Another strange ebay listing for a Mini...

Can't find it already, so apologies if it is a pea-roast...

"Gotta go as the wife needs a facelift"

"Hello peeps. Last august i bought myself this mini to " play " with cus my mrs wouldn't let me have a motorbike and a twenty year old nymphomaniac [ my first choice ] was totally out of the question so much so that my mrs said if i mentioned it again she would never again threaten to leave me and she would stay forever !!! so now i keep my gob firmly shut and do exactly as she says which brings me swiftly on to the reason for sale. The wife needs, no sorry, wants, erm no i was right the first time " NEEDS " a facelift and guess who's gotta pay for it? "ME"."

Very odd - oh, and as funny as leprosy IMHO. Still, guess we are the suckers that click on it and instead of just a few views the seller gets loads. But honestly, would you buy ANY car from someone that posted an advert like that?

PS: just looked at his feedback to see if he always uses that selling "technique" (nothing else listed sadly) but he certainly likes the phrase "Top class"

It's what all the young "yoofs" who buy and ruin mini's like. This man is cool in their eyes surely.
