A little tip that I found with eBay and gumtree.

 

Often on eBay especially, the pictures are fairly low res - even when zoomed in. However if you change the URL, you can get the original size.

 

E.g.

http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/z/36kAAOSwKtlWi8SL/$_57.JPG
The $_57 bit signifies the size. For no apparently reason, $_57 appears to be native size

 

Where as, make it $_11, you get:

$_11.JPG

 

Useful sometimes if you see in auction images that are small. Copy the image address out, fiddle with that end bit and then load it up.

 

$_86 seems to be the common maximum default size on gumtree. Sometimes you can get hire res images than what is shown by doing this on there too.

Gumtree uses the same style image links because its owned by eBay and I suspect uses a very similar backend.

I know the rubber bumpers are universally hated in MG circles, but I think they're wrong.

I do really quite like the cute, goofy looking front they give.

Short MOT, needs exhaust and battery.

 

I like these though.

I want some moron to fit a red door to it and try and pass it off as a tribute to a forgotten comedy* drama series for idiots.  The Tweenies or something.  I don't care.

Not eBay, but...

 

THE AGE OF THE SHED PRICED LS430 IS NOW

Okay, bugger all information and can't even do a reg check but it looks clean enough. Fact it says "Selling as gotten a later model"  and "owned for over 10 years" could be it's owned by someone who knows these cars. Potential bargain of the century or money pit. 

 

Sadly Thankfully I don't have the space, otherwise I'd have written a collection thread on it already. :P
