Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec Ghia Mint Green (Possibly works underwater but this is unconfirmed)

If Trebor made car paint then I imagine it would look something like the colour of this car, it’s a pale minty green. I will include some green Trebor mints in the sale so that you can compare for yourself. Please specify if you would prefer Extra Strong mints instead, they are white (unlike the colour of this car) but I personally prefer them even if I do hold them partially responsible for the decay in one of my teeth.

I took this car in part exchange along with some cash for another car I was selling. I didn’t really want it but I wanted the car I had less and since I am a valeter by trade I saw potential in this.

The engine is sound as can be, the gearbox is a dream, it steers like it’s on rails and all of the features and electricals work as designed. It’s the Ghia model (what does ghia even mean?) so has a bunch of extras such as heated front windscreen, air con, electrically adjustable front seats and an upgraded dash.

Inside its quite lovely, dark and mysterious but shiny and clean. I would feel quite happy to host a business conference inside it. Refreshments could be served through one of the electrically operated windows. Drinks could be placed in 1 of the 2 available cup holders. If your business meeting was for more than 2 people then some of the participants may have to hold their drinks, they might whinge a bit because of this but just remind them that in some parts of the world they haven’t even invented drinks yet.

Nothing nasty to report about the inside of the car, no rips or scuffs, its very tidy actually. I have been driving this minty little number around for a few days now and I was surprised how nice it is to drive and have opted to drive this rather than my Mondeo. OMG I am such a liar, I just remembered that the passenger side door handle is a bit scruffy, that’s all though.

It’s a Ford Focus from 2001 which is exactly 1 year after 2000 when the world didn’t end and VCRs continued to work. I didn’t do much that New Years eve, not because I was afraid an airplane would fall out of the sky and land on me, I just fancied a quiet night in with my girlfriend of that time, I say girl’friend, she was nearly 40 but a proper sporty little thing, bit ugly but perky where it counted. I myself am no beauty box so us both being a bit ugly I never had and insecurities that she would run off with my best friend lol. But she did about a year later! He left his wife, went a bit mad, got sectioned then released, turned out to be an alcoholic and now has pancreatitis, all is well that ends well.

The alloys on this MINT GREEN (it’s not blue or black or red or any other colour, deal with the fact that its mint green to avoid disappointment. If you thought maybe it was silver but the sunshine in the photos made it look a bit green you were wrong) are in genuinely good condition. I gave them a quick tickle with an alloy cleaning brush but they need a better clean than that but since I am quite busy trying to get in to the girl next doors knickers I can’t be bothered. The plastics are all nice and black, the tyres are all insanely named cheap brands but have good tread on them. I valeted the car so it’s looking good and smells divine – you might want to lick it but I recommend against this since some of the cleaning products I use are bad for tongues.

The windows are unbroken glass, have no chips and critically are transparent unlike bricks which are not often used as a window making material, they are tinted at the back so if you take that lass from the chippy up the hills you can do what you like in the back and won’t be seen. Unless someone looks through the windscreen and then the games up and the pillar box is down.

It’s done 107K miles which is much further than I can run and I wouldn’t even attempt to run that far not even for comic relief or children in need unless there was a cash incentive then I would consider it and work out some way to cheat. It would be an elaborate cheat including most likely a helicopter and several disguises, somewhere I have a dress up banana suit which I have only used once so I would probably try to get some more use out of it since I think it cost me about £60 a few years back.

The exterior of the car is generally in pretty good condition, there is some surface rust under the rear wheel arches (not that bad) and its had a small ding on the rear which has been tarted up a bit and doesn’t look that bad. There are a couple of places (arches, rear bumper) that have been resprayed in places probably due to surface rust in the past. I say resprayed, it actually looks like it’s been done by a drunken blind clown at night hanging upside down from a moving giraffe. Honestly, Ghandi could have done a better job slapping paint on with his flip flops. Estimated cost to have this resprayed by someone that isn’t mentally incapacitated is about £150-200 but who knows, maybe you aren’t the picky type and just want a motor that runs well, is comfy and proper posh on the inside.

It’s got MOT and Tax until July and I really can’t see any reason why it won’t fly through its next MOT (apart from the fact that cars don’t fly, be cool if they did)

Aside from the couple of dodgy resprayed bits this is a very decent car that runs beautifully but is green.



