Will you keep it for will my 06 corsa be work 3 grand in px the list goes on but mostly the same ones as Mikey ..

Thanks for the laugh david lol some people eh maybe its a special edition it changes colour when you wash it with look warm water back to blue like the toy cars i had when i was kid .. the funniest one i had i had was on a px i offered a price for it less than what he first wanted says few days later phones say he wasn't comfortable accepting my offer at that price i think here we go but he says he and his wife have had a discussion and would accept £500 less for the px as it has his car has few little marks ok no problem Thanks says me and he buys the car .

Good luck with the new venture Mark all the best with it mate ...

Nothing new really been happening at most auctions for years ..

Can you not trade mrs c in for a new model .. lol one of our local mot stations was saying the aa breakdown cover is fairly good and he has never had any problems with them paying out .

Had the same on a c4 was the resistor ...

Ive a 2 separate mates deal only in commercials both have been buying direct out of companies lately one says its cause he cant see what he's buying in person the other say its due to online places although i buy a bit of both mainly cars though i can honestly say I've not bought a decent small van in a few months

Is deffo a plus to us having them not open to the public .

use both ways really either or works but did enjoy the catch up with staff and other traders I do wonder how it affects some of the old school who have never used a computer i know a couple of elderly traders from the auction that don't so much as own a smart phone always liked to see stuff in the flesh as was never a great believer in some of the grading systems . But as you say its the modern way for everything inc banking etc so guess we all have to move with the times ..

You really do miss it . Even just the blether and social interaction with the other traders auction staff etc .. I agree with the everyone I think it will be a long time before any of us set foot in a physical auction .

One of our old runabout cars is a corsa cdti it is even on an 06 reg could maybe do them a px deal lol

Still going strong dave few friends in trade use them .. remember the manual jepson machine in the first garage i worked in you had to have about 4 attempts due to the damp letters in the old mouldy store room and the spacing template was long gone so you just had to judge it by eye .. God i hated that machine used to shout on the boss or one of the others from the mechanic body shop to make them when i was there as an apprentice .. funny thing is after them using it years they had it down to a fine art and could make a decent plate with it .

Had the same thing .. with a local factor you would think they would want to keep your business during these times said they could reopen it and in the mean time id still get trade prices i like you do go else where now ..

I agree sometimes u have to through the book away .. so to speak .

Good luck in your new business

I recommend number plates scotland to anyone I'm sure they would deliver down to by courier worth asking the question always found them really helpful and they were a lot cheaper when i looked in to it .

Like the plan dave ..

Sounds about right for bca .. guess it will be due to covid the gas board british gas scottish gas what ever its called here now wouldnt come out and service my parents boiler cancelled at the last minute there both in there 70s and dad has dementia i thought gas were key workers too..

Go on david Thought it would be the office .. are we all invited dave ?

Would agree it will be slow just plodding along as normal see how it goes play it by ear sort of thing

The line in to the local McDonald's was grid lock tonight when i went out for some shopping .

Northern Ireland ones have been fine. And yes you can request an age related plate from dvla as far as I'm aware ..

I understand that . Currently trying to do a similar thing by keeping busy and also look after my dad who has dementia so trying to juggle both with family which although I'm keeping busy not as busy as I once was due to it consider the topic closed let's get back to the cars ..

All the best Marcus to u and your son and of course I wish you wife all the best with her treatment . Hope it goes as well as can be expected ..

Prices are crazy at the minute I've seen some retail cars up for not much more and some times in line with auction prices .
