l8rz Mercedes Brown Car.

[Skizzer]

It's a pillarless six-cylinder Mercedes coupe for goodness' sake, in a shitey yet very fashionable shade of brown. There's so much more to life than MPGs, people

[richardmorris]

that's the downside of those earlier ones (230 is 4 cylinder though isn't it?). my 320 does 27 round town and I've seen 32 up the motorway for 200miles.

[Skizzer]

(230 is 4 cylinder though isn't it?)

Is it? Oh, sorry. Still brown though.

[Jim Bell]

4 pot. But you were right with the brown.

[Jim Bell]

Well, the Merc "sold" on ebay and is due to be collected on Thursday.

 

I don't think English is the proposed purchasers first tongue, but he seems quite excited.

 

 

 

 

Ebay being Ebay, and Ebay buyers being Ebay buyers, I'm giving odds of 9/4 that he fails to attend.

[drum]

Yep, best of luck with that.

I can see "General" in his title.

 

I hope he's not a nigerian general waiting for his war pension.

Mr Benn

 

[Jim Bell]

Well. After the above timewaster, she is back up for sale:

Glad to see it was not just me who lolled at the 'Mr Ben'.

Although I was thinking of the rice. #THOMAS

[purplebargeken]

iloverainbowdrops. Really?

[purplebargeken]

I am so bloody wanting this car but I has insufficient pounds. Bugger.

[Guest Lord Sward]

Its a good job General Ben didn't show; you cannot drive past Central now.  Well not from the top of end town at least.  Bloody nightmare around there now.  I tried on Monday night and didn't manage it.

Yeah you can. There's only one lane shut. The short stays been moved to the old Red Star parcels end, but there still access. I drive past every day.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THIS ISSUE OF TRAVELWATCH. I HAVE BEEN YOUR HOST, UNCLE MR BEN.

[Fat_Pirate]

What was the deal with General Ben?  Did it turn out to be the old cheque or Paypal fraud?

Said he was coming. Didnt come.

No scam, just a timewaster. Because Ebay.

[Guest Lord Sward]

The old 'too far North' excuse?

[dugong]

I think Sue Sweeney put him off.

Bhahahahaha!

 

Mr Ben is the user name of somebody on here isn't it?

Wasn't me that dicked about Mr Peas though honest

[Partridge]

There was another Mr Ben! Not mrbenn but "Mr Ben". Confused yet?

[mrbenn]

Ha, think I remember being slightly irked when that username was already taken

[skattrd]

Did this sell?

I've got a mate said he's after a new toy and this sprang to mind.

[Jim Bell]

 

 

Sold.

[inconsistant]

die Hülle ist braun

[nacho man]

Did it go for a grand??? Somebody got a Bargain with a capital B.

[Jim Bell]

It did. It was such a bargain, he drove from Essex, wasnt bothered looking at it or test driving it, paid up and drove home.

 

Hes going to slam it and put 18s on and sell it in London. So no doubt it'll be back for sale at 2k plus reasonably soon.

 

He sold one recently for £2700.

 

Shame, but he had cash money and nobody else even made a derogatory offer.

[Guest Lord Sward]

My last one went to that there Essex.  Again, rocked-up, handed over cash and fucked off.  No hassle.