Any inspection, test drive, pretend flight is more than welcome. If you don’t want to drive it you can just sit in the driver’s seat and I can make engines noises but there will be an additional fee for this. I can also make airplane noises my Airbus A380 is very impressive, helicopters are harder but I can try if that is your thing.

You can see from the pictures that overall this is a bang tidy motor and you have my word it drives well. If this doesn’t sell I really couldn’t care less, I will keep driving it around not pulling birds. I don’t need to sell it but if you want it you can buy it.

Don’t forget its fathers day soon! What do you buy the dad who has everything? Well if he has a crazy a$$ large desk you could buy him a full scale replica ford focus 1.8 zetec ghia paperweight. If you know someone like Doc Brown for the back to the future trilogy maybe they could make you a remote control lie the one he had for the DeLorean DMC-12 which would be way awesome!



Update, Tuesday 12th April: < I like this colour I just pretended to get off with myself in the back seats, I had someone confirm that they could see me. This unfortunately means the windows are only lightly tinted and it isn't privacy glass. Also worth mentioning that this car runs on petrol which can be bought at 'petrol stations', if you are unfamiliar with these then ask someone for directions to a place that sells over priced cold sausage rolls.

I can confirm that the petrol low light works, it just came on.

Also I just took delivery of a docking station for my laptop, the box it came in is surplus to requirements as I have plenty of other empty boxes. I will include this box in the sale at no extra cost. Finally for today, I think a pound coin fell out of my Bermuda shorts and has lodged itself somewhere under the drivers seat, if I don't find it before the car sells you can have this too. Dont be disappointed if its only 50p though, it sounded like a pound but could have been a 50.

On 12-Apr-11 at 12:09:28 BST, seller added the following information:
Last night I bought a multi-pack of ready made bovril drinks, just sipping at one now. I want to share the warmth so will leave one of my bovril drinks in one of the 2 cup holders for the winning bidder. You can choose which holder, left or right, but you must supply your own hot water.

On 12-Apr-11 at 13:24:01 BST, seller added the following information:
Sorry, the free cardboard box is no longer available. I used it to make a Flux Capacitor. I have now installed this in the Mint Green Ford Focus. It is untested and not covered in anyway by Ford warranty. When I go to buy a sausage roll later I will put some more petrol in and then zip her up to 88mph. If successful I will go back in time to catch the moron that touched up the arches and paint him mint green then ask him how he likes it! I will also go to McDonalds in the early 90's when they still served root beer and stock up. I miss their root beer.

On 12-Apr-11 at 14:10:26 BST, seller added the following information:
The reserve is Ssssssshhh! £800 or if you prefer to look at it another way, thats 800 items from a pound shop.

On 12-Apr-11 at 23:16:56 BST, seller added the following information:
Bad news, my attempts at time travel have been brought to an ugly full stop. I just remembered that the speed limit in th UK is 70mph so I cant reach 88mph. Probably just as well, have you seen Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure? Napoleon was a bit of a handful and I dont have the time to baby sit him. Good news though, my pal was let off with a caution after his dog attempted to hump an old lady that collapsed recently. He was trying to get her in the recovery position and Floyd (the dog) thought it was a game. Someone didnt see the funny side and reported the incident to the police.


Did I mention this car has a leather steering wheel? Probably not suitable for vegetarians - not sure? I dont speak vegetarian so cant ask one.
On 13-Apr-11 at 08:27:55 BST, seller added the following information:
It is with great sadness that this morning I must inform you that the mint green ford focus has been poo'd on by a bird. I have had a quick look around the neighbourhood and there was 2-3 birds that looked a bit guilty, I have issued them with verbal warnings but on this occasion I am not prepared to perform DNA testing.


I will remove the offending poo splash with my high power jet wash, I know its high power because I once shot my friend in his marble collection and I swear he had tears in his eyes. I once hid 2 sachets of brown sauce in his wallet and then forgot about it for at least 2 months until he called me from work saying words that would kill a nun instantly. The sachets had finally burst making it look like he had gone to the toilet in his pants, he wasn't allowed to go home and change so spent the whole day soiled.

