wuvvum Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 How very disappointing. I was able to understand every word of that listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It's very odd isn't it? Sometimes his auctions are fairly short and in totally plain English, other times he rambles on like a maniac, not making any sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 er, why??And the plaque is for an aero engine - not a car one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hey hey, check his other auctions, he's reducing the fleet. The Rapper Merc and Triumph Project are still available, but two more of his "whips" are up for grabs. 1970 Rolls Royce Shadow One "If you spend one hundred grand on this (about third of the price of a new one) you might have a car that looks nice."

michiel Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hmmm, brown Rolls. How/why would you spend 100 grand on that? Nuttah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 er, why??And the plaque is for an aero engine - not a car one. Yup, dead right! RR Griffon is a 36 litre V12, used, when driving contra-rotating props as on that plaque, on very late-mark Spitfires or, more likely, on the Avro Shackleton!!

pogweasel Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Amusing, but also sad... as eventually all these cars will probably get sent to the crusher when the old giffer pegs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 youre right pog, but to be honest Ive yet to see him advertise anything whereby crushing it would represent a sad loss to the UK vehicle pool. That Toyota thing is up there with the daft tractor-exhaust mini scamp once spotted on here, in the ranks of most utterly hideous and misguided vehicles of all time.

outlaw118 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Sorry, I'm new to all this, whats the deal here? He appears to be unhinged.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 He appears to be unhinged....That's pretty much the long and short of it really...Usually his eBay listings run to around 27 pages and cover everything from Wordsworth to Wells Fargo to Spitfires to the American Civil War to his uncle's brain tumour, and are more or less completely incomprehensible to anyone who isn't as unhinged as he is. So to see him writing in comprehensible English, using normally constructed sentences and - horror of horrors - staying on topic, comes as something of a shock to those of us who are familiar with his eccentric ways.

His Chrysler auction used to end with a photo of a pictureframe or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyloud Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm not sure about the validity of the listing of this fairground ride reject being based on a 1973 Toyota Hilux chassis - I'm fairly sure the pick up wasn't imported into the UK until the latter half of the 70's. I'd be tempted to buy the thing strip and find out what chassis it actually is based on. I suspect its based on a grand piano hand crafted by otters.

Dead_E23 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I suspect that there is more than one author at work, probably father and son, and that Dad is the greater mentalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I actually suspect that there is (or at least was) 3 generations at work.Some of the listings suggest the elder statesman has recently snuffed it, though I suspect Ray the younger to be the mentalist, and that Ray the elder [deceased] and Ra the youngest are the sane ones.I will be most delighted to woof around in an ex-nutter jag.
