Title: Ron Hopeful
Post by: Nickbat on 18 February 2007, 15:17:49

Can't remember where I saw it (possibly the Two Ronnies), but many years ago I saw a spoof classified ad read out on TV which went along the lines of "Wanted one Rolls Royce, will swap matchbox full of assorted buttons. Contact Ron Hopeful....."

In browsing through the car ads today, I found another Ron Hopeful:

I mean, £6995 for that? Look at the age/mileage!

More chance of him getting his asking price than it has of having tiptronic. Either ain't ever gonna happen...
