Default How to sell a car :D

The car could well be a dog although it's unlikely, but I like the humour in the ad.

Ah, nervous. One of PH's "characters".

I can't make my mind up about him. Sometimes I read what he posts and it does make me smile. Other times, he just irritates me - can't put my finger on why but the "in-joke" nature of a lot of the stuff he posts and the way he seems to consistently and deliberately drag topics in the Porsche forum off topic don't help.

But his ad does make for more interesting reading than most

I particularly liked the following line.....

"...hydra-track (whatever that is, think it might be a differential thing. anyway, whatever it is, it cost a lot of money so I'm assuming its desirable)...."

Ha ha ha!

He's never ever vindictive or antagonistic though, have you noticed? Unlike a few of the more vocal denizens (one particular "pairing" get right on my tits with their superiority complexes and vicious jibes).
