Re: The ebay thread
I do love the way registrations get advertised as “unique” as if that’s something special and not EXACTLY THE POINT OF A REGISTRATION.

"Relisting because the winning bidder failed to make contact! Nice one!
Sensible offers accepted, don't take the piss though, you know you're getting a steal here!
I am selling Bruce, my Ford Mondeo Ghia X because its a piece if shit and I don't like it.
I don't have much to say really about the car that's nice, bar for it's got 3 quarters of a tank of diesel, its M.O.T runs out in June and there's two good tyres on the back.
If retro is your thing then look no further than Bruce! Forget about Bluetooth, this is installed with a fully functioning parrot! The interior is to die for, cream leather seats and tortoise shell trims. A 6 CD multichanger people! It's got heated seats on the passenger seat, but in summer you can change the settings to cool, which actually works on both sides. Actually!
So Bruce has had a remap, which works when it runs right, which at the moment is few and far between. The turbo is on it's way out, sometimes when you get in the car is like it's in limp mode and sometimes it drives fine... I say fine flippantly. It smokes worse than Bob Marley and Cheech and Chong and smells like Dot Cotton's handbag. But the power pins you back in your seat (I over exaggerate a lot). But I've been driving it like this for the past month, keeps you on your toes! The passenger door doesn't open from the inside but I've got all the parts to do that, think it's had a knock with the previous owner. I may not have been very spacially aware at times which shows in the body work of the vehicle. Basically I like reversing in to things *awkward silence. It's bumped and scratched here and there, I've tried to show the worst ones in the pics.
I'm not going to lie to you and say it's got a really good service history blah blah blah, it needs two new tyres...badly, one looks to have a bit of a gash in it. I don't want to spend any money getting some new ones. It has had new brake pipes on the back because something went on the brakes and when the lovely mechanic who sold it me "sorted it" he seemed to miss that and sent me out the garage with no brakes. I did spend a hundred quid on it to get it through it's M.O.T. Christ knows what on. Something underneath it is hanging off, like a piece of plastic, or my sanity... who knows.
You're welcome to come and have a look at him, but I don't want no tyre knickers or window lickers racking up. He's been a good work horse, I've had my dogs in there, the occasional bit of roadkill, the kids eat in there, a few sheep in the boot and I smoke like a chimney. I highly recommend you come to view before bidding. It is what it is.
You're bidding to buy, not to come and look at the beast. Pick up to be arranged within 7 days, cash on collection. Sold as seen."

That's a lot of booooooost for the front wheels to handle.speedingfine wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:49 pm https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1330136
Pricey but nice
It looks like a lovely way to travel fast (as long as there's not too many corners).

Re: The ebay thread
I hadn't seen those wheels before. Nice
Re: The ebay thread
It looks very nicely put together, but.... that much for a copy??

Re: The ebay thread
A copy that might look the part but is missing something important- another 4 cylinders
Re: The ebay thread
And probably 100+ horsies too.

I agree with all the comments; this is similar money but doesn't lack oomph https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultima-Can-a ... SwRVdgeJ0t
