Picture 1 of 11

1989 VAUXHALL CARLTON GSI 3000 5 SPEED MANUAL RESTORATION PROJECT NO RESERVE | eBay

Says it's a manual but dash showing an auto gearbox setting display.

That was ended because of errors in the listing. It had no bids at starting price of £800. However.......................................

BIN at £2000. I know we are in a time of high inflation but Fuck I blame the Tories for this one too.

Reason for sale is a new one on me...  :???:

Presumably they were trailing a cable over a shared walkway, or out of a first floor flat window and the neighbours got the hump and complained to the landlords.

They're actually not a terrible car according to several reviews I read. As noted above, its a Mitsubishi.

I'm sure that had bids, plus he did say he wanted two grand for it. Still fuck the Tories though!

Fiat Marea 155 HLX for £900, only pic appears to be a stock photo:

https://www.gumtree.com/p/fiat/fiat-marea-saloon-2000-manual-1998-cc-4-doors/1449519533

I wanted to buy this but after having a conversation with the seller even though it says in the ad ‘long mot’ it actually expired last month. Looking at the history it has had far to many tickles with a sparkly stick so I’m out!

’Actual’ car pics

Yet these issues are batted away whenever the EV fanbois are on the rampage. 

The issues with charging has nothing to do with the car. It's idiots who buy them unable to charge them. I'll bet that if they'd spoken to the person that owns the parking area, a charger could be fitted - and if not, the seller got the wrong car.

However, many people run EVs while only using public infrastructure. I only charge at home. Both, or a combination is perfectly possible.

Each to their own, but buy the wrong car and you only have yourself to blame.

Cool, I'll remind you of that when we're being forced into  EVs ten years down the line.

No one's forcing anyone into EVs. There will be second hand Dino powered machines for decades thanks to the cost of EVs, and you CAN charge an EV - just maybe not at home.
