I went to the first car boot sale of my life today near Knutsford, got there at 7am and it was absolutely rammed!
The best item I saw on offer was a TS450, I started it up and the seller then said he would take no less than 300 quid, so I gave it a miss.

That’s what I was expecting haggi old boy, the only thing the range rover boot sellers were selling was duty free rolling tobacco! One pouch at a time……..just incase trading standards people were about I rec!

i did them 15 years ago at the herts showground but they have gone to shite round here now
it used to be proper car booting with people selling all sorts of bricabrac
now if you do it you just get poles and pakistanis offering you 10p for year old dvds priced at £1
last time the missus did one i nearly chinned someone who wouldn't stop annoying her so I am better away from them
in the past have picked up a metal bucket of 10 wooden lead beaters for £2

There was no gear for sale of the quality of yours MSH at Knutsford!
Your fold up table is in better nick than all the one legged dolls and broken hoovers that I saw on Sunday!