Speaking of contortion-ism, I confirm I can not wrap my leg around the entire circumference of the time machine ford focus, I hope this does not affect the final auction price.

Dear pistolfeet,

Hola,

I was wondering if you had pictures of the 'girl next door' and if they will be supplied upon viewing of the motor vehicle, if not will she be around for me to spy on?

Much love

- iphad

Dear iphad,

Thank you for taking the time to ask about my untested mint green time machine ford focus. I can neither confirm or deny the existence of said photographs however my mum has an old cooking book which has drawings of happy looking 1940s women mixing things in bowls. If I can smuggle a page or two out of her house then I could supply these instead. Do you like home made sponge cake or trifle most? Miss Cookies is my favorite, she has a cheeky smile.

I have added a diagram to photobucket which details my future plans for the Mint Green Ford Focus if it fails to sell. They are not protected by any patents so you may copy them if you wish but I advise against doing these modifications to a Fiat Uno because they get very rusty and could not sustain the additional weight, and lets face it, Fiat Unos are a bit rubbish.

This is how I would imagine it be to go shark fishing in a mint green ford focus:




On 13-Apr-11 at 14:35:26 BST, seller added the following information:
There is a bee stuck under my summer house and its driving me nuts buzzing around. I tried coaxing it out with a bit of cheese and a jam scone but its having none of it. Ford Focus's (especially mint green ones) have an inbuilt feature to prevent getting trapped under a summer house, the feature is known to us specialists in the mint green car sales industry as 'Size', rest assured that you will not be wasting precious scones and French cheeses attempting to coax your car out from under summer houses or other shedery structures in order to get to work on time.


I recently bought a hand zapper for swatting flies, the electric kind! Not electric flies, that would be silly but an electric zapper. The temptation to try it out on myself was too much, it hurt much like I imagine giving birth to a hybrid cactus/food processor would. The reflex action from the zap was enough for me to slap myself on the eyeball. I can now exercise restraint when wishing to try the zapper on myself.
On 13-Apr-11 at 18:25:11 BST, seller added the following information:
My sincere apologies, I should have made this clear from the very beginning to avoid any doubt in your minds. I am pleased to confirm that you can easily fit 3 tins of Heinz Baked beans and 1 bottle of cheap aftershave on the dashboard. None of these are included in the sale of the mint green ford focus but I will allow you a spray of the aftershave, if I think you have sprayed more than is fair I will have to rub my face against you to reclaim some of the aftershave. I have not been able to test (due to laziness on my behalf) if an expensive bottle of aftershave would squeeze on to the dash but I suspect not.

Good news! The Focus is still driving awesome, I just took it for a spin in to town to pay a bill that I really didnt want to pay. I popped in to Dominos to try one of there sub sandwiches, the bloke said it would take 10 mins he must be new because it only took 5 mins but I didn't say anything. Sorry but I ate it in the car which now smells a bit of peperoni but I can fix that, it did that thing that pizzas do you know when its really hot but you try and nibble at it anyway then a bit of cheese and a piece of peperoni slides out and sticks to your chin. Its left a red burn on my chin that looks a bit like the sun emerging from behind a pyramid, its quite arty really. I used my free can of coke to try and cool the burn a bit, that was useless. Any way the sub was a let down unlike the focus. Why haven't you bid yet?

Q: I think I might be in love with you. Is this going to be a problem? 15-Apr-11
A: Only if you like to fondle gerbils

Q: Hi pistolfeet, are your feet really like pistols and if so does that mean that they discharge bullets if the safety is off? This question has been perplexing me all afternoon? Also how do you get shoes to fit? My shoes all fit me quite well except the pink ones, they pinch a little. 15-Apr-11
A: I bet you have a pretty bum, I too have a pretty bum but it can sometimes be smelly. I am restricted by French law from talking about my feet in detail. Have you ever pumped? I once pumped when making out with a woman, I tried to kiss her louder to cover it up but I am sure she knew.

