Live collectioneering. Trailer mayhem. Probably.

[crapcarcollector]

Yes I am a fool and and what goes around comes around. Or so they say, whoever they are anyway. 

 

Back to the story at hand. 

 

Yesterday my mate phones me up at work and says "I've sent you an email, you need to look at it now", knowing that he is a serial shite collector at the top of the spectrum (P38 anyone?) I knew instantly that this would involve dilapidated rubbish, fucking about and general buggery. I was in. 

 

Anyway, turns out said mate is working away from home at the minute and the collection of said chod, which he had agreed to purchase, blind, before I accepted the challenge would be a solo affair with Mrs Crapcarcollector in tow. Who better to provide live updates than her? 

 

(Disclaimer, if this thread goes quiet, i've been murdered, probably left to rot next to the M6 and you lot will hear no more till the news at ten a week next Tuesday)

 

So, hopefully it will be live updates, a dead easy can you guess what it is yet, and an heroic tail of dragging something dead across counties on a car trailer I've not checked in two years. 

 

Easy. 

 

Catch you later.

I'm going to guess Land Rover.

[vulgalour]

Does painting a trailer red make it go faster?

 

I'm going to guess P38, because you mentioned the guy already owns one.

Oh dear.

*that car transporter looks up to the task*.... car transporters are only really glorified skateboards for dead/sick or uninsured cars, pulled home by their new stablemate/'car bezzie', when you think about it briefly, so I wouldn't worry too much or worry about any science or physis etc...

Can you te what it is yet?

RX8 ?

He's bought the Millenium Falcon, you'll never get that on a trailer.

blurred!

[the judge]

A vauxhall of some kind?

[Pillock]

That sort of looks like a 90 degree-out photo of a cam cover with a long coil pack removed.

[mouseflakes]

Alfa mo' - it looks like it has two of something where most engines normally have one?

[fairkens]

Moor upd8s nided!

[Ghosty]

There are eight holes...

[mouseflakes]

Should we organise a search party? An Alfa 75 Twin Spark* on a red trailer shouldn't be hard to spot.

 

 

*purely my guess - based on the blurred photo

[crapcarcollector]

Sorry for the update blackout, Mrs crapcarcollector nearly did in fact murder me.

For those of you who guessed Alfa Romeo, well done. A pint for you.

 

It is in fact this shitheap, complete with non running engine (stripped spark plug thread) maybe.

£250 of the queens finest pounds. He was robbed.

05 reg! Blimey in my head that's brand new! Looks new too. Good luck with the resuscitation and thanks for an entertaining thread. (Hope Mrs CCC has calmed down  )
