Angry Ebay idiots

I advertised one of my cars on there on Friday and I got a text message yesterday morning at 1:30 am and a call this morning...........at ten to 3! luckily I had my phone on silent but what are these idiots thinking? Obviously I shouldn't have put my number on the advert but you do when you advertise anything else

Not happy

How do you advertise your car then? On autotrader etc you have to put your phone number up You just don't expect dicks ringing you up at ten to three in the morning.

I've seen that mate and it's awful The engine looks like a toy plastic one

What's going on with your car hunt? It's a shame this one's an auto because it'd have made a good track car because it flies!

Well the 200 is going at the end of the month, then the astra after that. WHen I have a house and thats all sorted, I will get another car! I'm either going for a Carlton or an old shape MX5. Depends which is cheaper to run.
whats your carlton like on fuel and running costs?

Running costs are very cheap and fuel isn't that bad either, I think you average 26mpg out of a 24 valve and you should see that easily on the road I'm thinking (only thinking at this stage) of selling my other one if you are after one.

Well, I'm looking for one, but I dont want to deprive you of yours! Put me down for firsties if you do want to sell it though, it has to be better than buying from autotrader as I know its been well looked after
