The sale is up at Errol, midway between Perth and Dundee tomorrow, there might be something of interest among the boxes.

I was going to look at a trailer and maybe have a bid on the work stands.

Just made myself busy tomorrow. Those land rovers look tempting anof vehicles on the drive...... but where is the telephone bid number? And I'm sure those boxes are stuffed full of 10 speed chains.

What's wrong with a lump hammer? Everyone needs a BFH occasionally.

ToD, just fixed up the Discovery no need.

But this is on the wish list.

I noticed the Cervelo too.

Anyone looking for a lathe should check out the one listed.

If I had the cause to use one, these would be on my shopping list too.

footflaps ....

to those of us in the trade its been a long time coming but on the cards for a long time, My mate was making him rediculous offers on stuff he had lying around for about 6 months before he closed and he was accepting them !

the all of a sudden he closed(shock horror) - my other mate only found out when he went to collect his christmas bike for his son......

it came through eventually so im glad he did the right thing.

tbh its likely only crap left , wouldnt surprise me if all those frames were cracked - most of all the cervelo !

Foot flaps, interesting link. I immediately thought of the Cohen brothers and Fargo.

I have no immediate plans to murder anyone and chip them so for that reason I'm oot. However I will pay special attention to any particularly shifty characters bidding on them tomorrow.

Isn't it STW protocol to start a thread beginning " Which Woodchipper for body parts? " just to be fully prepared?

Indeed - it would look far less suspicious if you bought it now.

I think it's Muddydwarf who keeps posting about different methods of disposing of bodies...

The going consensus at work is enamel bath and a large tub of dishwasher tablets to dissolve the body, then pull the plug and let it drain away. Can't remember how that discussion started....

I always think it's good to have a patio / building project on the go, just in case the need arises..

My mate bought a massive digger at an auction, it cost peanuts. Has it parked on his mums farm and we go down and dig big holes, then fill them in. Best fun ever.

Errol airfield...that's a wind-blown place in the middle of nowhere!

Collected a car from there a couple of months ago.

T-R would that have all come from a shop about a mile and a half from your old school?

So Houns were you the online winning bidder of the Oakley cabinet?

Bargains to be had if you were cautious and aware of the 20% commission and VAT on top.

Good to see the dude with the dreads filling up his hearse with bike parts.

Nope, too much hassle setting up an account to bid. How much did it go for?
