...must have more money than sense!

Just seen this for sale - http://www.gumtree.com/p/other-car-parts-accessories/2008-ford-focus-1.6-zetec-needs-engine-no-mot.-no-tax.-for-spares-or-parts/1088904800

How does anyone ruin a relatively new car so badly!? It's not even 7 years old yet... :o

Ok it's 'only' a petrol Zetec rather than a sought after model, but still.. :blink:

Wasn't anyones on here was it? :P
