a member on here

[Pillock]

I had a great day because I drove a Sterling, I had a massive breakfast, and I flashed my pants at everyone.

 

I feel I should explain the photo. As we were readying ourselves to leave, a chap came over and asked us for help opening his Zafira boot which appeared to be jammed. It turned out not to be jammed, just locked and on the catch but then we realised he was attempting to change a wheel using a selection of shit tools, like a spider brace with a huge crack across it and a scissor jack but no windy handle.

 

Cue Autoshite Response Team and we had him his spare on before he knew it.

[MarvinsMom]

an £800 lexus, WCPGW!!!

 

what are the extra fees like there, as that is the sort of car SWMBO would like.

[Lord Sterling]

ATTACK WITH THA MACK....

 

Yeah, photos....

 

Some interesting cars came through which were helpfully pictured. Hilariously the auctioneer kept on loosing his oppo, Manu. At least 10 minutes was spent by the auctioneer shouting MAAAAANUUUUU through his microphone with poor Manu who was clearly bored kept on disappearing into the pre-auction carpark.

 

 

Hilariously smokey and wrecked Astra:

 

Clean 25:

 

60-plate Astra...

 

...with comedy front-end "repairs"

 

This is an E39 BMW 530d Touring:

 

Check out the ROT   

 

£70 Smokey 75:

 

Which, personally I think was straight and must have been looked after prior to mechanical failure. On tickover it honestly sounded like a 1.0 Mk4 Fiesta and in the auction room it was clear to see the white smoke drifting from out of the front grille.

 

Straight Volvos:

 

 

So, what have we learned from this? Don't buy ANY Astra at Cannock Auctions. Check that your BMW hasn't rotted to the ground, make sure your KA won't shock you and stay away from Rover 75s unless you are Mr_B0ll0x or you know what you are doing.

[Tamworthbay]

How much did the e39 make?
