Automotive idiot of the week?

Any value in having an 'automotive idot of the week' nomination?

 

If so I'm going to vote for this berk...

I actually like the car, not too overdone, nice colour and arguably the best alloy wheels ever made. But read the advert text :roll:

 

Who could possibly be 'serious' when faced with type like that?

It's times like this where I feel the need to get some credit on my spare 'phone and send him random text messages at 3.00am on a Sunday.

I sent that Calibra owner a message, which I hope will take him 2 hours to decipher:

That is THE best excuse EVER for a car not having an MOT.

doesnt the v6 have the rare six speed box?

 

if so, that was a cheap car

I think only the C20LETs may have had the six speed boxes. Still a cheap car if only for the engine.

Yeah, only C20LET cars had the F28's, this had the higher geared F25. I just bought a V6 engine for 200 quid which is really cheap, this was a bargain.

Highlight of this one, for me, was the listing of 'Angel Eyes' as 'Safety Feature'. Closely followed by the passenger door issue. Top numpty-ism.

 

It is almost in legible English though. Almost.

That Calibra seems to have gone for weigh in money due to a spider being there. I wish I`d known about it, a cheap Calibra PLUS a nice big spider to take home and get up to mischief with - offering it to grandma in a crisp packet, putting it in dad`s coat pocket so it goes onto him next time he puts it on, things like that.
