"...a good example of a rare car". Er. Its a Corsa. There's millions of 'em on the road! :lol:

I like the bit where he says it has "15 wolfrace alloys". Now that is rare - everyone knows you need an even number of wheels! :roll:

Now obviously not everyone is going to spellcheck their Ebay ad, but with a little effort it could have been soooo much better! Still, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole :?

You can't really blame the person who through a rock at him that caused the "dint".

I've got someone on our helpdesk that logs calls like that, seriously worrying.

yeah and he was probably cursing his PC world e-machine noisy slow windows-ME running hunk of crap for not having predictive text*... :D

thing is, if it genuinely was a 1.6 GSi to start with, he's comprehensively ruined what would originally have been a fairly rapid car - beefy engine, light body, decent gears, aerodynamic shape - well it was when it left the factory anyway! (let's gloss over the body stiffness, longevity, handling and image though shall we?)

i think if i was to (remember my username/pass, login and...) show this to the migweb boys they'd recoil in horror - it would be a bit like going to a general VW forum and showing off a chavved up G40 ;)

as for the rover, it'd be a nice piece to ride around in (the 800s weren't so sh*t as the others - same story as the 75 probably) but the servicing and repair costs on whats wrong with it would really hurt and make you question your sanity. me dad had a sterling once (825 saloon by any other name), most f*cking awesome car anyone i know has owned, but had to get rid of it because something simple like replacing the tappets (hell, i could probably do that on the polo by now) was going to cost £stupid and idiotic p. (quite a reluctant parting, for an obnoxiously red beemer estate he rapidly grew to hate because of how crap and flakey 3-series of the time were)

* i discovered a word processor in a folder on my 2nd hand laptop that was supposedly predictive, to help slow keyboarders. too bad it was garbage. text mode only (probably late 80s vintage) and completely hopeless at both guessing words and working in general. too bad no-ones made similar since - if it's come on like voice recognition has (one doctor at the hosp now VR dictates all his notes with better accuracy than his old secretary could type 'em) then it would rock 400%