Q: Hello pistolfeet, I have just read the add for the 2001 FORD FOCUS GHIA 1.8 Zetec Clean Interior... thank you very much for making laugh so much! Onto something more serious, I would like to buy the drawings you have done of the car they are truly fantastic! please contact me to let me know if you would like to sell the drawings, I completely understand if you wish to keep them but worth a try aye! Cheers teddy83339 P.S. Do you have facebook/youtube profiles? If so could you give me the name so I can add you to read more fantastic comedy! 15-Apr-11
A: Hello Teddy, I hope you are a cuddly as I imagine. I have had a lot of interest in my drawings, make me an offer before they go to auction. Regards Pistolfeet

Q: would you be interesting in running for prime minister in the next election? 15-Apr-11

A: Certainly not but I do have several ideas that would return our kingdom to greatness.

Q: this is the funniest ebay sale ive ever scean. you are one day going to be famous and a legend. therefore i would like to buy all your drawings that have featured in your add. id also like to buy the 3 cans of heinz beans too . look forward to hearing your reply . 14-Apr-11
A: All of this is possible. Did you like battle cat, I prefer cringer really.

Q: Hello there, I am very intresting in purchasing this car, do you have a full service history? And is it possible that you may sell the flux capacitor seperately? My mate just drove his Delorean to 88mph and went back in time. The rest is history. Cheers. 14-Apr-11
A: An angry rhino ate the car, it is no longer for sale.

Q: This is the best listing...... Ever! 14-Apr-11
A: Your extra full stops are very sexy, where did you buy them?

Q: Is this a genuine sale? I got a link off the babycentre website! Your amazingly funny there's no way you valet cars for a living! From Sabrina (owner of depressing grey car covered in bird sh@t as it's parked under a tree) 14-Apr-11
A: I am the best damn valeter in the history of the universe, well pretty good, my clients are happy. I could make you want to drive your depressing grey car again without the use of bribes or hypnotism. You are not a chicken.

Q: What is the air speed velocity of a fully laden european swallow? also do you have a facebook page? 14-Apr-11
A: Roughly the same speed as a shrubbery falling from 100ft. I am frightened about giving out my face book page since you might see my youtube videos.

Q: Would u sell the banana suit? 14-Apr-11
A: NEVER, how dare you, love you really! Remember Banana Man? My mate had the theme tune as a ring tone on his mobile, it was funny at first but he liked it so much he wouldn't answer the phone until it had played most of the way through. We don't talk much now but we both still like Banana Man.

Q: Nice write up you have there about the car.....but you forgot to mention anything about the cv boots, axles, drives and most importantly the boot catch.....they do tend to go on these models....also the fuel pump is also a dodgy component. My main question is if I was to use this car in a theoretical robbery of one of the bollards outside of Old Trafford football stadium, how fast would she drive away.....say if I 'robbed' this bollard at 3pm what time would I arrive in Bolton? 14-Apr-11
A: Did we go to school together? Were you the kid that picked lockers with a paper clip? I still want my rubber back, the one that smelled like raspberries.

Q: I used to have a minty green Ford Focus called Thicky. It was severely injured and was put down. Have you ever tried licking the inside of the windscreen? It tastes like lemon sherbet. 14-Apr-11
A: I once found a frog in my pond that was huge, like it had been blown up with a straw. My vet put it down for free. I thought that was kind, he didn't refund my petrol expenses though. I dont even like frogs, they are sneaky and have funny noses.

Q: Will you marry me? 14-Apr-11
A: Do you need a visa?

Q: i notice that the delivery date "varies". If I were the winning bidder of the minty green beauty plus flux capacitator, could you deliver on the 14th of june 2006, just before 3pm? 14-Apr-11
A: Hello, its kind of you to email me regarding my classic mint green with central locking ford focus. In order for me to reach the all important 88mph I would need to go by ferry to reach the German autobahn - would you be able to pay the additional fees? Homeboy, sorry, always wanted to say that.

Q: I had a Fiat Uno once. It was a Tuesday. 14-Apr-11
A: Yes, I was afraid of this. Are you okay now?

Q: Can I employ you to follow me around and provide me with lolz 24/7? You can wear a minty green suit.... 14-Apr-11
A: It would be quite expensive, I eat a lot of crisps and curry. Do you have cable television?

Q: Please please tell me u have got other items to list on here as i find this so amusing and entertaining that when it ends i dont feel my life could be the same...please dont be the one responsible for causing me this sadness and go raid ur cupboards for more exciting items to sell!! 14-Apr-11
A: I was really sad when they ended Battlestar Galactica, how dare they, they have no idea how much effort I put in downloading them. I am a bit distracted at the moment, I just went for a pee and it was more powerful than I expected and I wet the bottom of my jumper.

