RedSparrow Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 From the photos it looks like he has a big house and garden and it rather amateurishly dabbling in the used car world. The doctor he ain't.Ital is nice but it's 600 quids worth tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiteRider Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 What's really pathetic is most of his stock seems to have been bought on ebay, so he buys a car.......triples the price.....and then expects people to pay £3000 this week for a car they wouldn't pay £1000 for last week........cock juggling thunder cunt.

autofive Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 did a little digging on purplehelmet, it seems he's moved from The Stables,Carver Hey Farm, Moss Lane, Little Hoole, Preston, PR4 4SX and has very deep pockets see also:http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/user/ccts2933/38/http://acorntradingnorthwest.co.uk/finance.asp24 hour National Recovery Service Call Geoff - 07554455450 all of the above suggests he's not 'dabbling' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Ross Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 That forum really is such a load of toss, isn't it.Isn't this a bit like going into Asda, and telling them how unhappy you are that Tescos have horsemeat in thier burgers? I couldn't give a toss what happens on there. I don't subscribe to it. If I wanted to give a toss, I would go become a registered user. But I don't, so I haven't. I might stick my head round the door occasionally when someone plops a link on here, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 You can say what you like about R-R, the for sale board is excellent. You get all sorts of good stuff coming up on there, and they manage it so that thick people who omit the most basic info like a price and location, get their ad booted till they sort it out. So theres no half-arsed ads on there ("Just testing the water.....") at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Creep Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Although it's surprising how many people fail to grasp the simple rules of advertising even though there is a whopping great sticky at the top. I do find it good for buying (although have had little luck selling) but I can never find anything to contribute to the General board, since there are very few actual discussions and more endless picture threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I find that RR can have fantastic content but it does tend to get lost in the meh. Fortunately all those good bits tend to be linked to from here sooner or later so we're the winners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willswitchengage Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If you really do want mind-numbing levels of utter stupidity then I advise you visit the balanced and informed debates on Pistonheads instead. Their Scottish independence thread is cutting running at 434 pages and counting, for instance, and that they have a sub-forum called "News, Politics & Economics" fundamentally, well, it's not even worth investigating what content ends up there...

Cavcraft Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Purple Headed Womb Broom is quite clearly never likely to be getting much richer, much quicker with his prices, but I'm not sure if we're worrying too much about him here. If he's trying to knock out stuff for 5 times it value, he'll have to find out the hard way at some point. I bet the people he bought the cars off aren't complaining, so I'm not sure he actually deserves being called a c*nt or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 From the photos it looks like he has a big house and garden and it rather amateurishly dabbling in the used car world.The Farm house itself hasn't changed ownership since 2001, so likelyhood is that it is rented. Likewise, the plot, as the outbuilding are listed as other firms' premises. Still, 'Geoff' is living my dream, so I'll sit back and observe with my green-eyed monster. Coming to a bankruptcy hearing near you. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 At first glance, this doesn't look too bad for £325. Yes it's rotten as a pear, but old commercials do make good money these days. Then you read the listing and discover that the starting bid isn't for the whole truck (or what's left of it), but just the cattle pen on the back - i.e. a few bits of old plywood nailed together and with the paint flaking off. I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that the number of people in the UK who own a J4 pickup and are after a scruffy cattle pen to put on the back is somewhere between zero and none, and the number willing to pay £325 for the privilege is even lower.

Mr Lobster Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Re this - Overpriced or not and regardless of what anyone on RR thinks, it sold within three days apparently. Whilst its more than I would pay there is a market for very, very good condition cars of this type even when they are seemingly very expensive. But I suppose if you want a good one and have the money then its worth it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There's also the fact that dealers have to find these cars, often travelling huge miles just to find that 'mint' is apparently a new word meaning 'rusty as fook.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
