Geezer eBays 'bastardised, chaved up Skippy mobile'

The seller of a 2005 Renault Clio has brightened a few days with his novel description of the "proper bastardised, chaved up Skippy mobile". The Renault Clio as seen on eBay The vehicle in question is apparently ideal for "Teenage Drug Dealers/Low Life & Oxygen Thieves" and represents "a fantastic opportunity to increase 3 …

Surely I'm not the only one thinking

It should've been done much better to deserve its own Facebook group. Oh wait...

[Anonymous Coward]

you're

So painful to read...

[Anonymous Coward]

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

safe innit.

[Bilgepipe]

Love it

Every word is the truth.

oh christ, read the Q n A's on the advert !

[Bob Kentridge]

make sure there is at least six of you

I particularly liked the specialised argot, clearly targeted at the intended audience:

"If your driving ... make sure there is six of you ..."

Inspired, innit?

[Stu]

Ahh yeah!

I'm going for that mota, it's a 1.1L, means it has at least 75bhp!

Put it this way, its at least 70 more horses than my 50cc single stroke n I wont luk like no muppet.

f**kin innit.

A facebook group and a mention on El Reg?

I've seen adverts of this type at least 5 times before, and some have been a lot more amusingly done with much worse cars.

[SuperTim]

at last....

A car dealer who tells the truth...

[Anonymous Coward]

I fail to see the connection between this vehicle

and the world's most beloved crime-fighting miming marsupial

@cameron colley

yeah, but this ones got a FB group

[h 6]

What?

"seen dangling a foot outta this"

What? Some people in the UK drive around with a foot sticking out the door?

[EnricoSuarve]

foot danglin' tossers

I'm afraid he's spot on with this observation too. I use to live near a popular chav hangout and yeah, they love to park up and sit all laid back in their motors with one foot hanging out the door.

No it makes no sense to me either but apparently it makes them look hard.

Its very often the same ones that tuck their tracksuit bottoms into their socks init.

[Anonymous Coward]

Only 62k

But he forgot to mention they were all in tight circles using first gear and on the rev limiter.

[Shades]

Has this Clio...

...suddenly become rear wheel drive? Having the front wheels locked over and bouncing off the rev limiter would do little than cause ever increasing circles caused by under-steer. Gentle feathering of the throttle on the other hand, causing lift-off over-steer, is much more fun!

[Anonymous Coward]

But...

It is a fact well known to those who know it well that all cars become rear wheel drive when you wear a fake Burberry baseball cap in reverse.

Actually I've noticed the chavs round here have developed a technique for faking doughnuts in FWD cars. It seems to involve lots of lock and repeated application of a flyoff handbrake.

Tell me about it

Geolocation has destroyed the Internet. I have more than 20 sites now blacklisted for this offence. I'll be adding eBay to that list after seeing this.

[disgruntled yank]

As another Clio said

or so it is alleged, of another bit of English prose, "For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like."

[Daniel Wilkie]

Booooo

Halfway through reading the questions the Ad got removed. R.I.P.

[Anonymous Coward]

Bah

The listing has just been pulled. around 8:40 or so.

[Anonymous Coward]

Item now removed

Looks like ebay have lost their sense of humour (again).

[Anonymous Coward]

Damn it...

Just been removed...E-Bay you fail....

[lukewarmdog]

Pulled

Not in the good way, listing is no longer available on ebay :(

[Anonymous Coward]

Copied before pulled

Since ebay pulled it, try this static copy:

Nice one!

Yeah man, the link works. And the full ad is awesome.

Cool!

Car Dealer

We used to have a used car dealer round here who advertised all his stock in similarly honest terms. The classified section of the local rag was guaranteed to raise a smile.

[PirateSlayer]

Oh dear

Ooooh, aren't Chavs VULGAR!

This 12 year old goth/emo/nob end apparently can't correctly distinguish between "Your" and "You're". Perhaps he needs to buy a baseball cap.

Quite possibly one of the unfunniest adverts I have ever read...didn't all of these jokes get done to death in 1999?

[UncleBob]

Back up on eBay?

Somehow back up on eBay with commentary about dealing with eBay. Have to love the sense of humor in an otherwise dull capitalist environment.
