I'd probably put that though a classic auction, there are some crazy buyers at these places. We've sold a few through these lot https://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/ and achieved very good prices on fairly mediocre condition modern classic stuff (190e Merc, couple of impreza's and a SL55)

We used to do very well in late 90s buying Mk3 Golfs in Glasgow and sending to London although we always only bought the 1.4 GL models as they seemed to shift best down in smoke, christ we were doing 4 figures a unit ! Those were the days.

Yeah....Yeah .....Yeah !

I could be wrong but I don’t see that model of 1.4 Golf as an ideal auction proposition, surely it’s a classified ad job. It’s far from being desirable in terms of model, engine or specification.

Just cos it’s old & low miles doesn’t mean it’s desirable - the sort of tosser who’d want it won’t have much money & those with any money won’t want an underpowered Golf.

But, we are talking VW numpties here and everything that goes with their 'scene' and some sandle wearing, closet veggie, leftie, studenty type may wet their gusset for no PAS etc....and then paint it urban camo and ruin a rare old quaint bus.

 

lol. My second in command who is a bit new to the job can't understand why I don't deal in them. Rather then repeating myself I often point him towards this forum so he can try and understand where I'm coming from. I'll make sure he reads this little nugget.

I see it differently.

My first car was a Mk2 Escort 1.3 Pop with twin choke Webber and a K&N filter, paid £290 and resprayed it.  I was soooo embarrased to drive it as it was the equivalent of the 80/90's chav car.  Even in that spec, I couldn't afford to buy a clean one nowadays.

Personally, I would drop the fluids and replenish and store in a dry place for the next 20 years - remember this post.

If you want it gone PM me - I hate that model but I can see the future appeal.

Yeah- probably have to apply for a limited availability classic car /petrol exemption pass! For a fee of course and no-doubt petrol will be priced /taxed accordingly.

(Crap September but seems back to normal now- fingers crossed)

Is that an offical way to get her added on a V5? Or does it not work if she's "In the trade"....B)

Some of my old girlfriends bark ;)

Especially the "Dial a Shags" that I had on the go when I lived on my own after the Divorce, that was 16 years ago, when the rules were simple ...............

A Chinese or a Curry then back to hers / mine and then Coffee and "see ya" in the morning :D

To be fair I thought an Indian or Chinese was quite extravagant, it would be a bag of chips or a pot noodle if it was me.... ;):lol:

Yeah, but have you not heard that "Dial a Shags" always drop their Chips :lol:

Mine were fairly 'high end' Dial a Shags and to be fair, at the time, they probably didn't know that they were Dial a Shags :D 

Our local restaurants always used to grin when i'd show up with a different one, but to be fair they never said a dicky bird :rolleyes:

I like Chinese and Indian, and also when living on your own it saves time cooking and washing up, and a bunk up at the end of it ....................
