Default She's obviously a Celica GT4 enthusiast

I worked it out in the end.
Read her item description and see if you can work out how much she knows about her car.

1993 TOYOTA CELICA GT4 TURBO RED on eBay (end time 21-Aug-09 14:32:48 BST)

Ooh science car! I think I'll ask her a silly question comparing it to a Delorean with a flux capacitor.

I asked: wow nice car!! which number of the limited edition of the 4 is it? I am very intersted, I believe the last one sold for £22000 on here?? carlos drove all the cars personally from the point of manufacture down the australian rally track to each of the four people's homes who were lucky enough to buy one of these very very rare super cars. do you have a price in mind for a fast private sale?

Wish I'd never sold mine - didn't realise there was only 4 of them.....and I'm sure Mr 'science' has one parked in his garage - so that leaves 3 others...

Looking at her ad in general are you all really surprised at her mathematical ability (or lack thereof)? Four is probably as far as she can count and it equates to 'quite a few but not as many as lots'.

I always get suspicious when anyone lists stuff as being "Full" like "Full Electric Pack", its just someone with limited things to say bigging standard features up, those with no knowledge who turn any car from being a bog standard shed into some mythical fire breathing rally car because it says "Sport" on the back, on an Audi Quattro this means somethign, on a 1989 for Escort it means it has a badge stuck on the back and everything painted white, it doesnt have a magic engine with more power than the ordinary one, it has the same one, I always find that actual facts are better than making it up as you go along.

Out of the 4 it'll be the quickest - coz it's red innit?

Seriously though, why wouldn't you spend a few quid on a couple of tyres if that's all that stands between it and a full MOT; it would make it more saleable. Or is there more to the fail sheet than we really know???

Shame she hasn't said anything about the bad bonnet line or the front bumper damage.

Its seen better days but looks like its either a renovation job by a GT4 fan or for part-out.
