Cracking.

When I sold my Lightweight recently, I sent a load of photos to a guy who was interested, and accidentally sent a photo of the wife, in her fluffy dressing gown, on the couch holding the cat, which, as cats do, had elected to sleep upside down with paws pointing in different directions.

Much hilarity ensued and I agreed to throw the wife in, but the cat was available by separate negotiation.

Presuming the cat come with the purchase you could skin it and use its fur to cover the brown interior.

Seems like a homage to the Tom Hartley adverts. Sadly the end result makes it look like it’s been abandoned in a lake full of algae.

This starts off fine, and then just gets weird... the boot one...

That’s just odd full stop. Why?

They are probably hoping that a load of old men will talk about it and that might just get them a sale.

The main body of the ad states: 'Emaculate condition'.

Is that the condition we are supposed be in after looking the photos?

This is definitely not the strangest, but why not take them out of the boot before taking the photos? Why do they even have Christmas decorations in their boot?

It's the new measurement standard. If the manufacturers quote 700 litres people cant picture it. "A reindeer face, a small tree and an illuminated sleigh" is easy to visualise.

That’ll be a hell of a dent in the bonnet. I’ll not be buying that, thank you very much.

That’s unforgivable.

I know , people have been killed for less.

Funny, I saw that yesterday - I guess it's not surprising that two people on pistonheads were looking at manual Aston Martins... !

Can't figure it out at all, I guessed that pic was next on their camera roll after taking some pics of the car and acidentally included it in the upload? Bizarre XD

[Ian Geary]

Not a website, but still applies I think.

Not so much what is in the picture, but what isn't!




(Ps not my advert etc)

Move over to the dark side.

[mradam]

Its got the "Night Pack" on the options. I would add all the ad photos are taken in the complete dark, not just this one.

Not the weirdest, just the laziest.

[Dapster]

For sale, cheap driveway, or maybe a shonky garage. Not quite sure. At least the seller has prepped the car beautifully inside and out.

How are people so bad at taking photos? Its not that hard to take a decent pic!

Maybe it's had a rear end shunt

Missing from ad:

"we need to sell this car in order to pay our electricity bill, thank you."

I'm after an ageing Continental, preferably sold by a friend of the owner on eBay rather than the owner themselves, but am concerned that they throw big bills. Ah great, this puts my mind at ease...

excellent free ringing kit there, top marks. Bonus points for full company name, vat and reg number, along with bank details too!

Not a car, but this popped up whilst i was searching MG parts on eBay:



Seller goes to all the effort of scrubbing out the background & turning it white (badly), leaves part of the silencer in shot, deletes the rest, but still leaves what appears to be a pets food / drinking dish in shot. Then as the next uploaded photo - see below - exactly the same photo as before just unedited with the grass, pet dish, socks, etc, all in shot
