Noticed this as well. Annoyingly, they also email you. So I got one titled:
"Still interested in a Celica GT4 Black not Impreza etc"
No
I looked at it purely out of interest on a thread. I'm not going to f
king buy one, so f
k off. 
Internet cookies FTW. "Still interested in a Celica GT4 Black not Impreza etc"

It's less annoying than the blue rectangle obscuring the photos telling you how many people are viewing it per hour.
I find the serving suggestions at the bottom throw up some interesting stuff that I'd otherwise not have seen.
Judging by some of the adverts on eBay that HRV and Civic adverts look quite good. The vendors even managed to use photos of the cars they're selling in daylight.

I think that Ebay actually store the data on their own servers, because when I've looked at stuff at home, and then gone to work and logged into Ebay at work, suddenly I get the same familiar suggestions, so it can't be cookies.
I think most sites do this they keep every click/search on a server database so whenever you log in you get a 'personalised' web page.iloveboost said:

Next year the F1 cars will have four times as much torque. Don't road cars have that already? They're called diesels.
It's also less annoying than the advertising boxes that spring up based on a product you once looked at, six years ago. For example, I once bought the wife some of the mysterious underwear stuff women wear to bluff their way through life in, and now whenever I'm on certain sites with ad banners it comes up with ads for women's undercrackers
Which is a bit awkward to explain to the monster-in-law, for example. (yes, I realise no-one believes a word of this)
...I'm just dreading the day cookies recognise things like "Two Girls One Cup" and tailor your ad choices accordingly
