I'm getting really hacked off with shill bidders on ebay. 4 items in the last week I have been offered second chance within less than a day of the auction ending. Tonight I received a second chance offer within a minute of an auction ending. Despite usually wanting the item I won't buy them as I refuse to pay an artificially inflated price.

You know you have a problem when you buy your third mini and neither of your other two are working.

    No. Its not even a complete car, just a rolling shell. It will be a while before I get to it but I have a plan

Just messaged a guy on Facebook about a shell he is selling. His response was "its a shell not a car, the v5 went with the car" . Suspicious. I'm staying the hell clear of that shell.

Even though my Mini isn't in a state to drive or even start, being able to change into a fifth gear is really satisfying.

That moment during an engine conversion when you realise you were kidding yourself, thinking you could use the stock manifolds. Sigh

Just seen a mini shell pop up on ebay near me. In the advert it says "vin number and v5c can be provided at extra cost". Makes you wonder why it's an extra cost as surely the shell should have a vin number attached to it. Reported.

    Report them to VOSA/DVSA. The vin it part of the body and should never be seperated. Owner can keep the V5/registration as you can apply to DVSA for a new one if you have the vin

    And another. This time vin plate and log book for a convertible. According to the advert it came with part of another shell. Again reported. Its the only way to keep our minis safe.

Mini is now loaded into a container and is on its way. Holly c*** was it expensive but worth it as I want the mini home.

    I'm asking the docks to not unload it. I ended up doing half the work to strap it down so I think I can unstrap it.
