eBay Most random eBay auction item!

**Craig** · 14 Jul 2006, 17:06 (Ref:1656313)

Chatting to bella who has just pointed out a couple of very random eBay auctions. It got me thinking - could make an interesting thread! So...

What is the most random item of motorsport memorabilia that you have spotted on eBay?

Please avoid posting details of general randomness - if you find a 747 for sale, for example, stick it on Parc Ferme

So I'll start with this:

Windscreen from 1997 BTCC Renault Laguna

I mean, who in gods name is gonna want that? Unless, of course, they have a BTCC car sat in their garage, and how many people have one of them?

I suppose he is hoping some yutz will want to put that on his road car.

beau1 · 15 Jul 2006, 01:24 (Ref:1656612)

Hmmm, the same type of people who collect bits of cars at race tracks i guess, bumpers etc. A friend of mine once took home a old racing car tyre from Blackbushe Kart Track because he thought it could have come from a formula car. People will take/buy anything if they really want it. Thats quite Cheap actually!

I can kinda understand a door skin or even a bonnet, the kind of thing that you can screw to your garage wall, in fact it can be quite cool. But a windscreen?! Come on!

If the current high (only) bidder is who I think he is, then he DOES have a BTCC Laguna sat in his garage. Or at least he did, I believe it's recently been sold. Maybe one final item to add to the spares package before the car gets shipped to New Zealand.

EDIT: Why is it listed under "Cars, Parts & Vehicles > Car Parts > Ford", that's even more random.

**Craig** · 15 Jul 2006, 09:22 (Ref:1656717)

That's kinda the point though... why list it on eBay when you could contact the four or five or whatever people who actually own these things directly

Anyway... another random auction:

Alpinestars hand towel used by Noriyuki Haga in 2004

Wow, that's simply spectacular!

**Craig** · 15 Jul 2006, 09:48 (Ref:1656725)

And how about this for a gem:

Formula 1 Paddock Club Serviette - bidding starts at a mere £14.99!!

Knowlesy · 15 Jul 2006, 14:22 (Ref:1656881)

Great a Haga hand towel....wow, I will bid on it and when I get it, I will suck the genuine Nori Haga sweat out of it.

Jesus!

redshoes · 15 Jul 2006, 21:25 (Ref:1657110)

You're going to be hard pressed to beat this one.

Unused 750MC ticket from May 2005

Knowlesy · 15 Jul 2006, 21:31 (Ref:1657119)

I am so going to bid on that!

beau1 · 15 Jul 2006, 21:46 (Ref:1657133)

Thats a Tad random!

beau1 · 15 Jul 2006, 21:57 (Ref:1657141)

Odd's on Betting and Gaming Magazine

Anyone wanna buy this?

**Craig** · 16 Jul 2006, 20:48 (Ref:1657750)

Inflatable Rusty Wallace Adult Chair

Genuine redneck quality!

redshoes · 16 Jul 2006, 20:55 (Ref:1657760)

With 4 cup holders! That's actually pretty cool

**Craig** · 16 Jul 2006, 21:10 (Ref:1657774)

Oh,dear god... I have a horrible image of Nigel chilling out in that thing at Paddock Hill Bend now...

redshoes · 16 Jul 2006, 21:19 (Ref:1657787)

I didn't say I actually wanted it.

Going back to the Laguna windscreen, it would make a good front panel for a touring car themed custom display case.

**Craig** · 16 Jul 2006, 21:26 (Ref:1657793)

Cool idea! You could sit in your Rusty Wallace Adult Inflatable Chair and admire the collection. Like it

**Craig** · 17 Jul 2006, 19:04 (Ref:1658491)

Okay, how about this:

Jordan Hospitality Menu

kipper · 18 Jul 2006, 14:26 (Ref:1659164)

Timing sheet from a practice session for the 1981 British Grand Prix.

Suze · 18 Jul 2006, 14:44 (Ref:1659182)

You can have a couple of my unused 750MC tickets if you like?!

I have some old random stuff in a drawer somewhere on home, but wasn't going to sell it...!

**Craig** · 20 Jul 2006, 20:11 (Ref:1661028)

Suze seems to have killed that auction for the 750mc ticket. I hope the seller doesn't read this thread else he may be mad(der than he was when he thought some muppet would pay money for a used piece of paper)

Suze · 21 Jul 2006, 10:02 (Ref:1661365)

Twasn't me...! Found a couple last night when clearing out but chucked them now. Couple were unused!

redshoes · 21 Jul 2006, 11:53 (Ref:1661437)

That makes the one on eBay even more rare now. I'm tempted to put a bid in.
