Calling all wobsters! Shite auction N. Yorks Sat. 6th July

Post by fried onions »

I have been wanting to attend one of these for a while, not so much to buy anything (why would I from an auction), but to study the proceedings and laugh at other people's stupidity and misfortune. The driving in North Yorkshire is fantastic as is the dining, it promises to be a fun day out. Who's in?

If the paperwork comes through I might be in UK picking the Fiat up. North Yorkshire is kind of on the way to Hull port...

Oh yes.
What's more fun than looking at shoddily wobbed together rubbish covered with a quarter inch of wavy high gloss red paint that's still sticky?

I should have the ioniq by then so mpg of 60-70 may mean it's doable for once!

Let's do an auction game. Various categories, etc, etc.
Only since it's a classic car auction, the winner is who selects the most expensive tat.

Jolly good-o. Are we being conveyed by R16 or Humber?
