Pillock Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Surely not as good as claiming there was still an Avensis to go when the carpark was empty and the crowds walking away. Floatylight and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 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 foglampSloth, 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.

brownnova Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 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! chaseracer and sofarsogood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL Bloke Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 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. Conrad D.
