Kinross when it used to be SMA was the best too, free meals ( steak pie up there was something else) get your cars out and pay the next day nothing too much trouble. Went to BCA and turned lost the edge IMO. Shotts,what a place.Have not been for years,Big Ian and Anne lovely people,no bullshit with them.( story coming up )In fact the last time I was there this well dressed big black guy ( in Shotts ?) politely asked if I could give him advice about some car.I did,but then I said excuse me but do I know you.He said possibly and I went away.I then remembered went over and said Norwich,goal of the season way back when.He said yes,times have changed I am now part time for Falkirk or somewhere.It was the late Justin Fashanu,very sad. I agree about Kinross aswell,there was a lady who I would leave bids with and when you rang the next morning not only would you have bought one or two it was often for less money and best of all she would say ‘they are on their way’.

Am seeing £90+ Cheapest i am getting on flybe is In days time for £40 that too it's a night time flight. And we cannot book so much in advance! All of next week is pretty much £49 with Flybe from EMA to Edinburgh. even the early flights. We usually get lucky and bid on the weds / thurs and then fly up on the Friday morning. Auction is 10/15 mins brisk walk from the airport. I usually get to the airport 30 mins before the flight, hand luggage straight through security and then hop on the plane with a coffee, by the time it've drank it, time to get off the plane and head off to auction. Easy peasy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattFow 0 Posted January 27, 2019 Wolverhampton just as bad. Never anyone in the key office, when you go to ask someone there annoyed as their trying to get their cars in for the next sale. Absolutly no structure literally just chuck them where ever they fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy peasy If any of you guys are interested I could introduce you to a highly respected independent buyer ( ex BCA management) who acts for BCA account holders.He does Ingleston and several other Scottish auctions and organises delivery and stuff at reasonable prices.
