    Would anyone actually buy that car just because she owned it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭JackieChan


    I'm surprised she only drives a 316

    There was something on RTE recently that had footage of Samantha Mumba as as a 12 yo girl,she looked much darker back then:confused:

    i know she was never a terribly good singer, but... has it come to this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,013 ✭✭✭✭eirebhoy


    I decided to declare my false interest to see if it actually was her.

    "Hi there,thanks for your interest.There will be more pictures posted in the next day or so.Samantha is currently in LA,however,if she happens to be home when the car is auctioned she will personally hand over the keys.If not,the winning bidder will be collecting the car from her home and a family member will hand over the keys.Any more questions don't hesitate to ask.Thanks."

    That auction is bizarre, it looks like a child put it up.. Could it be a hoax?

    Sure everyone knows black people, over the course of their life turn into white people.In some cases it sets in early. Theres a guy in America called Michael something ,poor guy went to bed one night black and woke up white.

    I see they added a bit about all profits over 28k will go to charity. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭Debbio69


    im just wondering why there is no clear shot of the car??? some sort of wind up i expect
    she aint driving anything better because remember she wasnt that successfull ( apart from her new DunnesStores undies)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Looks fake to me. That's a paparazzi-style photo of her rushing to/from her car, if they were really selling it they would have at least taken an actual picture of the car instead of putting Samantha Mumba's picture up there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭chamlis


    I've never been a fan, but.......she does look good in those undies....

    that and the fact there's a clamper van behind it suggests some opportunist may have snapped a shot of her getting a clamp removed??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    Ah yes, well spotted!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 128 ✭✭smurfbaby


    It definitely is her car, but whether or not she put it for sale I dont know. Would make sense though seeing as she now lives in LA and doesnt really need a car in Dublin

    Gotta Tell You what Samantha Mumba's auctioning on eBay

    (Daily Mail Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)ROCK star Samantha Mumba's career looks to be hitting the skids after she put her black BMW up for a knockdown price on eBay.

    But the Irish singer who reached the top of the charts with Gotta Tell You and Always Come Back To Your Love at the turn of the Millennium hasn't received one bid for the 316i model which has just 19,000 miles on the clock.

    Samantha, whose long promised new album has still to appear in record stores and whose film career has failed to take off, opened the auction at E22,000.

    Similar cars are selling for up to E29,000.

    The Dublin pop star posted a photograph of herself and boyfriend Charles Porter, the rear end of the car and a clamper's van with the advertisement.

    It had been taken outside a Dublin court last September when she was let off driving charges and narrowly missed having the car clamped while she was inside.

    The tagline, which many surfers took as a hoax, read: 'SAMANTHA MUMBA'S BMW 316i! Immaculate condition. 1.8 litre engine. 19,000 miles. 2003 model.

    INCLUDES: tinted windows-beige leather interior, CD player, foglights and alloys.

    Stunning car.' Samatha's spokesman denied that she was putting the car up for sale out of desperation.

    'She is not spending time here anymore,' she said, 'so there is no point having the BMW when she is not here. She sent a text message to a few friends here in Ireland letting them know that it's on sale.

    'Things are going really well for her in LA and she is in great form. She is very happy over there.' The auction will be brought to a close on Saturday after a week on the net.

    I doubt anyone other than a 'proper' photographer...for example,a press photographer, would have a wide angle lens like that was taken with, never mind the Getty Image tag over the pic... Looks like a copyrighted shot, or a stock photo. Why anyone would sell that as a stock photo I wouldn't know though.

    Hoax!
