Congratulations! You won this item.

[crapcarcollector]

Collection next Saturday that will involve the trailer and 250 miles.

 

Yes! I've bought my 2nd broken Alfa Romeo GTV this month.

 

I think I need to lie down.

 

If I win the rover raffle tonight I may be in trouble.

It's not near Aberdeen is it ?

[crapcarcollector]

No, is there one near Aberdeen I should know about?

That eBay phrase induces a strange mixture of excitement and fear. 

[crapcarcollector]

Just been speaking to the seller on the blower, I think he called me to get a handle on if I was a. eBay Mong or not, I got a good feeling about the car (even though the engine is knackered) and hopefully he doesn't think I'm a Mong

[crapcarcollector]

Setting sail to collect this GTV tomorrow, 500 mile round trip, it's a non runner so the trailer is prepped, missus on breakfast duty and we shall set sail in the morning!

[Sealtainn]

Are we getting live updates? Hope so as that will help pass the day on the run up to the Rover roffle in the evening

I have had the dreaded ''Congratulations you have won this'' from Ebay and found myself trying to recollect bidding on it from  some drunken fugue a few nights ago.

Cossie ran Cortina, and BMW 7 series being just two of em

If you turn up, when you say you'll turn up, and don't try and haggle on the price, and shake his hand twice, once to say hello, and once to say thank you and goodbye, I feel sure that he'll not think that.

[crapcarcollector]

Don't think there is any danger of not doing that, my mum brought me up properly.

[crapcarcollector]

Righto, 

 

On the last occasion I tried to do a live collection thread, I delegated duties to Mrs CrapCarCollector as I was driving. It went well*.  Due to the fact I learn from my mistakes and her unhappiness is my concern, we are going to try to do this in exactly the same way as perviously, only instead of an 80 mile round trip, this one is 500. 

 

Should you receive a further update it will be from Mrs CCC. 

 

*She didn't do live updates, shouted when I refused to go the way she was directing, turning a 2hr journey into 5. Pretty sure she didn't speak to me for a couple of days.....

Are you sure that's food? What's that scouring pad looking thing next to the bread roll, it looks like a deep fried weetabix?

 

Everyone knows the best breakfast is a Bloody Mary, a large espresso, several cigarettes and a coughing fit.

Stuck in fucking traffic!! Should have gone on the M6 Toll like I said!!!

Whats your preferred trailer dragger???

[Pillock]

Let's guess from the shape of the door mirror and door handle, and the reflection of the dashboard on the windscreen.

 

P38 Range Rover? 

Edit: No, the back window looks slopey. Pull-out door handles rather than lift up. Ford?

 

I'm also looking forward to the arguments developing in a public forum about which way to go. Crack on! Shouldn't you have come off at the last junction or something?

[crapcarcollector]

 

Cow and wind turbines!

McDonalds breakfasts- not particularly appetising.

 

Come to think of it, I would rather eat something from the "stuff you used to eat as a kid" thread even if it was best before September 1976.

[crapcarcollector]

Stopped at Newport Pagnall for some lunch. No more Maccy D's today. I see that Mrs CCC has at least made an effort in posting this time although I'm not sure the cows qualify.

 

Trailer dragger in my CRV daily which should hit 180,000 this journey, let's see if Mrs CCC keeps up with that.

McDonalds Brekkies rank as #2 in the list of "Best things to eat if you can get out of bed before 11.30am"

Beaten only by a Crown Carveries all-you-can-eat breakfast inc. fried bread and both scrambled and fried eggs, £5.50 with unlimited coffee

Harry Honda (towing vehicle) just turned 180,000
