eBay tat volume 3.

Yet another public holiday today so went out for a ride, and found a garage selling shite that I could actually look at!

Had 4 UK plated 1980's Yank cars for sale between €8000 and €12000, but just looked like run of the mill sedans. Sorry, photos i took didn't come out.

Two Brit reg taxis, the R plate one €7000, the other €9000 (could easily go into the ebay Bargains thread)20201208_144645.thumb.jpg.fea7eb56f4197267a4a2475ca6c6e965.jpg20201208_144656.thumb.jpg.134ba88c5ee5f6376cc477ab3137601b.jpg

Nice little Fiat that didnt look full of wob up for €4500, but it does have a flat front tyre. No idea if that's a good price or not.20201208_144632.thumb.jpg.f9eee83badf0e1a3db5861ef416b5ed0.jpg

They had a few more 80's cars in the (locked up) showroom including a UK G plated Rolls. and a couple of Alfas. Will definitely be back here soon for a proper look round.

Upon reflection I've deleted my comment because it could be read incorrectly - but feel free to contact me directly on what I said previously in my post I've taken down. I feel words on a page can come across incorrectly when you read them

I think you did a braw job Steph.

You canne compare your situation were presumably you had minutes to get used to a unfamiliar box, against a video of someone who has owned the thing so knows its foibles and sweet spots.

If I was driving it, it would have ended up as a box of swarf!

You could buy them for £5/£10/£15, hammer them round the fields for a few weeks, eventually totally destroy them then start again with the next one.

You could also 'teach' a novice how to ride them, by simply showing them how to hold the throttle fully open, before a mate on the left hand side kicked it into gear and you jumped out of the way.
