... what the **** do people think when they decide to place an ad?

How ****ing difficult is it for ****'s sake to give adequate information. These ****ing people are morons then, agreed?

Quite close to me, this one.

I think I'll risk asking a question or two of the seller!

Tax? MOT? What's all the cr*p about the exhaust?
I thought that English was still taught in our schools....maybe I was wrong!

It's obvious mate, it clearly needs a small exhaust, but not a box. Clears that up perfectley I'd have thought!

As for english, well, no, see these days schools are used only to teach the best ways of avoiding work, getting knocked up by the age of 15 to avoid ever having to go to work, pick pocketing, the best way to roll a spliff, and of course, burglery, mugging 101, and "how to get on in jail"...

Ah! Shame I missed out on such a good education, back in the 'bad old days'!

Mind you, when I was a lad, a 'boy racer' generally had drop handlebars, 15 gears, and two wheels...........and a MUCH quieter exhaust!!

What the hell's a GTS? Do they mean TGS, cos it looks like a Meteor.

I understand some people have problems with reading and writing. What I don't understand is why they don't ask a friend who isn't an illiterate to write the ad for them?

Sometimes the questions people ask and the replies the seller gives just makes me sad to think they tried and even want a BX.

This one I was watching in Tradme is a classic unfortuanately the price is getting outside what I would pay.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 017876.htm

Probably gone by the time you read this so basically its a Light Red (forget the colour name) Citroen BX 16RS Pilot 5spd 1989 fitted with a rather faded GTI interior.

Kilometres: 135,000km

Body: Red, 5 door, Hatchback

Fuel type: Petrol

Engine: 4 cylinder, 1580cc, Manual

History: 3 owners, Imported

Registration expires: Sep 2007

WOF expires: Sep 2007

Stereo description: Factory Original Foldaway

Features: Sunroof

Stunning example of this superb Collector car.

Incredibly straight, original condition.
Electric Sunroof works well.

Just had very thorough service with local Agents.

Drives beautifully
Can be viewed in Auckland
Phone 622 0189 to arrange

Worth preserving to enjoy the unique Citroen style for many years to come

The ask seller questions are pearlers

Q/ does it have adjustable huydrolic suspension?
A/You can find a thorough test and specifications at http://www.citroenz.com/BX/rt16.html thank you

Q/ is it a jap import? if so presume it is a single point injection? Cambelt History? thanks
A/ I believe it is NZ new. REceipts yes.

Q/ sorry nother question -does it have A/C
A/ I believe it is D/C only.

Erm Jap Import? And he says NZ New yet in the description says imported? Ok fair enough its imported but what NZ new means is only used in NZ.

A/C as in Air Conditioning yet clearly it dont from the pictures but me thinks he got confused with electricals as in AC DC

There is another 1600 in metallic Red which I would like unfortuanately would require a expensive ferry trip to check it out.
