Does this ad description deserve an award ?

[e72phil]

Have a read of this ad off carsales and enjoy:

I never considered my car a conversation starter, or recvd challenging looks from Ferraris (have you ?).

And of course, aircoolled cars are definitely easier to run ?????




THIS IS A 911 TARGA SLANTNOSE WITH A WIDE BODY... 2.7L.... 5 SPEED (NOT 4).... IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE CAR, THEN THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, LEGENDARY PORSCHE ENGINE, POWER, FEEL, THIS CAR TURNS HEADS EVERYWHERE, ITS A CONVERSATION STARTER...

TARGA ROOF FOR THE SUMMER, ELECTRIC SEATS, WIDE DISH ORIGINAL PORSCHE RIMS, WITH LOW PROFILE TYRES, AND TWO TONE INTERIOR.

THE ENGINE GROWLS LIKE A LION, ONCE YOU HEAR THE ROAR OF THE FLAT 6, YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO STOP.

WIDE BODY DEMANDS THE ROAD, PLUS YOU'LL GET THE CHALLENGING LOOK FROM FERRARI OWNERS (I KNOW THE LOOK, CUZ I GOT IT YESTERDAY)

THIS IS AN EASY TO RUN CAR (AIR COOLED), AND IS NOT HEAVY ON FUEL.

GENUINE INTERESTED BUYERS ONLY, NO TEST RIDERS

'wide Body Demands The Road' - Wtf????

[Stuttgart]

Is he referring to its size I wonder. I thought lions roar.

[SIR70t]

i disagree Phil, so you are saying no one has ever spoken to you about one of your 20 cars asking about what year , what is the engine size... and starting a conversation ????

Cmon - he is quite on the money in some ways just a generation or two behind with a need for further education..

[gulf908]

I am wondering if,after spending (too)much of his/her hard earned $$$,he/she has actually DRIVEN this wonderful monument to Stuttgart's best or does he/she simply sit in it at night going brm,brm to him/her self ??

Cheers,
Dennis.

I guess I should posted a pic of the car as well. Its the worst slant nose conversion you have ever seen.

I just laughed at the awful description and felt it must have been written by one of those persons who translates chinese into such poor english for the instructions you get in any of those "Made in China" cartons of stuff from Bunnings.

Phil I thought the one who got the award for the Ad of the decade was:

"For Sale 1973 911 T/E"

[griffiths_r]

conversation starter because everyone goes 'oh my god, why did you destroy a perfectly good porsche'?!?

'growls like a lion'?!? pleeease.

WIDE BODY DEMANDS THE ROAD, PLUS YOU'LL GET THE CHALLENGING LOOK FROM FERRARI OWNERS (I KNOW THE LOOK, CUZ I GOT IT YESTERDAY)

i think he is mistaken, the 'challenging' look he got was from a poor ferrari owner who was unfortunate enough to get stuck next to him at the lights... "Oh my god, please don't let anyone see me next to this piece of c^&*"

THIS IS AN EASY TO RUN CAR (AIR COOLED), AND IS NOT HEAVY ON FUEL.

I am confused how he thinks it roars like a lion cos he obviously hasn't found the GO pedal if he thinks it isn't heavy on fuel...

Going overseas - yet willing to trade or swap! I think he's stuck with it.

I think the owner has aptly described his vehicle. These terms could, of course, be used to describe many vehicles, some attractive, some utterly revolting.

[alexwebster]

that car has been advertised for ages!

Now John, that really IS a conversation starter ! and you really will get amazing looks from Ferrari drivers.

It's what will have happened if Proton ever buys Porsche.
