I'm racking my brains for a red car. Unless that was a twister to through us off the scent.

According to Google coolant in glovebox could be a corolla, an e90 a 206 or a mustang... Please not a 206!

Can't recall a Mustang either!

I also googled the symptom, as well as the above it could also be..

 

 

Mitsubishi (something foreign)

pug 306

mk3 astra (calm down Billy)

beemer e30

 

and that's when I gave up looking.

If the winner doesn't seek out the purchasers of this fine* automobile and immediately and repeatedly punch said person(s) to the ground on winning the raffle, I'll be amazed.

 

Given the alternatives in the £350 and under hammer price, I think that we got the best of what was available.

Lets put it this way, my 2nd choice would have been a Ford Street Ka 1.6

 

Now for a couple of pictures of some of the competition:

 

A 1.4 Civic that you know has been looked after

A Ford Focus Chic, the first time that Chic and Transformers have ever been seen in the same context

Did the focus have orange bits on? I'm sure I've seen a grey focus with that badge on the back before, at least twice.

I'd quite like a Ford Focus at somepoint. Never ever had one or been in one, or driven one.

No, Focus was generally unmonged apart from the Transformers badge. It was a three door and I would have happily driven around in it, which is more than can be said for the Civic.

 

Still annoyed about that bloody Bora!

I do not think it was the same Focus and am not really in the mood to go searching through my back history to find DK52OFY

Blimey! What have you lot done to Six-cylinder? He is now fast asleep on the sofa! Too many sausages at breakfast? :-)

Posted

I really rather liked the purchase, but I'm a fuckwit.

 

I scarpered before any buyage occured. I'm so disappointed to hear the galaxy evaded bucketeer

It's not safe for me to be around you anymore. I'm very suggestible and you're a bad influence.

That Galaxy went for over £400 in the end. And that's over £800 more than it was worth.

As I was leaving the auction I saw a young man and woman inspecting under the bonnet of the Galaxy out in the public car park. I recognised their language instantly and set off over to break out my best Bulgarian and have a chat. As I approached them their underbonnet inspection ceased and a blazing row began. I caught lots of angry shouting about cars, money and her mother as I hastily swerved them and exited.

Red, sloppy gears, leaking heater matrix.... I'll bet 3 bags (for life... tescos) that it's a Peugeot 106, 206 or if your lucky 205!

6cylinder’s dozing will be down to the ‘cheesy chips’ at lunchtime

And an excess of excitement

You missed a trick. Should have offered 200 notes for them to cut their losses........

Thanks for dobbing me in!

 

What's on tour stays on tour.

As an outsider I'm throughly enjoying watching all the potential winners shit themselves!

Not half as much as I'm enjoying this. You see, I know what it is! I can't wait to see the overjoyed* ,face of the winner* when they collect their winnings*

Unless I win ...

Then it is being deleted .....

Does evil Mod laugh ....

Not sure who the Clamps fella was, but he's obviously rubbish at the auction game ;)

PS Is there going to be a hidden camera at the pick-up location ? It must have sound recording capabilities, too. I want to hear the anguish.
