My first collection thread

[dieselnutjob]

I just viewed and paid for something interesting.

Things already got interesting because for whatever weird reason the VIN plate was in the boot and the seller had lost the boot key.

Fortunately, for the first time in my life I managed to pick a lock and popped the boot.

Now I'm going to get a trailer from a hire place to collect it tomorrow.

I'm supposed to reveal the story a bit at a time with photos etc, no?

How do I post photos from an android phone?

[yes oui si]

Click add files:

Then Files;

Then select the file you want to add. 

It will then appear under the post entry box, under 'UPLOADED IMAGES' - click on it there and it will be inserted into the post.

[Mr Livered]

Yeah or you can take pictures as you go and attach them instantly if you choose "camera" instead of "files"

now at hotel near trailer hire place.  Breakfast is paid for.

I am absolutely amazed that sticking a small screwdriver in the lock and twisting whilst raking the pins with a bit of wire about five or six times popped it.

The seller called three locksmiths in a row who all said that it was too difficult and was about to call one out who said that he could drill the lock barrel out.

OK, but what about the car you paid for? 😄

I thought the cup of coolant looks to be a bit rusty ?

What kind of bullshit breakfast is that?

[loserone]

France has excellent breakfasts available in every small village, but it's amazing how you can also find places able to sell plastic food like this.  Fills a hole!

The trailer has a terrible vibration at 30mph, it shakes the back end of the car side to side, but above about 40 it smooths out
