    Trumpington P&R is an excellent carboot, well run with great goodwill and verve by person who runs other select venues over a surprisingly wide area.

    High rate of loyal returners and wannabe's.

    Unless there are any suggestions I am going to unstick this today and maybe suggest we start a new one next season.

    As the originator of this thread, I thought the car boot advice was relevant and still think it is. Other posters have also added more great advice and I would like for us to keep all these on any new thread that is started.

    What we could do is bookmark this thread and next season when the car boots start up again in earnest link that new thread to this one. How does that sound?

  • Thanks Soolin, I will start a new thread March 2013 and hopefully it will be as successful as this last one!

    Paperback books
    Hardback books
    DVDs (films)
    DVDs (boxsets)
    T shirts (mens- used)
    Hoodies (mens-used)
    Leggings (womens- American apparel so not Tesco or anything like that)
    Womens jeans unworn
    Hollister sweatpants unworn.
    Jack Wills shirt- worn.
    Some womens beach cover ups.
    DS games
    Xbox/PS3 games.
