Yeah you can, there’s a box for collection only during the listing process. Edit: found it Remember if you sell on ebay without an offer they’ll charge you final value fees (usually about 10% I think).

trekka Posted October 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2021 Before the days of the internet, my brother used to buy the Bargain Pages religiously every week. It seems to be run on Loot nowadays. Not sure how good it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yeah I used to buy it religiously too along with Autotrader when I used to trade. Mostly shite, but landed some right gems from the older chaps in the bargain pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a message straight back, "don't speak to me like that, we don't need it more than you, my partner's dad had died, we have all sorts of problems at the moment. Really! So sorry, thought I was a customer of there's, been 6 weeks now for a measley £30 they live 5 miles away. As I said........Idiots. Has their "partners dad dieing" prevented them from paying the money? Did the sudden death suddenly stop their limbs from working or make them lose their ability to pay via online transaction? Arseholes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're driving along and you see in the distance to the right, a car emerge at a junction. They remain there... Then, at the last minute as your about to approach and go past them the muppet decides to pull out in front of you?? What was wrong waiting for another 5 seconds of giving way until I had driven passed?? Or even at times when you're cruising along and some dickhead pulls out of a junction in such a hurry, but then proceeds to travel at 40mph when it's in a **** 50 zone, resulting me having to crawl at snail pace behind the absolute piss stains for the rest of the journey!!

mjmooney Posted October 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 Six hour drive back to Leeds from Pembrokeshire yesterday. Unlike the drive down a week ago, blissfully trouble free in terms of weather and traffic conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all the time, I wouldn't want to do it 5 times a week but every now and again is lovely. I find it relaxing. Off to Norfolk week after next and looking forward to the drive.

II do but not on Motorways. When I was going down to Bristol all the time I used to go down the middle of Wales to completely avoid the M6/5 that would have been a chore but driving that way meant I could stop off in more interesting places and when I wanted to. The scenery was obviously much better and because I did it about ten times a year it was great watching the seasons change and spotting Red Kites and stuff like that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week it was pissing down with rain, and three minor accidents caused massive tailbacks on the M62. Once we were onto the Welsh country roads, it was much nicer, watching the landscape changing (even in the rain). Coming back, it was plain sailing, and even the motorway was enjoyable, ticking off the miles across the Pennines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet, NSL country lanes with the roof down and music blaring. It's the highlight of the visit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 If the motorway is clear I would much rather travel down the motorway when I go to Manchester once or twice a week. I can go over the Derbyshire dales if I want, but strangely, I hate driving through all that country. I remember once travelling through the Dales, an it was thick with fog, I mean you really couldn't see your hand in from of you. As soon as I came back down to Derby city it was clear as day and the sun was out. For me it would be a absolute nightmare to live in a place like that, although I guess I am a typical city boy.

chrisp65 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Seen one field, you’ve seen ‘em all. I’ve been all around Huddersfield and York, Bolton, Wigan, Burnley, Halifax, Rochdale and Preston lately. The towns are far more interesting than the fields of nondescript green in between. I mean, fair enough if there’s a mountain or a lake. But I don’t get the romantic view of agricultural fields of what is basically, grass to feed cows.

Davkaus Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I'd agree with that. It's more the roads I enjoy than the scenery, but even if fields and trees get a bit dull, it beats the steel barriers and concrete walls along the motorway. Give me the same view for each road type though, and I'd still take the country lanes. And it's only half because I shit myself driving next to lorries in the Caterham Edited October 10, 2021 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 5k miles max per year and live in a concrete jungle. Fields are still great scenery for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I drove to a place called Haverigg in a 30 year old motorhome with a heavy clutch. The motorways were fine but the 45 minutes of a roads were a chore. To say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
