They want money for this and when I put a few extra bolts in they fine me and take it away. Cake and eat it springs to mind!

I noticed that one in the catalogue (and passed it onto a couple of mates...sorry paperbag)

Im bidding on a number Ive been after for years and years bounce. No bolts or funny spacing required Still kicking myself for being outbid on YEL110W for my Cerb at the last auction

I was the underbidder. IIRC I bottled it at about £2k (plus taxes and other bits and pieces they sting you for...about another 25%)

That and missing out on (read as being a student and not having the money) buying N1CKS years back, Im not doing too well. LoL

Bloomin hell yikes thats harsh.... I got an on the spot fine (£30) in Oct, the caught by the same copper in Jan which recently went to court fine+cost £143 ..... kept the plate though and mine was illegal type face, illegal spacing and a few extra bolts....

mind you my plate is only cost about £400 ... they will be able to flog yours again no doubt for a good price and do the same to other poor sod.

Bad luck

Sorry, talking hypothetically, the auction is on Thursday, just wondering if to bid, but you see the point though?
