Sold Peugeot 305 - OFF TAE SCOTLAN.

[Jim Bell]

Even when you sit still, you're still moving. The world spins and things move whether you want them to or not. Nothing stays still. Nothing stays the same. Everything moves.
I was sitting in front of my laptop, moving at 600mph, clinging to a single point on spinning rock in cold space, looking at ebay.














"Dont click buy."

I thought.

"You've just bought a car that you really like. Don't click buy."


You're right, voice in my head.


"Its also 390 miles away. Dont be a dick."


You're absolutely right, voice in my head. I mean, I don't have the money anyway.
The BIN price is well out of budget @£750. I deffinately wont click buy.

"Good. Well done. You might be finally growing up."


I COULD make an offer though I suppose. It'll more than likely be refused anyway. So theres no harm making a low offer.








There. I feel better for having a bid. Now I can get on with my life.


30 seconds later.


















I'm sorry, voice in my head. It has happened again.


"I'm not speaking to you Barry. You're a mongtard."




The deal had been done. I had no money and no time. The destination car was a 776 mile round trip away.

Only Internet People can help me now.

Mentioned wanting the 305 on Faecboop. Committed Autoshitist immediately offered money for the 309. Says he is holding cash and can literally leave Scotland immediately to collect.

Hardest decision I've had to make for a while, but 305 beats 309 on my wankometer at the moment, so I bit the bullet and shook his proverbial hand.


3 hours later.





Bye bye for now 309.


Before you look at the next pic, I would like to point out that:

1) Neither of us are homosexual people.
2) Woolarding is not as easy as it looks.
3) Read number 1 again, to reinforce the truth.









Hands were shaken, chat was chatted, and off to Scotland everyone went.


Tata, 309. Hope FOAD enjoys you.








I called the 305 seller, and arranged collection for tomorow. He seems nice. Trading up to a 405 and said he would was some of the bird shit off and clear it out if he had time for tomorrow. He also offered to pick me up from Newton Abbot train station. I like nice people.




Well, silent voice in my head. I suppose we are halfway there now.


"Shut up you dick. I'm still not talking to you. "



And that's when I realised that I had a mental illness.

I cant keep still. I cant stop the world turning. I cant keep a car long because the most exiting car is always the next one. The adventure is always in the future, its never in the present or the past, that would just be Events and History.

Embrace the adventure, pursue the future and embrace the 600mph that we are all moving at (approximately).



I will deal with you, consequences.
Starting very early tomorrow morning.












Stay tuned.


We are going live tomorrow.

You are the illegitimate lovechild of the immaculate conception between me and Dollywobbler.

[Pillock]

That's not a bad effort, I suppose.

[fairkens]

Opened this thread expecting a honda, happy to be disappointed! Glwtc

[skattrd]

I think most of us have done similar ... I'll make an offer, he won't accept it, or I'll put in a low bid, someone will outbid me ....

 

Devon should be quite nice this time of year, fingers crossed for your trip.

[billyboy406v6]

Making a low offer expecting it to be beaten explains why I now drive a Forester !! Lol, So relieved  I share this problem with other shiters.

[drum]

Excellent piece of autoshite-ism, equalled only by the quality of the reportage.

 

Mr Shitpeas, you are an example to us all.

[Bucketeer]

Yay! Key handover pic resumption.

[xtriple]

It's glorious down here in Devon at the mo'. Enjoy the trip.

[dollywobbler]

Fantastic, but I know exactly what you mean. Compulsive Heap Purchase Disorder is a very real thing. I'm recovering very well after a serious case of it last summer.

 

I'll be driving to Swindon and back tomorrow. As the M4 crosses the M5, I will be hoping for a glimpse of WIN heading north.

[forddeliveryboy]

Try not to sell/swap at the M-way services. I'm going to make some low offers right away.

[purplebargeken]

You look almost like twins.

[purplebargeken]

I had a girlfriend in Halewood who's mum had one of those, same colour too. Girl had huge norks.

[Jim Bell]

You look almost like twins.

 

I'm not sure which one of us you're trying to insult there, but I wont stand for it.

[Bren]

Newton Abbott is a very nice part of the world.

 

With reference to the pic from no country for old men, are you hoping to see the pug vendor off with a bolt gun?

[purplebargeken]

Sit down and be insulted then, pffft. 

[purplebargeken]

So that's where Swansea is then, that would explain quite a lot. Looks like it is close to the sea and there is obviously too much temptation to dump forms and letters into the wet stuff instead of dealing with it properly.

[purplebargeken]

You can stop holding hands now. 

 

GLWTP and all that. Looks like a tidy car you have there mr merdepois. Even if it isn't a Prelude. 

[mattywatsit]

Hahaha oh dear Ben! Nice one though... you are most certainly worse than me  

 

I have equally fallen for that old eBay trick of thinking 'nah - too cheeky, never going to happen...' ...... 'sh-------t it just did....

 

Have a good trip! I expect many photographs of updates, countryside, more countryside, a bored - tired - asleep Shitpeas....

 

I will stay tuned... 

[Junkman]

OMGNOTOVLOV goes to Scotland shocker!

[Jim Bell]

I'm sure this Deja vous has happened to me before.

 

Spot.

 

 

 

Small electric train arrives promptly. Good start to the day.

 

 

 

We are out of the traps and on our way. Southbound and down, about 40 wheels a currently rollin.

[Twiggy]

Good luck !  If the weather is as good up there as it is down here in Southampton, you`ll have a grand trip.

[Jim Bell]

The view from the glorious Byker viaduct.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

The majesty of Newcastle central station.

 

 

 

 

Made it with almost 5 mins to spare. Pro.

 

 

 

 

Big train.

 

Old school 125?

 

 

 

 

 

Big river looking north.

 

 

 

 

We are now traveling at high velocity.

[stillOrange]

I just wish I had friends on Facebook that sell Peugeots 309 ...

 

Good luck with the whole trip!

[Jim Bell]

If we look to our left we will see The international cathedral of Durham. Built in 1956 by St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, it has the largest clock tower of the age and houses the worlds third electric light bulb.

The architecture is best described as not-Georgian, built in a style with no nods to the traditial Georgian style and completely without the associated flourishes, which were completely disregarded during its construction period. It's the only cathedral visible from space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

There's no interesting banter on the train so gonna have a read of some words.

 

 

Top man. Top bloke.

[Coprolalia]

Wahey, Devon! Have a half of scrumpy while you're here!

[Jim Bell]

I'll probably make it a pint.

 

ACHEIVEMENT UNLOCKED!

 

York achieved.

 

[carlo]

Weather's fair nice down 'ere innit.
