ROFL! Junk = illegal merchandise :-) Car boot sales are also the prime
place to buy pirate software (non-amiga, of course), DVDz, stolen TVs etc!
(not that I do. In fact I just moved to a new area that seems to
'up-market' for boot sales).
Actually they're a prime place to pick up second hand 'classic' hardware
like Amigas (normally get a basic A1200 or 2), Spectrums (CS=god:), etc.