Q: If I were to purchase the minty goddess and successfully integrate the flux capacitor (thus creating a working time machine) and as a consequence found myself trapped in a dangerous point in the past (I'm thinking dinosaurs and/or similar), what protection does the car offer? And also would there be some opportunity of a refund? 14-Apr-11
A: Death is almost a certainty, I am not sure how effective pepper spray is against dinosaurs but I could include some of the cheap stuff from tesco an a nerf gun. If you lick the ends of the nerf bullets and dip them in pepper and aim for the eyes you could be on to a decent escape.

Q: Hi, would you be interested in a PX for full salad bar privileges at any branch of Harvester for one whole year + £200 cash your way? I'll throw in a compromising picture of Burt and Ernie from Sesame Street. 14-Apr-11
A: I remember that special night with Burt, Ernie and the rubber duck. I am not a fan of friction burns.

Q: With regards to the bee....if you manage nto free him could you ist him on ebay for me to try and buy.....I saved a bee from a spiders web the other day and in thanks for his newly gained freedom he tried to sting me....ungrateful get.......so I would like your bee to experiment with please...thanks. 14-Apr-11
A: Bees, you really cant trust them. I once tried to catch one bee to sting another bee with in the hope it would go back and explain to all other bees that it was unkind to sting people, I was 7 and got stung.

Q: Hi pistolfeet, I want this car , mainly for the colour. Personally i think the earlier version of the focus was shall we say , poop ! but hey , in mint green ?? oh yes . So my question.... Can you give me the winning lottery numbers for saturday so that i may place a bid to win this fabulous machine , Cheers FingersBev 14-Apr-11
A: fingersbev, a name that delights my imagination. It would be wrong of me to supply such details but so long as you keep it quiet try 01-08-17-21-33-45. My name is pistoltoes, is your imagination delighted also?

Q: Gotta say your add is class wish I had the money to buy the car just to come and meet ya haha Ya add is on vvoc vauxhall vectra owners club and every1 is buzzin lad Keep up the good work Respect 14-Apr-11
A: It has been lovely speaking to so many lovely people except one that
was a bit mean. So Jackthewelshman where are you from? If I had to guess I would say Portugal but only because tonights countries beginning with the letter 'P' is my preferred choice.

Q: Hello, very informative advert, I did have a quick scan of it. Could you just confirm the colour of it for me though, are you sure it's green? Also, I hear no mention of breaks, does it come with breaks? It's my first car purchase, I've heard they are an important feature. Cheers. 14-Apr-11
A: Whilst this mint green ford focus does come equipped with very good brakes I personally think they are over rated and that a rolling stop is much better.

Q: I have studied ol' minty carefully and have come to realise that the reason you didn't succeed in time travel is that the flux capacitor was mounted in an incorrect place. The good news is that all you have to do is mount it at the rear of the vehicle you wish to time travel in and it should work. ( even a rusty fait uno ). The bad news (and I'm sorry a stranger is breaking this to you) is that as you mounted said devise at the side of your chosen vehicle you have probably travel sideways in time and are now in a parrell world. As I live in this world (I think) I would like to welcome you and hope you stay. If you choose to leave then stick the flux capacitor on the drivers side, repeat the journey and hope you end up back in your original world. Good luck in your chosen future. 14-Apr-11
A: Are you from the Time Travel board? I have told you a 1000 times, the cheque is in the post!

Q: in the photo's it shows the car comes with standard Focus alloys yet the later drawings you include show some 4 spokes, assuming these are aftermarket... which alloys will the car come with? thanks 14-Apr-11
A: Ah you are referring to my 'show' alloys, Michael insists these look better than the standard ones but I think he is full of monkey pi$$. I have never tasted Monkey Pi$$ but I have always assumed it tastes like coconut and pineapple.

Q: I have shown images of what you described as a Mint Green Ford Focus to an expert colourologist who previously worked at Dulux (until he was caught in bed with the Dulux dog and was forced to resign his position as Chief Colourologist). He assures me that it is actually Minted Glory 6 with a hint of Dublin Bay 5. If you do not correct this I will be forced to report you to the Advertising Standards Agency. 14-Apr-11
A: I always knew that dog was a bit saucy. Does your friend accept back handers?

