eBay tat volume 3.

[Guest]

Just texted him on last number I had from when he bought the Scimitar I sold for someone. Think that was about April odd?

Expressed the Brother(&Sister)hood's 'concern' for his welfare.

[wuvvum]

Hmm. Slightly worrying.

[messerschmitt owner]

Vek will be clearing out some cars. Nothing to worry about. He does it every so often.

[Rod/b]

Has he started selling Viagra too, or has site been hacked?! There's a link at the bottom of every page!

All is hunky dory. No need to panic. As you were. Nothing to see here. Move along please.

[M'coli]

Vek/Torsten is still held with great affection in these parts, as are you Seth. There are those of us, me included, that feel dismayed that both of you no longer post much on here - I would welcome more input and such but understand there may be other reasons behind it.

Autoshite Registrations value the number plate at £29. Balls.

The wheels need throwing away, but this is quite nice... One for Pete-M perhaps?

Hello Everyone!

Lovely to read that we're missed, nothing personal, not on any forums these days.

Seth's right, nothing to see!

The company took over the lease on the entire dungeon, it's big. I have to look after that as well as my normal job, everything is surprisingly bloody busy and both need a load of graft so some cars which I "will eventually get around to doing" are never going to get done and are taking up valuable space especially as the council have doubled the rent and rateable value.

On the plus side, having divorced last year I have found an exceptional lady who unfortunately lives in Spain, guess where I am most weekends! Her first car was a Spanish built Morris 1100 btw. She's in charge of VW after sales, I met her when my Crafter spectacularly blew it's turbo in Madrid........

I am first and foremost a biker and I recently acquired a 1969 Triumph TR6 Saint which I've just come back from France on and I love it, it sits there with various Matchless, AJS, Royal Enfield, Ural, Morini, Motobecane, Honda, Morini and Triumphs.

So I'm keeping a few cars. I was going to just get rid of the lot but I love the ex-Bickle 1937 Standard Flying 9, the ex-Tonedpear Herald, my 1972 Mini 1000 which was bought at the same time I bought the A40 (now Ratdats) and was only dragged out of the hedge 3 months ago, currently with Les @ BL Transverse and finally the 1967 Hillman Minx thanks to a brief discussion with Seth:

Me: Isn't that Minx lovely?

Seth: Yes it is

Me: I'm selling it

Seth: You can't

Me: But I must

Seth: No you can't

Me: You're right, I can't

So that's it, no more cars for the forseeable future, even some bikes must go but I must be a realist and there are a few to follow, the Subaru DL, Lada police car and a Herald 13/60 for example, form an orderly queue!

Good to hear nothing seriously amiss, Torsten and as M.C said you're missed on here.

'Genuine classic'

 

Two words which equally couldn't apply less to this shit heap if they tried.

To be fair to the seller though the letterbox built into the bonnet is going to come in handy for the SORN fines, condemming notices and mice which are undoubtably going to take hold as this is parked on someone's drive for the next fifteen years.

[Rod/b]

Good to hear all is well Torsten. If I hadn't left the country i'd have been in touch about that SD1, i always did like it. Needs a manual choke conversion to get it to run properly, I think.

[trigger]

Good to hear all us well in Torstenworld, would be nice to see some of the older members back again but i doubt that will ever happen again.

[garethj]

Is this the cheapest way into 4 seater convertible driving? A Herald advertised with 5 photos, although two of them are the same shot of the boot and two are differently blurred shots of the spare tyres.

 

I'd consider tapping up Seth for his MX5 conversion

 

This is lovely. I can't explain why, sorry

 

Been off the road for 20 years, what's not to love?

 

I'd roll in this bad boy, the Ladybird Peter & Jane books I'm reading with my youngest have lots of these in the pictures.

 

Banger racer tries to sell old car before getting the Dulux One Coat. I just don't see how they manage to find them all.

 

I saw one at Goodwood last month and it was epic

 

I :heart: this. Look at the lack of chequerplate! You'd probably get £100 back for the roofrack, too

Looks to be a good example, despite some STUPID CUNT putting RETARDED STICKERS all over it.

Think that Rancho has been up for sale a couple of times over the last year or so (unless they were commonly converted for wheelchairs).

'Will start auction at scrap price of £200'

 

£200 scrap if you put that fat bloke in the back I assume?

[Cavcraft]

Things you'd expect to see on an eBay listing: swan, dog, Bedford CF, American camper van

Things you wouldn't expect to see on an eBay listing: Alexei Sayle moonwalking in his socks.

[willswitchengage]

Does that not command an £1000 asking price for a numberplate that could easily* be manipulated so say LOLOLOLOLOLOL?

[cort16]

This thing looks a cross betweeb a Hyundai XG30 and a turnip which is still a good thing I think.

This seems cheap to me, £1095 with 10 months T&T especially compared to the equivalent thing with a blue oval

I really do not understand why old Fords are so much dearer than old Vauxhalls.

[garethj]

In my first job after university there was a bloke who had a Toyota Supra, I think it was a bit boxier than this, the 2.8 version. He then changed to a mere 1.6 Peugeot 205 GTi and was amazed how much faster he could drive everywhere.

 

This one's the non-turbo which is probably good at this age, and manual box too.

[garethj]

More pointy than a Ginetta, but less expensive to fix than a Lotus. If you want a pure wedge, this is the one, I reckon. 2.8 with 4 speed for extra poverty, but the coupe shape suits it. Being able to wrestle it from the bloke for 2 grand is tempting, as is the year's MoT

[garethj]

I don't know how much Imps go for, but this one seems like a good place to start because it's pretty original

[Cavcraft]

Jesus, that HA is absolutely lush. I'd go as far as to say it'll be the nicest car on eBay this month (at least) no danger.
