That's my car!

As he's hotlinking the images, stealing my bandwidth, the question is, what shall I change the image to?


Hmmmmm

Oh boy - that's a total gift.

I would suggest a shot of your hand, middle finger extended.

Or a graphic saying this seller has stolen images of my car and bandwidth. I leave you to decide what kind of person he is.

I would certainly tell Ebay straight away as it could be a scam.

..and I love his comments about Mr Richards and reporting him to ebay.

I suggest you email him and tell him you have also reported him to ebay for fraudulent advertising. While we all hate timewasters, we also despise people who take without asking. No manners at all.

I would suggest emailing him, stating he has no permission to use your pictures, and in fact, the car he is selling is not the one in the pictures, therefore misdescribed. You can also state you are contacting the fraud dept of ebay.

Unless you come to some arrangement where he pays you for the use of them, and states in his advert the car isn't the one shown.

Nice pics though.

Dont tell him anything, it will only give him the chance to react.

Report him to ebay, and in the meanwhile, put up a an obscene pic with some appropriate text.

Hmmmmm


Have you heard of a website called "rate my poo" or something along those lines. Anyway it is a site where people take pictures of their morning dumps and then submit them for people to score them out of 10. I came across it from a link from FHM and it made me feel quite ill.

A picture of a great big turd probably won't help him sell, but then again it is a Rover.

Being a doctor I'm surprised you didn't find the site professionally interesting....

Being a doctor, I expect he has to deal with enough shit without looking at it on the interweb....

I may be a doctor but I absolutely hate faeces. During my surgical training I actually had to stick my fingers up someones bottom (they were under anaesthetic) and scoop out about 2 weeks worth of sht. It took me a long time to recover from that one! I don't go near the stuff now if I can avoid it, that's what nurses are for.

I've seen that picture before (again from a link off FHM), I think the story goes along the lines of, eastern european weight lifter was attempting to lift a rather heavy weight. When he was squatting he pushed so hard that he prolapsed his rectum. Apparently the poor bugger was stuck in that position for ages as it was too painful to move. Now that's GOT TO HURT!!