Q: Are you really Keith lemon? You are quite genius and wasting your talent writing on eBay but please sell more so we can all read. 14-Apr-11
A: cometsbsg, that is also my middle name. I once knew a bloke called Keith, he worth those giant NHS glasses even though they had stopped making them 20 years previously. The arms of the glasses pointed right out to the sides to accommodate the increased size of his head.

Q: Hi there. I have severe disabilities and a lot of problems with mobility so what I am wondering is - which orthopeadic service would you reccomend? Also, would the car help me pull birds? Even a ginger chav one with freckles and a brace would do... The car isn't located in Thorntree or Saltergill is it? I have been banned from them for being a pubic nuisance... 14-Apr-11
A: Kind poster, I am pleased to inform you that the car (a mint green ford focus) is situated in a quiet suburb free of chavs. Sadly I can also confirm that this car does not help pull birds but I can include a tow rope if this would help gain your interest. I can't recommend and orthopeadic service due to an ongoing court case.

Q: As someone who is fluent in vegetarian, I can confirm that a leather steering wheel is unfortunately not safe to have the glorious veggie V emblazoned across it. That said, if any meat eater fancies eating the steering wheel, I would probably suggest that they should make their way to the petrol station instead for one of the sausage rolls you mentioned. Over-priced they may be, but better that than eat a steering wheel. I hope that this information helps in the sale of the vehicle. (PS - would I be right in assuming that the picture with battle cat is also just a potential idea, or are you now including Battle Cat in the sale? If you can include Battle Cat this would render the item far more interesting to me as a purchase. I can't remember the name of his simpering alter-ego. Can you?) 14-Apr-11
A: Battle Cat's alter ego Cringer refuses to allow the sale to go ahead. I once ate a pot noodle in my car and as usual some missed my mouth and landed partly on my leg and jolly rancher but also on the steering wheel - I licked it off. It was curry flavour.

Q: Hi I quite like the colour of the car would it be possible for you to remove it and let me purchase just the colour? 14-Apr-11
A: Thats a very good idea, it would make a lovely bathroom tile colour. Unfortunately the paint goes with the car in this auction I couldn't bare to separate them, not so young.

Q: I once met an old guy, outside a pub,smoking a cigarette, who said that you're not safe til you're ten years dead. He was old and is probably safely dead by now... Is your Focus safe and, if so, just how safe? Surely it can't be proper, ten years dead safe, unless you're telling porkies about the success of your time travel? God Bless, 14-Apr-11
A: Have you ever seen the film Flatliners - they were dead but not safe. The mint green ford focus has airbags.

Q: Are you really shure it is minty green, and not silver with the sun on it? 14-Apr-11
A: My trebor colour comparison chart says Minty Green

Q: Your my fookin hero, i actually p1ssed myself 14-Apr-11
A: You might be interested in my other items "Non-Minted Tena Pants for Men" If you buy my car I will also sing the song from the bodyform advert, I know they both have different uses but they all mingle in the same playground.

Q: Hi M8 I really like your car and I have decided to buy it of you 4 £250 innit, even though you been got a bid of 820 my money is better and anyway they won't probably even both to turn up and you'll have to go with that bird from down the road who hasn't even got real teeth. 14-Apr-11
A: I like you saturdaygig, reading your email was like being tickled below with the wispy bits off a corn on the cob.

Q: Personally this car is worth a lot of money because after this internet success your eBay ID will be passed about and all of your future adds will gain appreciation for their descriptions. You are an absolute legend dude... I have never laughed so much while still trying to read on... to laugh more. I hope your Focus sells because its actually a good example for a car of that age. 14-Apr-11
A: I accept you offer of £1million US Pounds, please deliver the money in unmarked potato sacks to the address I am sending you.

Q: genius... 14-Apr-11
A: I think you will find genius is spelled Jeanius! Not so clever after all are we Mr darren6tv4

Q: hey, does your flux capacitor, flux? 14-Apr-11
A: It is currently in a state of non flux, I am having difficulty extracting the 1.21 gigawatts from the car lighter socket.

