'just bloody scrap it' - the eBay 'fuck me, what were they thinking' thread

[sierraman]

I’m more interested in the old scrapyard it seems to be in. Does the Bearded Trespasser know about this?

Fair play, that's alright then 

[timolloyd]

If only they’d made the whole bus out of whatever that sticker is made of. Seems to have survived really well.

[jon.k]

And it has only had one owner from new, so that proves it's been looked after.

I think he has confused the term barn find, in this case the poor thing probably was the barn

Same old story though, it’s got a VIN and V5. Watch as someone’s pride and joy vanishes off their drive and becomes this weeks ringer......

I think it's the 1.3 so yes unless it has been robbed from being in an old scrap yard for years, I called them and the guy said it's £500 or we will just scrap it because it's worth that in scrap

Just bloody scrap it...? Looks like this one was scrapped! Who says you can’t get a Capri for £500 these days.

Door handles look alright

[Datsuncog]

I for one am greatly reassured by the comprehensive photographs of the Capri's underside.

Deffo a worthwhile enterprise, hoisting it up by its roof to snap those.

[taranaki]

Needs some work for MOT.

Not a car but definitely needs scrapping, "possibly" part of an old number plate fished from a canal, £10 to you sir.

'Possibly part of a old style number plate could be a 6or 9 you decide found whilst searching local river Its aluminium as you can see from photos it’s has been painted black/white to freshen it up . Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.'

[Sausage5000]

That smart car is made by a woman who builds stuff for the film industry, I looked at her Facebook thingy and she makes all kinds of mad stuff.

[antony denman]

This is the sort of crap that happens when you cannot go on a "Whacky Charidee Rally" across Europe with full breakdown cover.

No Benidorm or bust ?
No Prague-n-Hookers?
No Stoned-N-Fisted in Amsterdam?

So it will have to be Smart-N-Swindon with a lot of Grinding instead.

65% of a turd finished in mixed rattle can, it wont fetch much on the bridge.

When I’m Minister for transport, it will be law that any “wacky” shit-heap with “zombie apocalypse” stickers on will be impounded and the driver sent to primary school to learn how to be a grown up.
