Recommended Posts

With buyers fees he cant have paid much less for that, people happy to earn £100 a car these days.

The ABS light still on with the engine idling. Happened just out of the auction gates probably hence the private advert :-) You can't say he didn't leave enough clues.

Does anyone else think the poppy in the front bumper is his way of subtly suggesting the owner was mature and careful...

no, it suggests to me that the bonnets never been up, never been washed,and they've had no interest in the car at all as long as it starts :)

You’d think he’d remove the Aston Barclay auction sticker off the screen at the very least. If he can’t be arsed doing that bet he hasn’t even dipped it for oil. And a gallon of petrol doesn’t cost the earth either! 

The sight of those Micrawaves turnes my stomach

Rattling engine, rattling bouncing suspension.....feeling sick already

Many moons ago I used to stick the Christian fish sticker on the back, National Trust sticker in the windscreen and tune the wireless in to Radio 3...

I always tune Radio 2, mainly because I listen to that station anyway.

Love the Jeremy Vine debates, it’s like high brow Jeremy Kyle.

James Bush’s nutter story would be ideal for Jeremy Vine.The BBC would probably conjure up some academic from the University of Brixton or somewhere to argue that the customer had been the victim of harassment  and her human rights had been infringed.
