first carboot of the season.....and i go and land myself.....a panasonic rx 5500.....for £5 :w00t: it has to be the singular best find ive ever made-i did find a gf9191 last year for £2 but i think somehow this is a bigger deal in every way :yes: si northerner was there and he saw it after id bought it and concurred that it was a great find :yes: si did i send you a pic of it????if so would you upload the pic onto here for me? :-)
it was covered in crud,cobwebs and sawdust as it had been left abused in a shed for years,but its clean now,sadly it s not tidy though!all works,deck runs a little slow but ill live with that....so what have all you guys been finding lately?post up the pics!!!!! ;-)

Jammy bugger beat me to it...not happy...the boot sale is on my patch and he had no right to encroach on my territory...I shall be sending the bailiffs round to take back what is rightfully mine


Joking!

Well pleased for you mate, it was a great find that'll likely clean up well. And all working makes a nice change. Well done Andy :-)

Next one is mine tho :-)

"Oh NO it won't" she bawled with fingers firmly placed into her ears and stamping her feet in annoyance and frustration. :sad: :sad: :sad:

Oh and you didn't send me a pic so can't put it up here. Will do if you send me one tho.

I picked up some vintage gaming stuff and a nice Trek bike so I was happy lol :-)

Well done Andy, I can literally hear the excitement in your voice through your written words :hooray:

Si, better luck next time :lol:
Honestly I am genuinely chuffed for Andy and not miffed in the slightest...I don't really do jealousy. Anyway, I did well with other fun stuff at the car boot so I was well pleased for me and pleased for Andy :-)
