Why does he have a 'wink' at the end of every advert? Sometimes even 2. Or are they miss-spelt '*****'?

Still, at least you won't lose your car in the car park.
Imagine reporting it stolen, your insurance company may even charge you as they could argue the thieves did you a favour

I'm not actually sure why he described it as silver, when the predominant (okay, it's probably stuck on) colour is orangey. Unless that's a shade of silver that I was previously unaware of.

There should be a special force that seeks these individuals out and firstly crushes their cars and secondly, dishes out many blows to the knackers to ensure that the ****** can not produce any offspring and thus further degrade the human gene pool.

I wondered about that as well. Then I remembered that if you advertise a car on Ebay (as a classified it's a good way to sell...) when you are filling in the details, you enter the reg. no. and the DVLA records are used to fill in a lot of the fields.

So... I reckon someone resprayed their car that hideous shade of orange and negelcted to tell the DVLA of the change of colour.

Hmmm......

I thought Star Wars - with the sort of scrap-yard style panels used on the x-wings and snowspeeders...

Hmm, Tron, Star Wars, I'm not sure...



Obviously the battery booster pack in the footwell is there purely as a precautionary measure as the ad clearly states it starts first time!
