That can’t be right. That car’s in Essex, not Scotland!

You do know that you can drive a car don’t you? Say, from one part of a country to another?

I guess this would be better suited for the “ask the” thread - but does the fact that she is in a wheelchair preclude her from owning any other furniture?!

About that oh-so-important school work that prevented the meetup you scheduled…

Damn, this is fun!

Okay. I’m kind of on my way to being convinced that the car at least is legit. Not sure about the actual poster.

Well, yes, the car is legit. I don’t think there was much doubt of that.

I’m falling down here, man, and there’s still a person who believes her??

You do know, little troll, that those things are _free on the internet_, yes?

Also, it took a year from the last time until now, right? I can’t wait to see what happens in another year when she trolls us again and there’s _still_ those who will defend her because she “might just be real”! I’m beginning to believe in fairies and Santa again too.

No, I think she’s on the up and up. How else could she have known the technical specs of that car?

So, what made you decide to try to sell the car down by London instead of near home?

Ok, one of the photos in the auto trader gallery was the same as the one jaymac posted. I think I’m about to have to stand corrected.
