Car Boot Sales (Was: more talking to the press.)

Then again, to my experience Britisch car boot sales are the best ting after dumpster diveing... I still remember two stories, one was at a car boot sale in Ascot, where, literaly, the third guy after the entrance had an Olivetti PC-1 siting there, including the CRT and a fitting stand. A machine I was looking for since years. With a sign stating 2 GBP (about 1 kg:).. I must have had a funy look in my face, since the tried to explain what the machine is, when I told him that I know it, he insisted that 2 GBP is the limit... Of course I took it. The other sale was on a car boot sale I just found along one river wile driving along ... There was an old lady and an incredible beautiful HP-46 like new in the original carrying case. When I asked for the price she replyed "Is 50 pence to much". I was stunned, and still feel bad about just saying yes. So, travler, if you'll ever make it to the island, don't forget to stop by any car boot sale you can find. Gruss H. -- VCF Europa 5.0 am 01./02. Mai 2004 in Muenchen http://www.vcfe.org/
