LOL. Nice finds Martin.
I'm sorry I missed the earlier ones, as they've since expired. But have sure seen plenty of doozies over the years too.

....& this was listed by someone in Leeds, UK? That does it, I'm moving abroad, the other countries must all be empty by now...

"CAR WAS THAT YOUR SO FAR BY ME"

When I hear this, I think

♫ "DOE RAY ME FA SO LA TI DOE" ♫

Probably shouldn't laugh, thats taken them a week to write.

Probably what happens when you use a translation program

ie:
original English
I have had this car since new, In this time I have upgraded all the components I could with aluminium. The car shows signs of wear but is in good general condition.

translated to French then back to English:
I had this car since new, At the moment I've updated all the components I could with aluminum. The car shows signs of wear but is in good condition.

translated to German then back to English:
I have this car since new, this time I've upgraded all the components I Could aluminum. The car is showing signs of wear and is in good general-purpose state.

you get the idea andy......

Indeed, but this guy is from Leeds, England, surely you have to have been here a while to be able to open an Ebay (Or bank) account (How did he do that without knowing English?), certainly long enough to learn the native lingo

Ah haha good point!

Predictive Text Strikes Again!



"Ansmann 10T breathless system"

No, that's right, it's an Annsmann (Breathless, like out of breath before you start, but shorter cos it fried before he'd finished typing)

"These system is a sencerless system" - what, all 1 of them?
"Sencerless"? - that'll be why the predictive text is on then...

Final clue, he didn't say "I'm selling this cos it's rubbish & the shop won't gimme my money back"
