Autoshite Headquarters found.

And look at that decor too... we wouldn't need to do a thing to it. Who's in?

OOOFT, want, now better do the Euromillions LOL

[fordperv]

That is lovely

[phil_lihp]

I can't find a thing wrong with that.  Wonderful!  

 

Usual excuses apply, if it were nearer, if I had the money etc.

Off to check 3 weeks of Lotto tickets shortly. Oh could you imagine the happiness!!!!!!!

[Essex V6]

Autoshite Towers - superb!

[Coprolalia]

Personally, I would prefer this:

Comes ready and complete with shite.

[mercrocker]

Either would do but that first one is perfect, just up the road from me too. All I would need to do there is hammer a few of my shite car badges onto those beams. Look honey, we've moved....

[purplebargeken]

Prefer the first one to be honest.

 

Anyway, I won nothing so I'm stuck in fucking Edmonton (aka Hell/Zombieland/Fuckwit World).

[DVee8]

Could we hang a engine hoist from that oak beam?

£750k was a fucking bargain. If 10 of us clubbed together and got liar loans we could of made it work.

Sadly my dream of living in a scrapyard is unlikely to happen now, especially with all the lovely EU pollution regs, I wouldn't be surprised if that is why the Blackborough one has been up for sale (doesn't look like it sold though and I'm not sure if it's the same owner I dealt with years ago, but the offers over £750k would depend on how he felt that day). I'm also sure there would be someone with a jobsworth attitude to cleaning up the land, from the decades of cars that have rotted into the ground. Much as I would love the house, I expect getting even part of it reasonably habitable would cost a fortune and god help you if it's listed.

 

And because of that, I'm out. - The old bus garage by me is still for sale though.

it is too far south for teh volvos!

N9 or N18? I worked there for a few years! N9 was though to be a bit better... Am I right?

Disappointed to discover that isn't a weighbridge outside.

Disappointed to discover that isn't a weighbridge outside.

Outside the first or the second? The first one looks like it has room outside and with the second I'd be surprised if there wasn't one, but if not there is plenty of room, you could even have one under cover in one of the loggias (I'm sure English Heritage would be up for that).

 

Edited to add: It is listed http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-95748-blackborough-house-kentisbeare-devon#.VaP4tvldXgY

 

It looks like only the exterior is listed I wonder if it included the workshops and sheds?

N9 but N18 no better, just a different kind of gang tosser waiting to cause misery.

Just did a bit of google regarding Blackborough to see if it is still running and/or whether it did change hands; on one website about restoring country houses found this post, slagging off the estate agent selling the place, but look who they recommend for pictures.

Autoshite - estate agency division

Quite agree with Jim Webster about the agent, their single long shot is probably so potential purchasers won’t notice the scrap cars and fridges etc. that have litter the grounds, as it has operated as a scrapyard for decades. Better pictures than the agent’s at http://www.autoshite.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?t=2710

'Kinell, we are famous lads! LOL, that first gaff looks Totes Amazeballs, and is clearly in need of some Autoshite signage

[worldofceri]

The link to the topic on AS doesn't work for me.  Possibly too old?

 

Edit:  Hang on, this is a different one:

Down the road from where I used to live!

What is it about estate agents and HDR photography?

 

Yes, if done well an HDR image can be brilliantly atmospheric and offer an insight into the scene that you've captured that regular single-exposure photography can't equal.

 

But what in the name of fuckery is the point of using it when you're selling a house? Surely, when demonstrating a property to potential clients the best approach would be to show the customer What The House Actually Looks Like.

 

Instead, my local Haart agency employ the services of some whizzbang tographer who insists on using HDR at EVERY opportunity. Everything ends up looking like some fucking Thomas Kincade "painter of light" travesty.

 

 

Maltings development becomes haunted fairytale castle

 

 

Ex-council semi becomes scary tumbledown dwelling for trolls.

 

 

Humdrum bungalow prepares to take a battering from clouds which have issued from the gates of hell.

 

Back garden scares the living shit out of me.

 

 

Why do they do it?

Bit like those Macdonald pictures of huge bulging burgers with fresh crisp lettuce, and you get a steaming Turd with a weed in it

good pictures make you want to have it!

Always fancied a old Fire station loads of garage with a house built round it

One in Harrogate for sale

 

[davidfowler2000]

Scotoshite and the Scotoshite Volvo Massiv (SVM) already has an HQ. It's Cumbernauld. The international HQ for SVM Industries is located on the bridge-to-no-cunting-place portion of Cumbernauld Town Centre...

 

...and SVM Industries (English Division) is located in a broom cupboard in the shitiest place to end all shitey places, Preston Bus Station...

Remember the TV series UFO?

 

SHADO headquarters was located beneath a film studio.

 

Autoshite headquarters should be beneath a branch of carcraft.

[Jon]

Nobody seems to have noticed the D-series Ford in the driveway of the first house. Hope it's part of the chattels.

Yes, and all the UFO futuretastical space age cars of (wow) "1980 in the future" will now qualify as shite.  In fact, they were shite even then.

 

Here is Benedict Cumberbatch's mum AKA Wanda Ventham AKA Colonel Lake of SHADO.  Note manky bit of old pole holding up door.

 

[Guest Breadvan72]

Here she is again, minus car, because ... well, because judge for yourself because -
