Nothing to do with Ferrari, but i thought i would share this with you just so we can have a laugh at someone elses expense.

I am interested in all sorts of daft old cars and something i am recently recovering from; is a fetish for the variomatic DAf 33. I have 2: one good and one knackered anyway i haven't used them and decided to sell them, this bloke came to see them and offered me £ 800 for the 2. with the intention of coming back today to buy them.

i then got this email

Hello

It would appear that I have to speak to my wife when I get home, I have just spoken on the phone to her and the word "divorce" was peppered, along with a range of expletives throughout the conversation.

Bare with me just a few hours

which i thought was a joke, and today i emailed him and said

Hi

I just wondered how you are getting along.

I have 2 more people that are interested. What shall I tell them?

and this is the genuine reply i have just received off him now

Hello

Believe it or not I'm actually getting divorced now. I'm currently living on my sisters settee and I have to go to the solicitors on Monday do unfortunately, and I do have to apologise profusely, I'm going to have to let you down.

If any of the other people who are interested might want a Daf 46 then one might be for sale very soon!

I probably shouldn't laugh!

What i have currently are 2 Military sizes that bought in from the States in a container full of other classic tyres. They are very good value

I don't normally get involved with military tyres, but there was some space left in my container

To be up front, I am contacting you from Longstone Tyres.

the reason i have joined this forum is because i have ended up with a whole heap of bar grip Jeep tyres. As a result we have them available at excellent prices

Here is a link to the 600X16 tyre http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/600x16-speedway-ndt.html

Here are the 700X16 tyres http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/700x16-speedway-ndt.html

I realize this is a blatant commercial post, but i hope you are glad to be informed of a bargain when it is available.

Anyway in an attempt to soften the blow of my post i hope you find this safety film fun [video=youtube;fxx1Zn-NaW8]

Hi Team

I am contacting you from Longstone Tyres, I hope you have heard of us. I am hoping to be able to be helpful to anyone with tyre issues.

I am aware that it isn't cricket to come on a forum like this and just spam with commercial sales pitches. I believe it is fair to say i might sale close to the wind on this front. however on the majority of forums i post on people are keen to know about what is available to them and a helpful informative post is useful.

I won't b e underhanded and i will be honest.
