His English is a million times better than my Greek. Seems harsh to be picking him up on his grammar and spelling. Unless we're just picking on anybody who's not British?
What is there to suggest English isn't his first language? The unorthodox spelling of words such as "lovlay" and "perfeck" do not suggest to me this is someone whose first language isn't English.

I didn't see that, just saw Morden England. I'm not on Facebook so maybe I don't see as much as users.

Sure I’ll offend people here but... I really hate range rovers.

Just the image of them, unless they’re brand new to a year old they’re on this steep downhill slope of misery. Starts of brand new & standard then a year or two old a ‘YouTuber’ Type gets hold of one and sticks a wrap on & ‘Khan’ or ‘urban’ tat all over it, then it gets sold and someone else re-wraps it, sold again to a drug dealer, finally to end up passing through the local auctions every week with various faults eventually to be sold to someone who can’t afford to run it.

Almost feel sorry for the things.

Can you tell I've woken up with a headache!

And no matter how many fancy photos you take, it still looks utterly terrible.

It actually makes it worse as it seems the seller is more concerned with the location of the photos rather than the actual car.

Reminds me of an Evoque, with the same wrap, lately joined by a Merc, in the same wrap, sitting outside a house near me.

Even my mate, a skinny Yam Yam who wears muscle vests in the pub, thinks they look st.

Looks like someone’s jumped on a cardboard box and then 3D scanned it to make that bumper.

I know this was posted back in 2018 but I've only just come across it. Holy sh*t. That is an absolute monstrosity! Almost certainly a boat awning over the back. Is that a greenhouse frame clad in attic floorboards?

It really has to be one of the worst things with 4 wheels I've ever seen.

Yeah that's pretty horrendous too! Keeps to the period BL fashion of car colours inspired by bodily fluids and expulsions.

In fact, it too is strangely boat like. People should really stop making cars inspired by boats. Even the OEMs can't do it. Ssangyong Rhodius being a case in point.

I quote: “it has a tube chassis then marina plywood, glad in aluminium, rear subframe and all brakes etc. Were new when laid up, the hood was professionally made at a boatyard never leaks it has zips in doors‘.

Home built indeed.
