[beko1987]

Looks like £15 to get into the auctions. No idea what else costs, I'm not bringing much money though.

Ouch! For £15 that would be my spend money about gone as I'm typically skint at the moment having just taxed two vehicles. 

 

I am only about 10 miles away though at least.

[chaseracer]

Entrance is free; it only costs if you're buying/selling.  We sometimes go on somewhere afterwards, even if it's only back to the Truckers Rest for more bacon.  Everything is very relaxed.  Please do bring tat!

 

See you tomorrow.

[andy18s]

£15?...Maybe for a couple of Deathburgers washed down with a lovely cup of something brown and sticky........but there's no admission fee

(Unless Julian is charging for the Auction Game)

Unfortunately I'm arriving Sunday evening so will miss out on probably the largest gathering since this lot....

[beko1987]

Isn't there? Ace! I must have looked at the wrong bit on the website.

[chaseracer]

Fifteen sheets would get you three deathburgers, with mutant onions.  It's that kinda place... 

[davidfowler2000]

I have been busy.

 

Also my back hurts a bit.

 

In Other News...

The figures are in for the journey so far in the 27 year old, 2.3L petrol automatic Volvo estate...

Cairn Lodge Services to Cannock : 36.5mpg

Cannock to Cannock via Wiltshire : 37.1mpg

[Six-cylinder]

Work was interrupted this afternoon to get the 740 washed and fuelled ready for an early start.

That's great news! Thanks chaseracer and andy18s.

 

Will start filling the boot with tat now and try and sort through some more tonight.

[rml2345]

Due to a requirement for OMGMPG and the possibility of sticking caliper on the 850 I'm planning to use Minicab Simulator 2003 which has been washed and fuelled for the trip.

 

 

DESTINATION; CHOLESTEROL

[dollywobbler]

Ah nuts. I'm not in an antique hauler. I fail.

I'm always interested in older car mags. My wife, not so much!

[bub2006]

I want the breakfast menu. Or do I not need the breakfast menu?

Breakfast courtesy of the truckers rest, deathburgers for mid morning, lunch and dinner. I love them!

Your lucky Mrs 6C helps herself to them!

[beko1987]

I'm home from work. Waiting for someone to come and swap money for a hoover, then I am leaving!

There a few Max Power Mags that your other half may not approve of Bub ! Most of them are Practical Classics just trying to decide what to keep at the minute.

[bub2006]

Max power may suit me. Seeing as I'll be in a c2 with blacked out windows!

[bub2006]

She always telling me off for harbouring them!

Hope you got the base turned up for da tunes as well, maybe recreate some old cruise meets with some handbrake turns and a few burnouts? Not.

[bub2006]

I don't do cruises nor that malarkey, respect my car too much, Windows were darkened when I bought it. Only tunes I play are saxon, Gary Moore, maiden and stuff like that though!

[hairnet]

Omg furriner

Fair play I couldn't afford / wouldn't do that anyway and I want my Car to stay in one piece ! 

 

Tat now loaded,  just deciding if I can be bothered to go in the loft for more and risk annoying the family in the process. 

[Sloth in a bowl]

For those with money, I think it is something like

£15 to sell tat at Auction

6% of hammer price (minimum £30) to buy tat at auction and you need £100 cash deposit ready for straight after hammer fall

 

For those without money

£0.00 to turn up and laugh at shite

£2 will get you a programme from the office, look at the usual Cannock auction thread for samples that I have scanned and posted before.

Autoshite auction game is FREE, but bring your own pen/pencil as there are only so many that I can nick from Ikea and Screwfix

The sweet smell of HGF will be included at NO extra charge

 

At Truckers, Breakfasts are anything from £2 double egg on toast to £6ish all the trimmings with extra fat

Deathburger van does big burger for about £4 and up and a tea/coffee for about £1

 

 

Autoshite Midlands Massive, we are a cheap date

[dollywobbler]

Hairnet. Or two puds as he is now known.

[Pillock]

Two Puds Hairnet?

Is that like Two Jags Prescott?

 

Anyway, it looks like we have at least 600 Shiters going to the auction tomorrow, so if we don't get busted by the ol' codger with the hammer I'll be very disappointed. I'll be there for a small* breakfast about 10am I reckon, remembering to leave room for the midday deathburger.

 

Did I promise anyone I'd bring anything? Mags, bits of car, vacuum cleaners, that sort of thing. Can never remember.

[AnthonyG]

Looking forward to this, I have some old classic motorbike magazines to add to the tat swap. A couple of traditional britbike ones and then a bunch of classic japbike ones.

Hairnet has first call on these if he wants them, as he gave me a Sony HiFi at SF2016 which is still giving good service.

Also a few old Merc range brochures and a Vauxhall range catalogue from 1983 😀

[Lankytim]

Literally can't wait for this! I think I'm going to shit myself

[Junkman]

Cake!

You can bring me a vacuum cleaner if you like! If anyone wants a dc24 needing a new motor or a dc50 needing quite a lot then let me know, happen to have them in the boot!

 

Might have a peruse of ebay and scum tree later...
