Monday 16th, Blackbushe Auctions

[bmw2002]

If anyone is bored, I am heading down to BCA at Blackbushe with my brother for a nosey and see if there are any unloved gems going through.

[angryS3owner]

I'll unfortunately be at work, which seems to be a bit of a theme at the moment

Have fun.

[bmw2002]

You seem to be there a lot atm......is it busy? (daft question!)

[angryS3owner]

Busy and lots of complaints some of which are aimed squarely at me so can't even take the piss at the moment (not that I ever really have).

Will try and find time to make it to the meal thingy this week but even that's looking doubtful at the moment as I feel like crap as well as everything else.

Ah, ok bury your head then chap and get it sorted out, important stuff comes first.




But if you have to do work stuff we understand

That Omega looks alright!

My brother ended up with a 98 Renault Scenic, diesel, 85k miles, history, 1 owner, that looked like it had been polished with a brillo pad...........£250
It obviously had never been red lined before as the smoke screen is still on the A30

[angryS3owner]

£250 did that include fees as well? Good work

Excluding fees, which knocked it up to nearly £380, but still a bargain, I think he'll put it straight on fleabay to try and double his money...quite a few sheds going through today, luckily I left my wallet at home otherwise I would have come home with a few!!

[tuscan_al]

Well think there will e a clio advert on ebay tomorrow and then looking for something new. Changed the caliper, got one from the scrappy for £10 so not bad. But feels like im waiting for the next thing, maybe its and Audi underneath...

[angryS3owner]

My clio also wasn't that reliable

That said it was some weird arse ABS fault when going around sharp right hand bends that got them most stumped.

It was also the near on £500 service inc brakes that made me want a reliable german car, needless to say Audi shot them out of the water with the first Service on the S3 being nearly £700 and didn't really include anything consumable other than the wiper blades

I don't think I'm meant to own a nice reliable car, but thinking more and more the next one in a few years will have a V10 and even more crap to go wrong

[VerySideways]

Ahem!
