Part time dealer ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/amaggi-uk/...mplete=1&rt=nc

:laugh: great ad :yawn: certainly a lot of bollocks in there intended to impress n00bs and chavs. Looks like he's read too many ads of a similar BS level and believed the hype.

I've just been out bid, put £54 on it.

Traction control, is that the clutch I wonder!!!

Not a patch on this baby!

Astra front bumper.... why oh why.. oh and the interior

Private listing as well, open invite for shill bidding when required.

That is comedy.:no:

Can't see any steering wheel controls
No shots of this fancy air intake
Rear door seal moved about a bit
Pretty sure that I see a wonder handle for the rear window
axis seats not alcantara (albeit blue axis)
18inch alloys?
Privacy glass?
And those stripes *throws up*

Painted latch in the door shut ?.

HT leads?
Mk2 has direct coil pack on all cylinders doesn't it?

Quick clear front screen? Bet it is only from the aircon.

What are Carbon composite filters?

Yes, all mk2's and later mk1 have no ht leads.

As well as the carbon composite filters, whats a k7 throttle body.

Thats what caught my eye.

I always thought traction control came from your right foot.

Acording to the seller the oil and fuel filters have carbon fibre to lubricate the fuel and oil!

Acording to K&N a carbon fibre composite filter is a filter with a body made from carbon fibre.

I think the seller has heard to many dyson hand held hoover ads.

Carbon fibre to lubricate the fuel and oil !!!, mmm I see :laugh:

Simple.....

Graphite = carbon
Graphite = slippy (between layers)
Carbon filter = slippy fuel!

Or.....

Oil = carbon
Oil = slippy
Carbon = lubricant

Or or......

Fuel = carbon
Carbon filter adds carbon
Carbon filter adds more fuel to the fuel
Car goes faster
Carbon filter adds slippyness
Fuel moves faster
Car moves faster!
Fast fuel + more fuel in the fuel = even fasterer!

IT'S FOOLPROOF!
IT'S FUELPROOF!!!!


(Disclaimer: May or may not be actually based on actual science)

So explain slippery carbon brake discs :wave:

Ahh now see they're carbon-ceramic. It's different.
They use some fandangled machineymajig to make the carbon like diamonds which don't slip.
Then this makes the brakes not slip.
That's why supercars need them.
So they don't slip.

Familiar with the expression "when in a hole, stop Digging" ?

It's almost so bad of an explanation it sounds like truth :)
I'm gonna sell my ZR 1.4 with that wording!
Plus:

So power
Many torque
Such fast.

Then I'll get loads of bids

Don't forget to mention the k7 throttle body, and that it's a factory limited edition special.

Is that from a 7 cylinder k-series?

Yes, stands to reason, fit a big enough throttle body for 7 cylinders to a 6 cylinder engine, more air, more fuel, more torques, more powa.
