Is it me?

How come everyone of these YouTube makers manage to get their project cars for £6.2s.5pence and I can’t find anything after scouring the Interweb and every other source for a half decent price because every pile of poo is priced like it’s a shiny one.

Or I may just be imagining it.

Cheers

Ian

I know someone who knew an old guy that was kinda done with his time on minis and just having a clear out. So he said here's a pallet load of random mini bits help yourself to the lot. Couldn't just take it so gave him a tonne

Got it back and unpacked, amongst the various expensive bits was a race tuned full Cooper engine, complete, with some crazy special works head on it he'd never seen before, all the trimmings.

Crazy

A woman was giving away some old ammunition boxes and jerry cans, that belonged to her deceased husband, which I kindly accepted. I assured her I wont just sell them on but will repurpose them to keep. 

I think people are happy to give even good stuff away in the knowledge itll continue to get used.

That's true, it's better than rusting away in the shed for 30 years and being found totally knackered
