Oh, the hell yeah. It's the SE suburbs, you people punch on if the wind changes, imagine the brawls that are going to take place! I wouldn't go down there if they gave me $50 to take their shit. Good luck with that.

Says the guy who lives in Reservoir...

Eh, I haven't been stabbed yet, and I used to have to wait at the train station at 5:45am for a while too! No matter, looks likely I will be moving in the next couple of months anyway. To the true west saayyyeeedd, Hoppers represent! :cool:

sunny- look at the size of pick a part up canterbury rd and the size of ftg auto salvage.

by **holmsy** » March 17th, 2010, 10:38 pm

sean if ya do go. check out that el xr8

top radiator hose is like $150 new and i need one.

lol @ tv crews at pick a part
thatd be sick
i remember when jollys had a similar sale
suggestions of buying a bonnet then jamming shit ontop and getting 3 mates to help carry were listed in the add lol

the shit thing is, its not like $1 entry, $49 purchase fee.
its $50 entry, you then have a chance of finding something you need
its good for them making money, bad publicity.
they probly would have made more money if they opened the yard and charged pick a part prices for items and left everything there lol

Dude u can go there tomorrow and have a walk around the add said. Go in there tmoz. See if anything is good. Then go back sat 9am....

by **misk** » March 17th, 2010, 10:59 pm

which for me is 2 trips, which for alot of people, they wouldnt be able to make due to work n shit anyway.
it will be interesting to see what comes of it.
they're obviously trying to turn a negative into a positive, but going by what people have been saying about turning up, i rekn a $1 (even $10) entry fee then a flat rate purchase fee if you buy anything would have been a mad idea.
i would have made the trip over there for that.

by **iliov** » March 17th, 2010, 11:11 pm

Didnt realise you live in coburg.

But yer i live just round the corner so im gonna pop in tomorrow morning. Doubt there will be anything good.

by **misk** » March 17th, 2010, 11:22 pm

i guess they can only handle a certain amount of people through the yard anyway, im sure they will get plenty of people through
all the best for people that are going

by **LTDHO** » March 18th, 2010, 6:46 am

Anyone that goes, take a camera and post up heaps of pic's of everything they are selling.

by **iliov** » March 18th, 2010, 6:10 pm

Went there today, Best thing I saw was NL Fairlane full leather cappa interior. Was fucked though, must have been sitting out there for ages. Oh also 1 AU xr6 vct motor. No ba motors or parts. Only one Ba Shell.

Rest of the stuff was all GLI stuff. Nothing of value really.

by **KR1STO** » March 18th, 2010, 8:56 pm

went there today for a look as well..
really not much of value..
good if you need a whole bunch of little parts though..

i think hes saying a wrecker up near him does $49 sales also, once he used a pack donkey and found his mate there, the donkey rode like a leather seat.
then it was 3:45 when the LSD wore off.

kinda sounds like something from fear and loathing in las vegas lol

lol its merely speculation...
sorry i've been talking shit more often, its fun taking the piss when i dont have anything constructive to add :hug:

hell, i know i wouldnt mind a donkey that rode like a leather seat, would proly be cheaper than a falcon to buy, service and run
in many ways they are already very similar to a ghia spec falcon*...
firm support for a wide ass, plenty of leg room, internally heated seating, seamless natural leather, unpredictable climate control, and will run on a diet of carrots

*opinion may be biased due to my incredible attraction to Donkeys

How long before all this gear hits the for sale section on the forums lol...

by **EFFalcon** » March 20th, 2010, 3:13 pm

Wouldn't want to get in the way of all your F/S threads!!

I'd say a lot of stuff will end up on ebay, the people I spoke to buy their stuff to use.

by **misk** » March 20th, 2010, 4:50 pm
