GMX Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Earlier today, I was removing my tools, the contents of the glovebox, door pockets etc from the Astra, prior to sticking it on ebay/gumtree/accepting the local brokers quote of £27 collected It started to rain again. I had the tailgate and both front doors open The dog looked out of the back door, looked up at rain, looked across to the lawn, and then ran up to the open Astra, jumped in, squatted down and deposited a sizeable No.2 Two bags worth! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAIDER32 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Traffic Police reportedly pulled over a Chav driving a Vauxhall Corsa in Portsmouth this morning. They were amazed to find the car was taxed, MOT tested, AND insured. It wasn’t stolen and there were no stolen goods or drugs found anywhere inside the car. The driver was sober with a full licence, no points and wasn’t wanted on warrant. A Police Spokesperson stated: “We had no other option than to fine him £80 for Wasting Police Time.” 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 haha, steaming heap in the car, wasting police time. I like this thread... I think you should probably sell it on to we buy any car .com, let them deal with he steaming heap the dog left in the car ,which defines the car... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 we buy any car com have offered £13, the local breaker Charles Trent; £27, Silverlake; £33 and a not so local breaker Simmonds (Dorset/Somerset border) £41, all collected. It's a tad odd, the breaker who is furthest offers the most. another site, removemycar.com, which seems to an auction/sale site for the ATFs, match the Simmonds offer as minimum, and state I could get as much as £160, if I put it up for auction.

jmurray01 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 If you really want to get money from it, why not part it out? I would never sell a whole car to ANYONE for less than £50. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 If you really want to get money from it, why not part it out? I would never sell a whole car to ANYONE for less than £50. That's quite a good idea The engine (an Isuzu rather than a GM lump) would be worth more one it's own than in the car - in theory at least. The battery is a Varta Silver Dynamic one, I only replaced in July. The whole braking system was redone last year. I've also got quite a quantity of parts anyway to put on eBay, such is my foible for buying parts when I see them: rather than when I need them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcr4cer Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Don't like vauxhalls myself but I have to say the only car I have ever owned for a long period without anything ever going wrong was a 2000 astra 1.6 club, it had done 160k miles and I paid 400 quid for never went wrong . The only vauxhall that has any love from me is my old astra :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I noticed on my way to the wheelie bin tonight, following 5 days of rain, the sometimes leaking sunroof, and of course being poo'd in/on - mould has appeared in places inside the Astra!

wilto Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's not mould as such, its the new owners, the only thing that's likely to want to be inside a Vauxhall Sent from my XT1021 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
