I don't think I've ever read anything as poorly written as that ad. I can't understand most of it.

[maix27]

That makes me feel a little bit sick.

[smit8361]

Struggling with that one. It hurts my eyes..!!!

[kma]

That was the longest and most retarded sentence i've ever read, or it least it would've been had i bothered to finish reading.

[Shaw Tarse]

It's OK for about 10 words, then starts to decline.

I was ok upto "I have had my car for 8 years"...

English is not the advertiser's first language I would hope.

"...3inch strate frowe scorpeyon exost up ratied gasgets top to bottem rouned 6 munths tax 6 munths mot biger rear spoyler front spliters and side spliters quode light i have a creys just were pasinger windows starts to go up wene dawn dont wont to sell but need cash for any more infow contact me thanks I have got fall service historey from day one up to naw it had a full rebiled just be for i got it..."

[CaptiV8ted]

The .,;' keys must be sh4gged on this dude's keyboard. I can't explain the other problem!

[TWSTEEL]

OH bugger - my six year old grandson's been having fun with my PC again.
Sorry folks it's not really an advert - just him playing with the keyboard.

I actually have no idea what these words mean...

[Strangely Brown]

Adverts like that should be removed from the site. They *really* don't show PH in a good light.

C'mon mods, you know it makes sense. Ditch it and save your readers the pain.

[rhinochopig]

The thing is, I read the ad and my first thought was that the car was probably a snotter, based on nothing more than the standard of English. A shame if the car isn't.

Who would buy a car from an ad like that?

[Munter]

I think he's even spelt his last name wrong....

You'd have to be mad to deal with that person based on the advert.

Alley intercooler copper core radiator in car boost up to 1.8 bar coverterbley bigger dawn pipe from turbo 2 half inch 3inch straight through scorpian exhaust up rated gaskets top to bottom rouned 6 months tax 6 months mot bigger rear spoiler front spliters and side spliters quad light. I have a crease just where the passenger windows starts to go up wene dawn I don't want to sell but I need cash (hopefully for english lessons) for any more information contact me. Thanks. I have got a full service history from day one up to now. It had a full rebuild just before I got it

... But I may be wrong.

[Biker's Nemesis]

Strewth.

[Muze ST]

How do these people live if they can't even spell "now"

[Ordinary Bloke]

I agree the spelling is bad, but given that it has a cquachater maybe it's a bargain at that price???

[Big Al.]

FYI I've asked for the ad to be withdrawn it's a disgrace IMHO and should not have been allowed.
