eBay tat volume 3.

Newly listed Midget, looks like a nice little thing.... called Maggie which is somewhat offputting for me as it reminds me of a MILF I once knew who turned into a fucking nutcase. Your experiences of Maggies may vary. On @eddyramrod's patch 1p start, has reserve. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174767937844?hash=item28b0fb1934:g:h5IAAOSwdfFglDK7

I think I've seen that!  I think it's been fettled at the garage at the end of my street!  Looks tidy enough but I think it's all the money for a Midget.

I'd much rather have the Chevy hearse up the page a bit!

Don't worry, everyone gets a hearse sooner or later.

It's last MOT was in 2012 when it failed with the following:

Small world. I saw St Austell mentioned (my neck of the woods) and then spotted the old barn in the back of the photos, which I can place straight away. Then I noticed the seller's name - he's a previous mate of my brother. 

To be fair, he's massively into his Minis and owns an immaculate late classic shape Cooper. He recently pulled some knackered Minis out of storage and flogged them off cheaply, but this isn't one of them. That MOT fail list from almost a decade ago is enough to make your eyes bleed too. I'd assume the reasons for relisting are bollocks, as mentioned on here. I won't go into any more detail other than whilst he intially appears to be a genuine chap, he's a actually a lying t**t.

Doesn't surprise me. It must take a certain type of person to remove the number plates on a rotten car when selling a car online.

That bonnet fits like a glove. Assuming you were trying to put the glove on your foot.

That Singer Vogue is lovely, and something I would like, but not at that price!  It's way too much, and where is all the interior?

Apparently "refurbished".
