Title: Hmmm anyone else see the problem with this ad???
Post by: Dee on June 27, 2008, 03:15:35 pm
Saw this add and thought, nope thats not right, I might be new to this owners club stuff but I know my CS from a standard 185 and that aint no CS.  I did inform him the add was wrong incase it was an honest mistake but he's not changed it so I guess he's hoping he'll get more for it if he advertises it as a CS  >:( >:( >:( ::)

its definitely not a CS just someone like you say trying to fool someone else and make a bit more money.
When i read the advert he uses words like "crackin" and describes it as having "god looks". Adverts like that annoy me they give no info on the car really how do they except to sell.

Maybe he has peeled some of the letters away thinking it looked cooler ;D

ITS A CRAKIN CAR I think he means 'Cracking'  ::)
GOD LOOKS I think he means 'Good'  ::)
SUPERLEGGERA WEEL 'Wheel'maybe? ::)
IT AS ('Has') A MAMO ('Momo')STEERING WEEL ('Wheel')  @ ('And')WRC GEER ('Gear') NOB ('Knob')  alam ('Alarm')

I 'think' that is what he means...OK, so he may genuinely (sp?) be illeterate (sp?) but as has been said...he could have tried bloody spell check and could have tried to give more info.

Ah well... ;D

Not that I'm cynical, however, suppose he has a different user name and put a bid in??????

The following questions hve been asked of the seller........

Hello mate, can you tell me why your Carlos Sainz GT4 has a stock ST185 bonnet? Also, do you have any pics of the engine bay?

Cheers
