Title: some people don't know there own cars!
Post by: search on 09 June 2012, 20:58: came across this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk2-Golf-/251081529325?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a75a017ed#ht_500wt_1202

Post by: Bandit127 on 09 June 2012, 21:13: Wasn't that long ago that taking a picture needed an expensive camera, expensive processing and a degree of skill if you didn't want 22 out of your 24 pictures to be blurry crap.

Now any fool with a phone can take a pic, the web is full of blurry crap as a result - a very good example there. FFS, if you are going to take some pics of a car to sell it on ebay - at least make the effort to make them good ones.

Reply i got was "nope,it's a mk2".

Post by: Luke1981 on 11 June 2012, 20:20: I'll jump on the band wagon also, I just e mailed him saying it is a mk2 ! :grin:

Cut and paste of message-

Hi mate, how much mot/tax is left on the car?
Just so you know the car is a late model mk2 not a mk3.

Thanks

I think we could have some fun with this fool!
