Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. The thread title, was that supposed to be ironic?

Fair enough Papa, but once in a while, the writing is so beyond the pail, that it's pretty justifiable to have a chuckle at it.

God, some people don't deserve their cars to sell. Am I reading this wrong or does 'ONCE SEEN SOLD AS WELL' mean once you see it it's sold? :S

You actually bothered reading it?

First rule of posts about grammar and spelling - make sure you get it correct yourself. It's "pale", not "pail"; the writing is not distant from an American bucket.

[Justin Cyder]

Yeees, but in context not exactly a hanging offence. Definitely not the worst English on this page.

Quite. Aside from the language problem, £2,300 sounds quite expensive to me for a 12 year old Punto?

BROTE!
