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

That’s unforgivable.

Advertising your cars in the middle of a lake.

I really dislike the infamous Hartley lake

Someone is either ducking down and hiding from shot inside the car or they have very wet shoes.

That's what I take away from that.

It's a remote controlled bridge that lifts.? So is higher when you drive on then get out and lower it for the photos and lift it again walk back on and drive off.... simples

No, it's not a remote control bridge, that's just silly! They hang them from a helicopter until they just touch the water and photoshop out the wires?

I'm sure I read that somewhere, I will see if I can dig out a link.

Right, so it's a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist.

It looks ste and is ste...a lot of expense then for something so horrible.

This has reminded me of the 'using the Mrs to sell the car' thread, which I very much loved. After some googling it seemed it was closed because people kept posting too many NSFW links.


such a shame. that thread was great.

That's a really creepy photo. Like he's just about to drive the Golf to a deserted lay by and do bad things to it.

And then go and do his shift at Costa.

He looks like he's about to questioned by nonce-hunter vigilantesfor turning up to see a 15 year old.

There are 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Similar theme to the Hartley pic at the top of the page:

Any of the big dealer groups that (badly) Photoshop images of their cars onto different backgrounds in a failed attempt to provide an upmarket / posh setting to promote the car & try (well fail) to hide the reality of the dire / boring location of where the car / dealer is actually located

Examples normally feature:

- The car is always well out of scale compared to the luxurious building, golf course, country club, forest, etc, it has been superimposed into
- If it was parked in the way it was, with a real background & not the fake one, it would actually be parked halfway through a wall, hedge, etc.
- Whoever did the image crop, forgot to edit out the tarmac in the photo around the wheels of the car that indicate the car is in fact parked in a disabled bay, or no parking zone, not the posh, country club estate featured in the background

A few examples from a couple of the prolific dealer groups on eBay

Good bit of software as no photoshop needed, just upload the images and they come back without any background cars or Dave from service photobombing.

They all look like they're about to cowp over!

Long gone now but remember an eBay seller who apparently couldn't be bothered to go outside to take photos of his 540i so just took them looking out the front window of their house, window frame, curtains and all.
