[dollywobbler]

I'm going to be an early bird for breakfast, as I need to get back to the NEC. I have a box of magazines that needs to find its way to Chaseracer.

[rantingYoof]

Alas I cannae make it. Organising new child things has to take priority.

 

I look forward to seeing the results of the game!

[clayts450]

Bollox - overslept.

 

Shall have to forego bacon at the cafe and proceed directly to the rammel/hammer interface unit....

 

Will be leaving imminently

[brownnova]

Owing to tractor and lorry delays we’ve made our way straight to the site of purveyors of fine* automobiles.

 

See you here soon!

[Pillock]

Has the truckers rest posse left?

“Honda What-ever-it-is”

 

The auctioneers assessment of the Skoda Octavia was my favourite quote from him today.

[Pillock]

Surely not as good as claiming there was still an Avensis to go when the carpark was empty and the crowds walking away.

That clearly didn't happen.  Feel free to swing by tomorrow when you've finished at the Hall of (Weird) Lights.

 

Tea will be available.

[Sloth in a bowl]

I am currently on child minding duty but will work out and post the auction game results later this evening.

 

Thank you all for taking part.

[hairnet]

Hairnet is currently having a.sprite and muffin.at Boston Logan

 

ETA 5am tomorrow then all day ferry to England

 

Fuck its gonna.be a.long day

[Pillock]

Thanks all for making it a lovely day out. Felt very social indeed, in fact missed half the cars going though and hardly took any photos! Too busy chatting.

 

Highlights:

* The 59 reg Seat Ibiza that needed a jump and then ran on two, possibly one, through the Shed of Shame making a noise not unlike a Kubota. Bidding reached £590 and then they rightfully kicked it out of there before we were submerged by unburned petrol.

* The madness that was one (black, definitely* never been a taxi) Zafira making £725 and then the very next, better specced, lower mile one making £320. Guess which one I chose in the game, and guess which one Mrs_Pillock chose?

* Having an attack made against my life by an auction driver in a BMW 7-series. I was minding my own business and the next thing I know he's gunning the engine and driving straight at me. Well, that or he tried to get it through the roller shutters next to my seat at 2mph and took a chunk out the bumper just after the hammer fell. Buyers went straight back to haggle some money off

 

There was a gangsta Merc CLS with cutaway arches, Halfords wheels and an obscured VIN number

 

There was this.... thing.... that had a variety of 'shiters guessing how it had been painted but most of them revolved around "from a distance", "with their eyes closed" and "using a paintball gun filled with humbrol enamel". It had been painted both top and bottom, but not at the same time so there was still a join line. You can literally get your hand inside the engine bay through the panel gaps.

 

This was my burger. 

 

This was the inside of a Range Rover foglamp

Sloth, do you still have any old auction sheets that are scannable? I feel the need to BIG some DATA and see how long some of last year's tat lasted.

Safe home, SCTSH persons various.  Brilliant to see you, as ever.  

 

Big thanks to Maister Flower for doing the EuroJunkit driving in the DiscoGolf.

[sofarsogood]

What about the Range Rover with the extra indicator in the rear quarter? £2000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BL Bloke]

Don't forget the Citroen Relay with the water leak.

Seamlessly takes your eye away* from the damaged panel.

[brownnova]

As ever a super day out! Great to catch up with those I’ve met before and to make some new acquaintances too!

 

 

The trowel painted Caddy, the 207 which looked like it had been mended with putty, the Relay which was pissing water everywhere, the ‘carbon fibre’ bonnet X5, and the 2 cylinder Ibiza showed the high quality of the rammel up for grabs.

 

But a battered Kia Carens with MoT for £125 was a true bargain!

And I managed to keep my bidding arm in check... just about!

 

Already looking forward to the next time chaps!

Yeah, sorry. I had to get back to the show, so had a lonely Trucker's breakfast, then disappeared. I'm going to drop the mags off with the new owner, but thanks for the tea offer.

[kirton]

Ibiza with rear bumper artfully sikaflexed on with self tapper on nearside for added win?

Good meeting and big breakfast plate wiped clean at first attempt

[Sloth in a bowl]

First the catalogue scan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Results to follow...

[puddlethumper]

An entertaining day out. Good to meet new and old shiters.

Great competition in "Guess the most awful shite you can find".

I'm sure I didn't win but waiting in non anticipation never the less.

[Ghosty]

Looks like I missed a good one, damn. 

 

(I'm broke and went to work instead).

[Sloth in a bowl]

1st place equal - Anthony G and SlothInABowl - £2245 - We both choose the same Lots 27, 26, 32, 25, 40, 104, 513

 

Despite the seeming distance from the winners to the pack, several people were just one dodgy choice away from a win.

I'm still kicking myself for picking the rusty Ka (bubbles under the fuel filler) over the older but tidy VW Lupo. Bah and humbug.

 

See you next time.... 

[BL Bloke]

I lost out big time by picking the ' carbon fibre' bonnet X5 for my automatic which ended up selling for £1950. Apart from that I had a great day and it was good to put some faces to some of the names I've seen on here.
