Well done to all - I hope the continued Covid restrictions don't impact on the auction proceeds - not sure what proportion of CCA sales are normally online - I realise they have been operating on this basis for much of this year, of course. Just checked the brief details

I have to say that all reports from auctions have been surprisingly positive this year so I hope this one is equally successful.

There are at least two vehicles I'd love to bid on, but being unemployed since December with no income, I think the cost would be outweighed by the divorce bill.

Did someone have some fun, judging by those black marks on the road!

That aside, it's a lovely picture but also a rather sad one.

I'm sure he had laser alignment kit in his truck. Primarily used to check his clothes were evenly laid out on the end of the bed, and the cars were loaded true and square.

A nice display I hear them say,

A fitting tribute to a very nice man, sadly missed by us all.

Yes Joe, After all the years of friendship I was still frightened to go into the truck for a cuppa. He would moan and groan about all his customers making a mess to me. I met up with Mary and David last week and we went through some old photos of his rally days. Lovely couple of hours.
