Roffle January Cannock Calamity Roffle - BIG* SHITE REVEAL 2DAY!!

[Supernaut]

I had a moment of inspiration earlier, and sent my guess to 320T, I got the model right, I think, but the body style wrong!

 

Now I know what it is, it's even more hilarious!

[Split_Pin]

[Talbot]

Even I, with my abysmal knowledge of anything post 2000ish am fairly sure I've got this right now.

 

When is the reveal?!!??!

[cort16]

Oh no

[Datsuncog]

Yes.

 

I have it now.

 

 

 

***trying and failing to cover snorts of laughter and guffaws in an open-plan office.***

 

 

Well played, lads. Well played.

[wuvvum]

LOL, I know what it is now.  Bad luck Billy.

[dome]

Oh dear God think I know what this is. The WRC reference was confusing me a bit. I'll look forward to the Barbara Cartland shot...

[Split_Pin]

It is a strange choice for a WRC car indeed - in fact probably the last one you would expect. The only reason it clicked for me was that 1/18 versions regularly come up for sale on Facebook model car pages.

[Jazoli]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

Didn't realise they could be had so cheap

[Datsuncog]

^^^ If you've seen the video circulating of a baffled mechanic peeling off large sections of corroded metal from the underside of one of these using only his bare hands... then you'll understand why they can be had so cheap.

 

 

EDIT: As Billy's now confirmed via livecam exactly what Lady Luck* has landed in his lap, there's no fear now of spoiling anyone's fun... so here's the link to the video mentioned.

Actually, watching that might spoil someone's day...

 

Hopefully the Cannock Calamity ain't reaching these levels of calamatatiousness. Yet.

[AlsoMike]

I think I've sussed it. Started asking myself if they are THAT bad, but realised i didnt need to.

That needs a link!

[Datsuncog]

^^^ Will post the link after the big reveal!!! Just found it again, it's on Arsebook rather than Youtube.

 

EDIT: if you absolutely can't wait, go to Keltec Performance Powerflow Leeds, select 'Video' on their Facebook homepage, then enter the make and model in the 'search' box of what you think is winging its way to Chez Cav as we speak. They have a huge number of videos, but there's only one video of this make and model.

[Cavcraft]

Please be the Insignia! Meanwhile...

 

 

[Tamworthbay]

When is it due Billy?

[Cavcraft]

I don’t know, Clive. I’m guessing it’s probably 1.5-2 hours from there to here, and will probs depend what truck he’s using and butty stops etc.

[HillmanImp]

Single wiper gave it away. Not what I was thinking. Probably a good bit of profit in that.

[dollywobbler]

Amazing! It isn't a single wiper...

[Split_Pin]

Unless it has only one of the possible two!

Jesus Shitting Christ!

[Cavcraft]

It’s arrived! Roll on getting home tonight to see exactly how GR8* it is!

 

 

Thank you. I think.

[Supernaut]

[Split_Pin]

Mega, at least its something sensational*, would have been boring if it was a MK6 Fiesta or such like.

[Sloth in a bowl]

 

Looks like the rear window stays up now anyway.

 

I actually think that for £350 + £30 fee, this was a proper bargain if it is good to be used for a couple of years.

Of course it may only be fit for scrap but an MOT till November suggests some use can be got from it.

[Captain Furious]

That's not too shabby at all.  Kinda jelly..

[Split_Pin]

Only significant advisories are brakes and a tyre, looks alright that.

 

Cant believe these are so cheap now. I recall a girl I used to work with got one of these when they were new and we thought she must have been earning way over the odds!

[barefoot]

Well done.

 

I don't really know what it is, but it's better than a poke in eye with a Fiesta/Corsa/Saxo etc

[andy18s]

Well,that's a surprise....

I had it down as a Xsara as they did quite well on the WRC

Will make a fine companion for those already on the Pasture Layaways Of Potential Profit (PLOPP)

[320touring]

See Billy, cannae say I'm no good to you?!

Can't find it for love nor money.  Possibly harder to find on mobile Arsebook?

 

Edit.  Found it by scrolling through them all.   Holy Guacamole!  That is just unbelievable.  Was it parked in the sea?!?!
