'just bloody scrap it' - the eBay 'fuck me, what were they thinking' thread

[Felly Magic]

That Lotus reeks of 'trader' too looking at the others surrounding it. More like paid someone £50 for it scrap, now trying to make a fast buck

While I would think it admirable for someone to think 'I can save that' and then actually do it... not likely is it, really? 

[Pillock]

Save it, as in saving a poorly old dog any more pain?

I love the drawing.

 

It looks like he came up with the idea as a POW in 1942.

That has got to be the funniest post on here ever!

I can fork it onto your trailer

 

I'd like to see him try. I reckon it would crumble into dust if you so much as breathed heavily in its general direction.

How bad did the Fiat have to be for that to be less work than waving a welding torch?

 

Tonight, I will weep gently for that poor X1/9.

Mini Pickup, looks like most of it's been picked up already:

[darkfour]

$500 and no title which basically means the seller can't prove ownership as he's lost the V5 and getting a replacement is both expensive and often not possible.

 

 

 

Car ran when parked 4 yrs. ago.

Much as I like the look of Lotus Elites, this one, and it's yard mates, are just landfill now.

Could you possibly have less fun with £1500 than to buy this?

 

It even looks as if it's had a stroke.

You are bidding on Direct from the UK Ministry of Defence a Citroen Berlingo Multispace Forte...There is no Tax or MOT with this vehicle.

[Aston Martin]

You could turn it into a 'Jolly'

[Stanky]

Is that the fabled* Citroen Berlingo Mehari?

 

Though I notice that the MOD have let the rear tyre go down a bit, otherwise looks great. The drivers door is a great nod to safety, this is PROGRESS.
