Come on boys, even if you guess wrong you both get +1 participant point!

Yeah okay, we are in injury time!   

Well we tried Mike....

Yep, so it's GAME OVER! 

Time for a lie down. 

Welcome back Swerve - I knew you couldn't keep away  

Well I don't know why but I'm feeling generous this evening, which as we all know is completely out of character!   

But for golfman16 and dubm3 we will give them their weekly point for playing as it's the start of the season.

So Si 36thcrazyfist please add their points to the table next week and I'll see you all in the morning!    

You're all in for a shock I can tell you.   

waiting for the 'shock' then Mike, so see how many thousands I am out by then!

Morning all, so straight on to the result of the 2nd match of the new season.
I kinda have a wee niggling feeling that the price on this car is going to shock a few people but here goes!  
If you remember this car is a 1977, 2 owners, with 49,000 miles.

Car No. 2
The 'Asking Price' was £860 or €1,200



So onto the results.

1st Place                            Kenneth Cartwright                    £1,000   
2nd Place                             ppc229w                                     £1,150              
3rd Place                                 RichardHall                                 £1,385           

So there you have it.
Now if we were to take an average of the prices put forward we have the following results:
Average guess: £2437, which was a whopping £1,577 away from the asking price of £860!

Should be interesting to see how the table stands now as we have a new kid on the block.
So chat amongst yourselves for a while and I'll be back later with the league table and some other interesting Info.    

awww man thats a shock, its that another 4th place for me....slow and steady wins the race haha

Just build on your strong start and the win will come.  
A bit like Liverpool.    

Curve ball on that one, and I thought Mike was tricking us with the old "it's a 1977"

Blimey! you never know do you! Recon they did not know what they had?! Think I will stick to the delights of attending the oval game! Nice win for Quinn's last night! Well done the winners!

I just like to thank..my family..dog..wife..school teachers..God…The USA.. yes I'm sure if they checked out ebay or something else they'd have put extra 2k on window. Not many countries have the same love for old cars like we in UK do.

Kennith you wait my friend, you can find some totally insane prices over here as well and don't forget this is Austria.
It ain't cheap mate!  

Happy with that, thought I had gone too cheap!! Bargain buy for someone

Well I have to be honest as far as I can tell this car is still for sale.
The advert only came out about two months ago and it's high up in the mountains which tends to put people like me off.

Well that and the thought of our field spaniel dining on my tecticals on the night should I bring it home!  



Poor pic from my Wife's mobile but what he's centing hence the focus is the Stags when we were in the mountains early September and they were still very vocal and active!    

All down to the quality of the pictures I think, the bits when you enlarged the photo which looked quite blurred, were  probably tons of filler. And  the interior which looked like brown dust was probably rust seeping through.

Wonder what we will have instore next then….

I would of paid that for the top mounts

Richard, I can't say for certain on this one but we do not have any of the rust issues you all suffer back home.
It's extremely unusual to find a golf suffering from rusty front end, inner wings, door sills etc…
So you won't make a fortune selling panels or fillers here!

There is absolutely no salt in the air here and they use the absolute minimum of it in winter.
About 10% of the gravel mix I think.

I just think this happens to be one of those that someone has inherited, they look at it dirty and they don't like it .

So they want the space and the cash in the pocket, maybe young like a grandson or something!
