Woohoo, mines turbocharged too then

Looks a genuine sale just the owner hasn't a clue

He must work for the Met, apparently next summer is going to be hot!

I always thought the M version had all the extras as standard.
You M owners have been kidding us all along, now we know what they are really like.... you think they would have a bigger engine than 1.9.. but at least this M was the modern shape......

Lots of models were decorated with a few ///M accessories, so quite a few people get confused. I think it's a genuine sale. The turbo badge could have been done by a prior owner or for a joke.

I agree its probably a genuine sale but I thought the days of people sticking Halfords TURBO badges on non turbo cars were long gone

maybe its been on for years

You're getting old mate. Young people and cars are just the same s we were and our parents before us. They drive too fast, seem oblivious to other road users and they decorate their cards with all sorts of awful trinkets that make you cringe. If they didn't then halfrauds would go out of business.

Hi folks. I e-mailed the guy and told him his problems with the advert, he was apologetic and said it was all on the car when he bought it so was not sure the proper terms for the vehicle, he has taken it off-line

and will re-advertise with the right wording.

I can remember cutting the front bumper down on my Hillman Avenger so I could fit a square number plate and Cibie Oscars,... then there were the fake sheepskin headrests that fitted over the seat backs, the rear extra fogs lights I bolted on and wired to the brake lights, and the stick-on Raydot heated rear window....
I always wanted sidepipes, and brackets on the rear springs to increase the ride height, but chickened out..

and that was just last week....

maybe this should be a thread on its own, "Our first mods"

I remember putting spacers on the rear wheels of my first mini so they stuck outside the body work. What a muppet I must have looked

I remember putting playing cards in the spokes of my bicycle wheels.

My first mod:

I painted my little pedal tractor black and stuck gold John Player Special stickers on it.

pingu, I bet you asked father Christmas for a Lotus and he did not get it.

If you had asked for a Lambo, I could understand the confusion.
