FireKnife Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 The car of my dreams (literally) is for sale on eBay. It is only 800 quid (atm). It is, however, 450 miles away and doesn't run. Needs just the right amount of Tinkerton tinkering to be a fun project. I am just about depressed enough to buy it anyway and *fruitcage* you all becuase its the only car I've ever *wanted*, and *fruitcage* it, you only live once and i can live on beans for a while... Are you trying to convince us, a group of airsofters, to talk you out of making an expensive and time consuming purchase that you may regret but will love and cherish even if it never leaves your house? Erm, good luck with that I am off to stroke my Series 70 that I am looking at getting a case for. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm intrigued. A dream car for £800. What is it? Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Really sorry about your Gran, Stunt. I guess it might be thought of as an end to suffering if she was really ill, but sometimes that's not a lot of comfort. Hope you're okay. Having seen you, I find it hard to believe that anyone would verbally abuse you in person, to your face, unless they were a lot bigger and scarier than you... Should have just got them thrown out of the place as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Its a dream car with no carburettors and a seized engine block. Don't want to say what exactly as I'll risk angering the eBay gods (or worse yet, someone else finding it) but suffice to say depending on how I get it set up it would be equally at home at war and peace and also round a racetrack of a weekend...

hitmanNo2 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I see. Well go buy it and post some pics already. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yeah, buy it and stop worrying about you know life, rent and all that 'important' bull-*suitcase*. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 If there is one thing I have learnt from those fine folks at Operation East Wind is that sometimes you have to bite the bullet and take the opportunity when it comes up to get these vehicles as you never know when another will show up.

Azubi Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Stunt, condolences on your loss. It's never a good thing when you lose someone in your life. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Check the insurance before you buy that car ! Could be classic ( cheap. ) or prestige / sports ( bank loan premiums . Also hpi it as you don't want a rebuilt write off . ( unless its something shockingly rare ) Whatever it is do your homework for parts and spares availability , good luck !! Also my deepest sympathys and condolences stunt , Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Honestly, who would buy this? Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Because you dropped and cracked the furniture on the one you had, don't have UKARA and want to stay on the right side of the law? It is only a £10 Logic says that but reality says I don't see it being snapped up soon. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Starting bid is a tenner, with £4.50 PnP. Don't open that ukara can of worms, plenty of defences other than just ukara registration (skirmishes diary or being a member of an airsoft site with pli), though, they're all unproven, as no-one has gone to court to prove their defence (yet). God help anyone, that has too. I swear my guts are destroyed and need a complete refurbishment. Throw in a new throat while we're at it. Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 You'd have pretty bad luck, to brake the front grip, stock and the top rail/sights. If it sells, I'd be amazed. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm OK. She was a tough old lady but in the end there were all sorts of things going wrong with her. As for somebody having a go at me - some people live in a bubble, floating along, thinking they are invincible. You could see the point when she stopped shouting and the penny dropped - this guy might hospitalise me. Why not, what's the worst case here? I get deported? Wouldn't be the first time.

Tinkerton Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Shmook: i was about to ask the same thing! I think its time we had an "AmatuerStuntMan's guide to getting thrown out of countries" thread! Back on topic. Morning After 7 is in exactly 6 days, and currently the only working gun i have is a TM 1911 with three standard mags... I've broken the M60 wiring trying to troubleshoot it, waiting for some new wires and bullet connectors to remove the stupid 3 pin plug at the front of the gearbox, and then waiting for some new fancy high-tensile steel screws and bolts so i can actually remove the gearbox from the gun more than twice without stripping the screws. The AK-74 is still dead in the water ever since i tried to R-hop it (i know, i know) Fortunately i've got a new hop rubber and bucking waiting for me when i get to MA. The M14 is misfeeding and frankly i have dissasembling it, so thats staying as is. The MP5K is in a bag and nothing at all is connected to anything else. its like one of them kit cars... except i put it in a bad with a load of other bits. So its more like having one kit car kit. in the same box as 3/4's of another, similar but different kit car kit. with no instructions. Joy! Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Would you mind enlightening us please?!! Shmook: i was about to ask the same thing! I'm not allowed into Singapore any more. I got drunk on a bus trip with a bunch of Glaswegians, when we got to Singapore I needed a pee. We went through passport control but there was a really big queue for the toilet so I went around the back of the nearest building for a pee (not particularly sanitary but pretty comon where I'm from). I was seen through a window and the person who saw me made a phone call, next thing I heard was the sound of weapons being made ready behind me. 8 of us were escorted back over the border by armed men and it was made quite clear that we were no longer welcome in Singapore. Pretty lame really. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 All 8? that seems unfair. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 That sucks... Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 To clarify, the lame bit is my reason for being deported not Singapore for doing it. The government of Singapore sets and enforces its laws and I broke them, if I had had a bum full of heroin then I wouldn't be complaining. All 8 of us were peeing so all 8 of us got pitched out.
