Now I love pick-ups but to quote the guy in The Shawshank Redemption: 'Sweet Jesus'

Sometimes I despair of humanity. it wouldn't be quite so bad in my opinion if they didn't make the plastic bumpers rusty too.

This was at a local evening meet earlier this week... Even the aerial has been 'Rusted' , it is a crock of shit, Whoever thinks this looks cool ( along with all this 'Scene' crap involving VWs and others ) truly need their head examining.

Oh and 6k.... Yeah right, What fucking planet on these people on/from.

Sorry, not a car (although it might have been prior to 1996), but I've been enjoying watching this one:
 
$_12.JPG
 

REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE

 
£3,299.99

(reduced after twice listing it for £3,500)

 

 

 

I would not recommend drinking it as the can is an older steel can and may have corroded inside.

 

That's one reason not to drink it, sure.

 That makes that beige fester sound like a bargain

This makes me wild. This same Orion was seen advertised not 2 months ago for £4500 which in itself is ridick pricewise.

 

But £8250 for an Orion. An Orion on Momo arrows. How did they spend £30,000 on an Orion.

First to see will buy?    No they won't. Fool.

Very good. But seriously, coming from an Orion ENFEWZIAST I can't figure out where this 30G went - or where the value from 8k is. Sigh.

 

I've clocked om to a similar carry on a while back. Due to some unhealthy eBay scouring tendencies I (like most on here) spot most 'on the radar' stuff.

 

ie: nice low mileage/giffer owned 80's / 90's type cars for sale privately which often will sell for a few quid only to appear a few weeks later for sale by a 'classic car specialist' for crazy money. This then unnecessarily makes general public (usually Mongbay sellers) think those types of cars are worth mega bucks when they're not .

 

Still doesn't explain the mystery of the £8000 Orion though!

How could this have won a concourse at FordFair when its completely un-original?  I think he's a fibber....

Goodness me, is it April 1st already? I must have overslept.

 

 

£1.7K? Really, seriously? £250 at best and that's being generous.

As a square-eyed 9 or 10 year old glued to the TV I loved the adverts for the Vauxhall 'Club' limited editions on the transporter while Del Shannon's 'Runaway' played in the background. Little did I realise that these models will be so collectable in the 21st century.

 

Seller wants £4,750  :shock:  for this...

Does look very nice, however.

Did these things quadruple in value while I wasn't paying attention?

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-Porsche-928-GTS-/191268172622?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c8878b34e

 

It's not even a manual, and there's no clear shot of the whole car amongst all the close ups. Bint's wearing too much too....

If I had the cash and it was in tip top condition I would happily hand over 24 Large ones for that 928!  :wub:

Check this bad boy out. 

 

Can't get the MSA to allow you to ride an actual pig on track? then try this - as close* as you can get to doing it for real

This guy reckons he's spunked £20,000 - and this is what he has to show for it? So you want a track day car, you buy an Impreza Turbo with 60k on the clock. you have a budget of £20k. You have a 'retired race car builder' on hand to give expertise, advice, possibly even hands-on work THINK OF THE FUCKING POSSIBILITIES. 

 

And with all that potential, you create this:

its time to take a long hard look at yourself. then reach for the gun and do the honourable thing...

Bugger me backwards - I have an unopened jar of Dunsters Marmalade in the cupboard (not made any more) I wonder how much that will be worth?

 

Feck all I suspect.
