There's no cut off, anyone is welcome to bring any aged car they wish but the preference is for old cars.

Someone turned up in a newish Toyota and nobody seemed to mind. As much as it's about old cars it's also about the people so as long as people who attend are interested in talking shit about cars for an hour or two then it's all good.

You would be welcome to borrow one of my old shitters for it.

3 hrs each way for me. If I did it in the 107 that would show dedication to the cause I suppose.

Damn, if it was on the 19th I'd come as I happen to be in Edinburgh on the 18th anyway. 20th I'll be at the NEC in Birmingham though.

My Subaru is for sale on car and classic, it's maybe a looking a little bit over priced because I wrote a brutally honest advert.

I had this absolute roaster contact me about it.

 

Why on earth would I scan and send someone a copy of the v5? 

[Supernaut]

Because they're a scammer / fucking roaster.

[captain_70s]

Only the smoothest of brains need apply.

[somewhatfoolish]

Other than maybe checking the V5 has the same address as the vendor(which normal people do when doing the deal) what even can he want off a V5? Scam scammety scam. And a massive dobber obvs.

I read that as him wanting to ring another MV284. 

Also, he might be a bit hard of thinking. 

Make one up out of brown paper and put the mental ward address on it, like you did with the spesh clart who messaged about the 305?

Someone I know suggested scanning him a picture of my arse.

Do it!

He doesn't deserve a full arse; just the one cheek.

[DodgyBastard]

took the Skoda out for a short drive. It's still shite.

[DodgyBastard]

 

Hopefully I'll have another 505 to play with in the next couple of weeks when this arrives from the other end of the country. The sale of the Mazda 323 has taken a bit of the sting out of having to pay for transporting a car 470 miles.

With any luck my transport booked via Shiply works this time and the transporter actually turns up.

[DodgyBastard]

Thinking about selling the picanto as not using it much. I managed to get a boot lock and parcel shelf from a scrapper.

 

At least now I can lock the boot.

[DodgyBastard]

That's me flogged two cars today. The Skoda Estelle and the Suzuki samurai.

Still planning on clearing out a few others including a 305 estate, Corolla, ldv pilot, aprilia motorcycle, picanto and possibly the Subaru pickup.

 

[TrabbieRonnie]

Fair old fleet reduction there!  Can't believe the pick up is still there, great (and useful) old thing.

GLWS's.

Went out for a Sunday drive around some hills.

I'm sure you had absolutely no interest in selling, and you just listed it on C&C for a laugh. Not to sell it, or anything.

Had someone else from car and classic enquire about it over the weekend.

He asked for some more photos and videos so I took some more and made a couple of videos.

 

 

They've booked a flight up from London for Saturday.

I'll need to give it a good check over this week.

[Crackers]

Bloody hell! Someone semi-literate and able to send a sensible, cohesive message longer than 5 words. Staggering.

505 now heading north from Chichester.

Transporter called to moan that it wasn't running and would be a £40 charge to use the winch.

[Arthur Foxhake]

What a tight fucker. He was equipped with a winch anyway.

What's the £40 for?  Battery wear and tear?

Chode.

I wonder where that's been hiding? I've been pretty good at spotting old crap on driveways round these parts, but that's evaded me.

It belonged to another forum member.

It also appears in this video.

505 arrived earlier than expected.

I was told it would be tonight or tomorrow morning but instead got a phonecall at 9am saying it would be dropped off at 11.

I had to fuck off from work for a couple of hours to go sort it out.
