Auction
« on: 21 October 2006, 17:59:03 »

I went to an auction in Ewloe which is down the road from me today and guess what was there. A 99 metallic grey Elite with cream leather, one previous owner and the dealer, 123000 miles, a full service history and 8 months MOT. So did I buy it, Like a first class pillock I am, No, how much did it go for £480 :o. I now own an Alfa GTV which will be up for sale soon but I wish the Omega came after the Alfa and I would have bought both. So now im kicking myself :'(

Clwyd Car Auction, Holywell Road its been there for at least 20 years that I know of. It starts at 12.00 every Saturday and its good because Saturday is a traders busy day so they tend to stay away :y

This auction gives you an hour g/tee on all cars up to five years old and if theres a fault with the engine, gearbox,axels or suspension they will give you a full refund or the cost to repair. All cars are also HPI before they go through the auction :y
