    Wasn't these guys was it?

      Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

          I'm in Germany upon occasion. Send me the money and I'll pick it for you, honest.

            That'd be an idea, tell them you fancy driving it back 'coz you want to have a blast on the autobahn.

              Dear David,

              I am very interested in purchasing your car but due to the complex structuring of my financial arrangements will need the following. Please send me the first class airfare and add it on to the price of the car and I will travel to take delivery in person.

              Yours in anticipation

              PL

                What would Cartman do?



                From: [email protected]

                ==============
                Hello xxxxxxx,

                I am glad you are interested in my car.The car is in excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition. I am the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the vehicle.

                I have recently moved to Germany and I brought the car here too.

                The problem is I have the money stocked with this car,right-hand drive it's a little tricky to drive it here.

                As you probably noticed, the price is rather low: £7,400 with shipping and insurance included. But since it's a right hand drive car, not even a dealer will offer me a better price here. The fact that it's still UK registered did not help either.

                Due to amount involved and due the fact I am not located in United Kingdom, I only accept third party transaction mediator.

                You will receive the original invoice, logbook, keys and all the documents to register it into your name. The car will be shipped from here directly to your door.

                Please email me soon if you want to move forward with the purchase.

                Best Regards,
                David

                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  I've just sent him the money, in unmarked notes. I'm really looking forward to the delivery of my new car!


                  Seriously though - I'll be writing to him to lead him on a bit, it'll be fun as well as waste his time.

                    Hey, I live here so get some more information and I can follow it up from here (i.e. an address) and I'll check it out...
