Ahhhh shame - I could have given you my Ex's address!

I would have loved to have heard about his beloved BMW going mysteriously missing!

Keep it up Burr!

Excellent, good work. Is it worthwhile posting Rodders email address so everyone can offer him their cars, what with him being such a profilic importer?

Well I have just had a Nigerian try to buy my laptop, didn't fall for it, but he has cost me £40 and a week of my life trying to sell it.

I was not a happy bunny!

Did a search for nigerians on here (weird the things you think of when your mad!) and found this thread.

Now I can smile again....... Funniest thing I have read in ages.

Yep arseholes arn't they, got this the other day, selling the Scoob.

Hi Friend,

In respect of your car placed on advert on the internet which i have shown interest in. and since you are thw owner i will want you to get back to me with the following details as soon as possible.

1,The Least Price.
2,Latest Pictures of the Car.
3,Why you intend selling it in the fist place.

Payment will be made out to you from my associate in England.

I await your response.

Mike Stephen..



I simply replied 'If your not in this counrty and don't have cash then don't bother e-mailing me back'.

Amazing i haven't had a reply...... Oh yeah, cracking grammer.

Thumbs up

Had one wanting to buy my SE P910i
Wanted it sending to his pastor in Nigeria and wanted to know what the postage would be.

I said the it would be £1,000,000.00 payable immediately. He seemed to loose interest after that, oh that and the insults i added
