Just pulling my post from page 794. There's life in this old nag of a thread yet. And funny how those calling for it to be closed are strangely absent from the previous 800+ pages of Skate comedy gold.

I had a Marui Galaxy recently to restore for a friend.....non-existant parts supply these days, very valuable cars!

This is a local business I visit regularly, know the owner well but he's had to shut his smaller shop to consolidate business at the more profitable one. http://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/local-business-news/another_one_bites_the_dust_but_business_leaders_say_grantham_has_plenty_to_offer_1_2741682 The business is hobby and crafting BTW, niche but sustainable with the likes of Scalextric, Hornby, Warhammer, Tamiya, Revell, Airfix etc.

When you DFCSB can field XI plus subs every match, THEN you can comment.

And how much did the Russians pay, and to whom?

Bad parenting.

Nice to see them claiming we cheated the system by having a holding company..... Erm.....there was no rule for it, so no loophole to exist. Feckwits.

61 pages since January 2010.....amateurs....

Maybe Vlad The Investor isn't talking because he's got slightly more pressing issues than a tinpot second-tier football club.... http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/06/saab-referred-to-collections-bankruptcy-threatened/

This is the best, all the other places are cliquey clubs with in-jokes and worshipping tools.

I took the statement as ''We're not speaking to anyone until we're good and ready.....so stop badgering and let us launder!''.

Whilst they may "buy any car" - they make their money from selling them on through auctions. They want recent family hatchbacks, top-spec luxury cars etc.....anything over ten years old or anything slightly out of the norm frankly does not interest them much, hence the very low offer prices - they just don't want it sitting on a forecourt somewhere taking up space that a 3 year old Megane could use. They prey on the desparate or weak, like those offering loans with silly interest rates and your house as collateral. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/03/28/we-buy-any-car-for-less-115875-22143087/ http://bevis-juicypips.blogspot.com/2010/02/190210-good-luck-with-blog.html

Quite a few big names on there, worth a punt in the NPC I think.

Buy the local paper and see if theres anyone in the Wanted ads collecting cars. We got rid of our Daewoo Nubira last week to a local scrap car collector for £180, we kept the tax. Being a Volvo V40, you should get somewhere around £220 to 250.

Might have been a pre-contract deal, so he goes nowhere else but they wont have to pay his wages until July onwards. Assuming they plan on paying ANYONES wages.....

David Nugent to Leicester, BBC local news just said they are doing the deal before LC go abroad for friendlies this week. Can't see that confirmed online, just this: http://www.thebluearmy.co.uk/news/Free-agent-David-Nugent-Leicester-City-s-radar/article-3640445-detail/article.html

Billy will be a major hit down in Skatesville.......seeing as he didn't even move to the Midlands when manager of Derby or Forest. He continued to live in Scotland from Monday to Friday, flying down for the weekends. Welcome to page 800 too.

Corpy announcing Maradonna replacing Cotterill, and his first signing being Rivaldo, bankrolled by the new owners....and the full circle is complete....

TBH situation is simple, he sees that VA's Russian money is coming in and wants his hands on it now. Not sure why he'd wait so long unless Baloo has fobbed him off with stories, cheque is in the post, bank error etc for 6 months. Norris deal is also simple......bullcrap to sell season tickets.

Song 2.

Maybe the delay between taking over, and the press conference is VA trying to working what on earth he has actually bought...

Its on my list of things to do, a few mates are leaving tomorrow and driving down. I'll be listening to Radio Le Mans in the meantiime whenever its not being broadcast on Motors TV.

Its fixed now.

And yet there were no protests from ''The Bestest Fans In The World'', no marches, no websites created.....not a peep because any money is good money for DFCSB. Skates: ''Oh yeah, Russian Billionaire....that'll do fine!''

Whoopsie, as far as I know, FB URLs can't be edited or transferred. And Calvin Davis? Is it Work Experience Week down there?