Q: Dear seller, if I test drive your mint green Ford Focus can I make pretend fighter jet noises with my mouth? 14-Apr-11
A: Only if I can play Maverick. Goose was a loser!

Q: Hi, does the vehicle come bundled with the sense of humour and ingenious originality? Yours truly, Ricky Gervais. 14-Apr-11
A: Thank you for showing interest in my humour filled ingenious and original mint green ford focus. P.S I loved you in The Office

Q: Meow ? 14-Apr-11
A: oo oo I love these games, are you a cauliflower?

Q: mate i dont even car about the minty green love machine but may i take this moment to congratulate you on making a grow man piss himself we may never meet **** we may never even talk but i love you like life itself you can make love to my sister in my eyes you are a LEGEND and i salute you i bid you farewell i like the cut of your jib very much 14-Apr-11
A: I chose laminate flooring for my bathroom for that very reason, you know how sometimes you need a wee before you go shopping but cant be bothered, then all the way round you are busting but just want to get the shopping finished, so you finally get in and dash for the toilet but the pressure is too high in mr pinky pipe and you and up hitting everything! Laminate, its the future of incontinence.

Q: Your a legend mate, before I come view your focus how hot on a scale of 1-10 is your neighbour? 14-Apr-11
A: I like you too LUKElotsofnumbers believe me I would like to shove a thermometer under her arm pit to find out. But she is very intelligent and would see through my stupid attempt to touch her arm pit in that way.

Q: Best listing I've ever read! 14-Apr-11
A: I liked the one about the wetsuit, its almost like he borrowed my mint green focus went forward in time and stole my sense of humour. Obviously a bit of car envy going on there.

Q: Hi mate thankyou for making a boring day very happy , great read and I hope you sell the focus for lots of cash. You need your own website to write whatever comes to mind and I would happily donate one to you cos your wit is destined to make you famous. 14-Apr-11
A: May you be blessed with tickles, giggles and mars bars all day long. Thank you

Q: Thank you for your prompt reply. Because of your speedy answer I will let you off the fact you have called me sir when I am actually a female of the species and therefore more deadly than the male. That is, if Space are to be believed. 14-Apr-11
A: Beg your pardon maaam! I bet if you had an issue with facial hair growth that you wouldnt have seen the funny side of it though. Dont let this put you off mint green focus's

Q: If this does not make the news at Ten there is something wrong!!... wicked! 14-Apr-11
A: Hello Taylormade-debs. A taylor (tailor) once touched me in a place that shouldn't be touched, the apples blew in the wind.

Q: Will you take 1k cash? 14-Apr-11
A: Dear lotsofnumbersROB, I am obliged to allow this auction to run its course. Thank you for your offer.

Q: Lovely looking car you have for sale. The location really brings out the best in its colour. Which brings me to my question. Where is the car located? You, yourself, and no doubt Michael, I think that's his name, reside in Middlesbrough according to the ad on ebay. However, I have doubts as to whether the car is there too as I don't recall seeing anywhere that green up there. Where would the car be posted from if I was the winning bidder? 14-Apr-11
A: Dear sir, since I have yet to gain my 'Safety with bubble wrap' certificate I am afraid you will have to collect the vehicle from Middlesbrough where it is I assure you, firmly located.

Q: Hi, is your boot big enough to fit a grots worh of repack boxes in? plus do you know anyone who would like to swap a harry von turbo draft an work with a bunch of civvies in uniform!!?? 14-Apr-11
A: Your words scare me. Please can we be friends?

Q: Hi, I have read your description and I noticed that you made a vague reference to the colour being a shade of green, however when I look through the photos it would seem to me that the car is silver and maybe it's just the reflection of the trees that make it look green. Could you be mistaken? 14-Apr-11
A: Quite the opposite, the trees are actually silver and reflecting the awesome minty greeness of my 2001 Ford Focus Ghia?!

Q: i promise to make you excessive amounts of beans on toast and to pretend i don't know what the neighbors are talking about when they say you're sitting in all of their cars pretending to have your way with yourself while your friend takes photos. 14-Apr-11
A: He isn't my friend any more because I put too much about him on an ebay auction for a mint green ford focus, he made me promise not to mention the time his dog was dreaming and had a sex accident on his arm. Thats why dogs should sleep in their own beds.

