Ever wondered why "factory paint" is so durable compared to a resprayed car? It's 'cos they "low bake" them in the factory. Some scrote walked the length of my pals silver Audi a few months ago with an orange spraycan in his hand ....it left a wavy orange "go faster stripe"  down the side,my pal mate was gutted. I washed it off with neat celly thinners for him ......he was lucky,if the car had been resprayed at any time it would have been a respray job. T.

 Re: My old Blue Bamboo
PS: I'd be tempted to post every one of these 'questions' on your ad - would be very entertaining Mind you, it might give potential buyers pause to think about the type of 'world' they'd be entering in to with 2CV ownership...

I don't know how some of them are able to use a computer. Not long ago I was waiting in a solicitors reception room when a bloke of around 40 came in. He was asked for details of his vehicle and he said it was a Subaru. The secretary looked up and asked him "How do you spell that"? The bloke then said in two syllables " Soo-BAROO." I tell you I had a real fourth wall moment then as well. Luckily I caught the eye of the other secretary and we both ended up restraining a chuckle. Just like the perpetrator of the orange paint incident above that Terry mentioned, some folks have absolutely no idea. The trouble with the gene pool is that there aren't any bloody lifeguards!

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot 'em. Why don't you watch his future auctions? If he tries to sell the phone again bid enough to win it, then when he sends the invoice write back: "Hi, I'm really sorry but I had an accident last night with the £50.00 note I was going to buy your phone with. It's now all broken. Sorry for the inconvenience."

 Re: My old Blue Bamboo
You think so? The high bidder was from Australia and he's just been outbid by a German. I despair of people I really do.
