Why have you not answered questions 1 & 2. I think "Will it fit in me Corsa" is a perfectly acceptable question and deserves an
appropriate answer. 
Something like "Only if it has low profile tyres"
Or ask him if it's a convertible.
You could have hours of fun........

No, it's not just you. I'm selling a load of mini tuning bits all saying local pick up is preferred. Every other question is about postage
to foreign countries. One guy wants me to send a mini cylinder head to Malaysia!! According to Royal Mail, it will cost £160!!

Showed my wife this one, she reckons hunrt might just be "unit", as in bedroom unit which I think does make sense of what this illiterate
was trying to say. May be its a really bad case of fat fingers. Any one with a better idea, please post as I just couldn't make any kind of
sense of it at all and I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks.

My best guess, looking at the keyboard and factoring in fat fingers and the intelligence of a small pork pie is........
unit
Could be, might just as easily be cloud or dumpling though.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

hunrt = unit
Pronnounced 'hoon-art' in a Vicky Pollard accent?
EDIT - even slower!

I think (hope) you are dealing with someone whose first language is not English.

spelling is crap but grammar, the tricky bit for foreigners is spot on.

I hate Selling on Ebay, or the internet in general. But its gets the widest audience. I sold my Celica, listed everything, terms etc. The amount of
muppets asking for a drive? can I deliver? What discount for cash? (like I accept credit cards or postal orders) Would I swap for a chavved up Corsa /
Saxo. How fast does it go? Will I sell just the wheels? I've learnt just to ignore the idiots now.

One thing that I have learned is not to limit myself to UK-only - with the value of the pound at the moment, you can make excellent money selling to
bidders in Eurozone countries - and most of them are happy to pay for the postage too - £30 to send a pair of shoes to Italy might seem exorbitant,
but its bugger all to someone paid in Euros.
