This is a nice game!

Orig: "its really good car.engin its 1.2 and has bing chang new ciluch and tiam bill."
Trans: "It is a really good car. Engine is a 1.2 and has been changed: a new clutch and ??? ???."


Orig: "I have lovely fort fiesta for Nelly 2 years the never litem dawn only resin I'm sling be course I bay new car. dan 850000.mille.and car it's cat c damage was repeat.and car have 7 month oumote.and text till end month 31.7...any question u can call me.place read before u bet..."
Trans: "I have a lovely Ford Fiesta for nearly 2 years that never let me down. Only reason I'm selling is because I bought a new car. Done 85000 miles. The car is a Cat C and damage was repaired. Car has 7 months' MOT and taxed until the end of the month, 31.7. Any question, you can call me. Please read before you bet..."

Could part of it be due to funny mobile phone "spelling fixes"?

If anyone can tell me/decode "tiam bill", I would very much appreciate it!

Timing belt?

Well he tried to sell it earlier with this listing, that one is at least comprehensible.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321138212748&clk_rvr_id=490852430192

It didn't sell so he decided to raise the price.

If you read this with a Chinease accent it makes sense!

It's Engrish

Thanks, scimjim, it really looks like timing belt!
Cheers!

The seller should probably get some help writing the ad.

However, I doubt you or I would do much better trying to sell a car in a foreign land.

Far worse are the ads you see by people born and raised in the UK who can barely communicate in their own language!

That's very true, maybe the seller's not as net savvy though.

That's quite literate for Gillingham
