AS in the Community - 01.02.2020: the Association of Associated MASSIVS hits Cannock auctions again...

[Six-cylinder]

So what should I do on a cold damp Saturday in February?

I know, I will drive 100 miles to a breakfast that is very bad for my health, go to an auction that has some of the worst cars for sale I have seen with the most haphazard auctioneer I have EVER seen!

What is wrong with me, I am looking forward to this very much and meeting up with the gang!

[cms206]

I shall attend. If WIFE_CMS does not wish to attend I shall bring the horrible hound, if not the Proton of much misery.

[hairnet]

150% commitment ken

ps

IN.

[davidfowler2000]

Assume I will be there. Will check shifts later tonight and advise.

I've booked my layby.

[Lankytim]

I might be able to go but it’s my 40th on the 2nd and I think the wife is taking me away somewhere nice (Cannock I hope)

[chaseracer]

Lichfield's nice, and only 10 miles away...

[Jim Bell]

I am a probably and a hopefully. 

[davidfowler2000]

Shifts checked. I am now a definite. Will book a hotel during down time at work.

Does anything go through Cannock for actual money?

I need to lose the mk4 Clio but it’s not a nail and needs to sell for what it’s actually worth 

[Sloth in a bowl]

 

 

Everything sells, but the auction is very brand and plate conscious. A newer VW that is tatty as hell will make more money than an older tidy Renault.

Long MOT helps.

What's the year and mileage?

[DoctorRetro]

How suitable would this day out be for my littlun? 7yrs old. I was just explaining a car auction to him the other day...

Most of the cars are £500 - £3,000, I am guessing you will be looking for more than that?

2015 and 7,600. 

It might need to go to a better auction house

Yeah it’ll be worth iro £5,600 to the trade I expect. 

[clayts450]

If it all works and looks good, it don't belong at no Cannock auction.

I would say it is just fine for a young one, but I might be very cold in the open yard and in the big open shed without a door!

British car Auctions have heaters and coffee shops while this lot has a bugger van and coldness! I guess he needs to see both really!

We’re likely to be bringing an 11 year old... so I’d say yes its suitable! 

[rantingYoof]

I'm going to be trying to bring alone my little 'un as soon as she's able to walk about and say 'Mondeo'.

Not for a couple of years, mind, and it'll be in summer!

[23rdian]

I might pop along if it's fairly early on Saturday as it's local for me. I have been meaning to give it a look

Way too good for Cannock. Bring it back in 10 years and get a good 100,000 miles on it.

[rantingYoof]

I did confirm to @Kiltox that the Focus he recently collected was prime Cannock fodder, however.

The auction runs from 11:00 to 13:00. We meet at the truckers rest for breakfast then get to the auction site at 10:40ish

[clayts450]

And a game. Don't forget the game. Or to bring a pen.
