I'm not sure that filling the cylinders on that Nissan with paint thinners is going to do the rest of the engine any favours.

I got bored of reading that Nissan ad after about THE FIFTIETH PARAGRAPH OF CAPITALS.

Presumably you can pop a reverse wheelie in that Acty quite easily if you have a passenger with you.

Probably okay once you've got the theoretical 1100kg of wet sand on the load bed. I've loved these little things ever since the Comic Strip did Mr Jolly Lives Next Door. Except that was a van of course...

I have no idea what that is, but it's hideous and I must own one some day.

The sloping front with lights in it is just awesome.

Aren't Pontiac buddies with Mitsubishi? Likely some obscure Japanese home market car re badged for the States.

I think the seller is confusing Gross Vehicle Weight with payload capacity. I think Ford F250's have a capacity of 1 ton ,which is probably a fully (legally) laden Acty with driver or 1,100kg. A yard of sand especially wet would completely flatten the poor little Honda.

Mr Jolly's neighbours when a builder try's to overload their Honda.

I dont know the guy with the pontiac so am by no means belittling his family bereavement but it would be interesting to know if suicide rates amongst folk who own those appalling 80's yank shite heaps are measurably different from the rate applying to the general motoring public. I suspect it must be higher.

I was reading a thing the other day about how car dealers have started divisions that only sell cars via the internet or call centres. You inspect all the pictures carefully and the dealer makes sure the car is clean and dry, photographed and with a detailed and accurate description. Once everyone is happy the deal is done remotely without the person even sitting in the car.

This guy didn't read that article. Scuffed bumpers, dirty, out of focus pictures of random bits of the car. No details in the advert like mot or service history.

 

D- hand in your camel coat.

 

Shame really as 2 grand for an S500 doesn't look mega expensive

I don't really know what that means, but I think you might be right.
