I found out the leads were arcing on my old metro when It started missing by just holding the bonnet to open it. Bastard thing bit me.

On the plus side at least it didn't catch fire

I see what you did there too but this one was a rover metro with a K series 8v 1100.

I was hunting for something 4x4 on ebay, sorted on price and was greeted by this purple monster of a used 4x4 at £285,500.00

Stupid questions are now abundant.

Why does a Roller need 4wd ?
Why is somebody selling such a new prestige car ?
Most importantly, why is it being sold off a driveway on Ebay ?

The sellers other items raise the same questions.
Fingers and thumbs sums indicate the seller has half a million quid of cars under tarps in his back garden.

Horrible fucking car. There's a fella like that round our way, though....Unfeasibly expensively number-plated Bentleys and Mercs jammed down the side of the house, ridiculously over-priced T5 campers etc. It is a crap little bungalow between two big council estates, anybody rocking up with the readies would be forgiven for going "Nah..." and fucking off sharpish but he seems to move stuff....
