One man's treasure..........

Hooniverse and CarDomain have had a bit of a laugh about it but I've got to show you this. It's an ad on Craig's List which is the American equivalent of Gumtree.
An unfinished project. A custom job. Here are a few of the vendor's comments....
"duel exhaust"
"aircondition is low on freon"
"to much to list lots of time put into this car"
"have many other projects to do"
"price is firm - have probly twice as much invested"
"has every optional that a car could have"
"has grandam door handles and work great"

    You never did tell us why people are so focused on panel gaps.

    Hey JL. Reminds me of a certain Mk 7 that ended up with a Toyota Corona mid section and doors. Col

    And you never came out and told us who you are. Or did you forget? I don't think so. :)

    It doesn't matter who I am. I could be the Sultan of Brunei, Kevin Rudd or Elle Macpherson but I think I know why you want to know. Blokes trawling the net at 4:18 AM, the time of your most recent post, are generally looking for something unsavoury. Do you enjoy the company of other Gents? Do you like engaging in social intercourse with unknown men in chat rooms? You're right about one thing, I never came out but maybe you could.
    The truth is I'm just an ordinary Joe Blow who has a look in here every day to admire the cars and Mr. Low's work in running the site.

    Come on fellas, give it a break JL - this is the sort of b/s that kills blogs. Re being up at 4 am, I am often up at such times as I need to get to the airport to travel and I always check my emails prior to leaving and often check the blog if my taxi is slow to arrive. And i fly back in the same day at 11.45 so get home at 1 am. Colin

    The thought never occurred to me. But you seem to be up with the drill.

    I didn't know I was hiding. My name is Jim Shanahan. You can do a search on this blog if you like.

    I must have missed something then. I'll leave it here. If you want to pursue it, you can ask John for my email address.

    Jim, I was not the other party to your posts but just a bollyblog follower since John started it. In the 40 years I have been into Bollies we went through periods a couple of times where personal comments such as made against you escalated and damaged the clubs and therefore our hobby. The anonymous poster making b/s comments needs to shut up or identify him or herself or the administrator needs to remove the thread. JL? I since the change in security on these blogs I seem to be unable to post from my ID as I have a different YouTube name to my email name. But I pretty well always sign my comments off. Col or Colin or whatever.:):)

    Hi Col. Trollish behaviour doesn't bother me but I understand your concern so that is why I'm leaving it where it is.

    And I wasn't confusing you with the other guy if that was a concern as well.
    It can get silly quickly can't it?! Cheers
