Needless to say I didn't wade through all this, but if there was an award for typing in a lengthy yet vague descriptions, this would surely take it??

This seller is renowned for his strange rambling descriptions of his car and is the subject of much derision on www.autoshite.com.

His cars rarely sell on ebay, due, I suspect, to readers giving up the will to live about halfway through the listing!
