Lotus Esprit Turbo

BuyIt Now Price: 50p

I need to get rid of this car immediately - ideally in the next 2-3 hours before my cheating arsehole husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street.

I am the registered owner and I have the log book. Please only buy if you can pick up tonight.

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

Mental note to self...not to do something like this or the GT40 might be out the door. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

You should have seen the email I got "telling me" to remove "his" email address from my address book, because it was hers??? I hope this boy didn't put everything in his wife's name so that when he got sued they couldn't get everything,,,, cause now he can't

Due diligence gents.....look at the "feedback" listed for "Her" All items sold for 5-10 pence and look at the "buyers" IDs...including "Arseholedj"?
Sounds like a PR stunt for a radio jock.
