Were the reason I found this site - what happened to them? Did V8 get blackballed or something by the 2nd hand car dealing mafia?

Essentially yes, they didnt like him taking pictures of auction cars, without them the reports weren't the same

They were the reason I found this site too. Any chance he could carry on and ignore the wkers at the auction house? It would be good to keep an *accurate* finger on current prices rather than the CAP/Parkers crap.

I enjoyed reading these too. Even without the pics I would read through them.

Edited for spazzy wording.

I can totally see why the dealers wouldnt be happy, cant have been easy for him taking pics & notes with dozens of disgruntled 25 stone car dealers around him....but they were the best guide available for valuing cars from a dealer IMO.

He does still post them occasionally, but as the others said not really the same without pictures
