    I think it's about Marchy time until October? Bascially, when it starts getting lighter in the mornings until it starts getting dark. You should look for an indoor one, might cost a bit more for the stall but I figure the warmer you are the more likely you'll be to buy somebody elses [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE]amazing items!
  • I find car boots these days seem to be too professional - people selling DVDs and tools and car parts and fruit and veg ... I like looking through other people's old bric a brac but they seem few and far between now :(

    I think the one at Sedgefield racecourse is fairly unprofessional! Thats where my dad has always gone to sell our tatt at any rate.

    Feel like I need the week off to be NOW to catch up. Need to see all these venues, research and go out and look for a new car, get our car(s) cleaned up to sell, take the slugmobile to the mechanic to be fixed at the front to sell it, make a list of the stuff I need for the party, and plan it. Would also kind of like a theme or a twist for the party, but I can't come up with anything that isnt tacky, so I think I'm just going to go without one.

    You've got us all confused now Dinah! Are you selling both cars to buy a new one to share?

    I love doing car boots (apart from the early morning part), I am planning on doing one next weekend if the weathers OK. We usually manage to sell a fair bit even though we don't have much that is worth a lot. we do clothes for a £1 each and sell quite a few, got quite a lot of Polish ladies living round where we do it who buy them.

    Plan is to sell both cars as trade ins against a 4 year old ish A4, passat, A3 or golf. I saw an A2 very reasonably priced but it looks scary. Also saw an A6 but I think its a bit big and would be expensive. NIM gets bus days I'm working late or am at sewing class. Now I need to work out which one makes the most financial sense, which is the part that baffles and confuses me! (Want it to be the A4 but thats doubtful!). The reason all the cars are VWs or Audis is our mechanic works for VW and can get both sets of parts really cheap if they need work, get them on the electronic tuning machines for free and so on.

    I've seen people cycling on the A19 before, I always feel the need to pray for them.
