You'd never have thought that add was written by someone called Nigel would you? Nigey B maybe.... "It is well quicker than me' mate Jimall's corsa"

Did anyone see the VX220 Turbo being sold on here by a Gypsy Princess? I think the advert has been removed today.

You can't blame the poor car for its owner's ineptitude.

Mind you, his descriptions don't paint that 'loved vehicle' feeling you want to convey to potential buyers.

That said the car in question lets the side down quite badly nono, and i'd rather make an offer for the 05 micra in the background of pic one!

Cant wait to get into one of my cars and 'dump the clutch' in the morning!driving
