happy_renting Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Only if yo uwere a sad git who kept it in its original box! I always find it odd that these 'mint' toys are so valuable. Surely the only reason they are mint and in a box is becausethey were sh*t toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPin Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Only if yo uwere a sad git who kept it in its original box! I am that sad! I sold a "Goldfinger Aston Martin" in original box a couple of years back! I've had it since primary school! Nearly a hundred quid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 My uncle was easily conned! He also bought a Hillman Imp that the dealer told him was 'Stingray'! It's hardly fish-shaped, is it? My imaginary uncle was sold a Corvette Stingray, on the grounds that is was economical, and safe round corners! He only went out for a battery for his Morris Oxford! I think this runs in the family! I went shopping for guitar strings once, and came back with a piano! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPV crash has already happened! For some reason I thought these were popular, and because they all got broken, very few good ones left!

MrPin Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I heard she was into watersports too. Stingray, had a pretty good sense of humour with jokes that were too good for children, but I don't think they pulled that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Zodiac (Fireball XL5, for you youngsters!) I'm always amused at cars that sound like pr0n mags! Ford did both an Escort and a Fiesta, and there was the Mini Mayfair!

Bootsox Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Re the SPV, is this the one where the driver faced rearwards and steered via TV screens with forward facing cameras? Challenge anyone to do that without chucking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenge anyone to do that without chucking up! I imagine the vehicle would be filled with multi coloured "Spectrum" vomit worse than a Glasgow minicab on a Sunday morning!
