I don't know if any of you checked out the feedback comments on the seller, but the latest one is the buyer telling her thanks for the car and to tell her husband thanks for him!
Boy, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he got home.

Oh, and for the curious: at today's exchange rates, 0.50 pounds is approximately $0.91, and yes, that decimal IS in the right place.

Justempty, your emphasis of the caddy being used reminded me of something....
My XH collected full size arcade games. The day I finally got them moved out of the house, I had some friends helping me. XH was being nasty about a whole lot of things, so I was taking pictures of them inside and out before we moved them. He had already been making noise about them possibly being damaged before we'd even moved them!
Anyway, when I opened the back of one of them to take a picture of the inside, I found a pair of underwear (his). Fortunately, they looked like a brand new, unused pair. It was embarrassing anyway, but not as embarrassing as it might have been.
But it makes me wonder about what he did back in that room with those video games.... I guess we should have used gloves when we moved them.
There's a whole lot of really bad jokes that I could make here, but instead I think I'm going to go and try to find a way to scrub that memory from my mind. Yuck!

Saw this about the car on one of the ebay boards this morning... I guess the sale actually went through!
Revenge of the Wife - Lotus Esprit Turbo is Sold on eBay for 90 cents
By Mark O'Neill
AuctionBytes.com
June 24, 2005
A British radio DJ is mourning the loss of his 25,000 pounds ($48,000) Lotus Esprit Turbo car after his outraged wife sold the car on eBay UK for the grand sum of 50 pence (90 US cents)
Hayley Shaw became outraged after hearing her husband, Tim Shaw, interview model Jodie Marsh on his radio show. She became furious with the flirting but when Tim went too far by joking on-air that he would leave his wife and children for Marsh, Hayley completely snapped. She put his very expensive car on eBay with a buy-now-price of 50 pence (90 cents).
In what will go down as one of the greatest acts of marital revenge in history, Mrs Shaw wrote in the auction description : “I need to get rid of this car immediately - ideally in the next 2-3 hours before my cheating husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street.”
She finished with : ”I am the registered owner and I have the log book. Please only buy if you can pick up tonight.”
Needless to say, the car was snapped up immediately by eBay user ID “goddamn7” and Mr Shaw came home to find the driveway empty. He is now the unwilling celebrity on news programmes and the butt of jokes everywhere.
The radio station, Kerrang 105.2, based in Birmingham, said Mr Shaw was taking a few days off to talk things over with his wife.
“I am sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act," said Mrs Shaw to the press. "Maybe it was childish but I had had a few drinks that night and I just thought I would get him back the best way I could. The car is his pride and joy but the idiot put my name on the log book so I just sold it. I didn't care about the money, I just wanted to get him back," she added.
Oh, and to rub salt into the wounds, the buyer has left his positive feedback : “thank you Hayley the car is excellent thank your hubby for me”