Q: I myself am also allergic to the feline population but you have mentioned that one of your close friends is a cheetah. I'm just wondering if you are allergic to Michael as well? If not I think I may consider finding my very own cheetah to befriend because I hate being the only one of my friends that doesn't have a cat! Are they quite loyal companions? 14-Apr-11
A: Michael is treated with mole urine which lessens my allergic reaction to him. To be quite frank with you Michael is a proper cunning little b@$$tard, he isnt loyal at all. Do not buy a Cheetah.

Q: Hi Pistolfleet. Your advert will go down in history - so funny! If only more ebay adverts were like this... Good luck with the sale. 14-Apr-11
A: I remember I laughed in a history class when I heard that King Harold was shot in the eye with an arrow, I had to write one hundred times "History is not funny, it is important" whilst I was doing this my mates kept passing me notes saying "Ha-Ha" or "arrow" when I inevitably laughed again I was made to stand outside and think about King Harold, I thought he was stupid for not ducking.

Q: this is the funniest thing i have ever read. it must of taken you a long time to think of it all, everyone i have showed they just laugh, hope it sells:) Anna 14-Apr-11
A: I am replying to you from my mobile conferencing and business suite, your email had been read and filed in the glove box for future consideration. We (Pistolfeet and I) thank you for your kind words but would like to remind you that vehicles of this calibre and colour should have no problem selling at all. (Michael wrote that last bit, I dont think it will sell even though its dirty little mincer of a motor)

Q: Just wanted to say that this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. You sir are a genius. I have sent this to my Dad who is at Heathrow Airport working, I'm sure it will be doing the rounds soon. It's also on a clan website I am with under Tilly's Cantina if you wanna see comments. www.warriornation.net Pure gold mate. 14-Apr-11
A: Thank you street_bullet if that is even your real name! You really shouldn't distract your dad at work, especially if he is a pilot? I dont want my ebay auction recorded on the black box data recorder. I have always wondered why they dont make airplanes out of the same material as the black boxes or even out of dolls heads because both always survive impact although I do find charred dolls heads a bit creepy. Thank you again for your email, if you and your clan are planning a picnic this summer I would love to come, is there a dress code?

Q: Hi! I'm enjoying the sale of your minty number a lot! Just one quick question, as you've stated, it's not advised to lick the interior of the mint ford focus, as your cleaning products are not tongue friendly. However, if I was to lick the exterior, would this provide me with some minty tastefullness? All the best with the sale 13-Apr-11
A: oh tef1981 its like we have know each other for minutes, me with my mint green focus, you with your personal licking questions. You really would expect the focus to taste minty, have you ever put Mentos in to a bottle of coke? I have but it was a disappointing climax much like that night with Krista from Belgium but in my defense it was my first time and cheap vodka has its downfalls. I would say if you are really rich then pay some one to do a lick test first or just lick it a little bit. If you like the taste of polish (not the people from poland) maybe this car is for you.

Q: Unfortunately I recently purchased a doom gloom green Chrysler Neon or I could have possibly been encouraged to purchase your mint green temptress. It came with some optional extras such as dents and odd colour paint work. Though it has a cd player! I dont know whether its capable of time travel but it gets me to work and back in 30 minutes. My question is should I leave my wife she gets on my nerves. 13-Apr-11
A: Good evening, I quite like your name DJ_KELLOGS2003 but I think I would be scared to meet you even if it was at a soft play area with a free bouncy castle. Me and my mate Miles (no joke) once had a Chrysler Neon as a loan car through work. We literally thrashed the goolies off it, I hope it isnt the one you have now, it was a 2.0ltr automatic if it is I am really sorry and will ask Miles if he is sorry too. Being a bit older now we would drive it with more respect but would probably still pump in it if the need was there. Dont feel bad about the time travel thing I have it on good authority that chrysler neons lack the suspension required for reentry in to normal time. Dont you find the boot lid is made out of the same metal used to make yorkshire pudding trays? I might take this opportunity to point out that women are precious, sexy, annoying, irritating but still sexy and precious and best of all have boobies with n!pples on them. Treat her like a queen and she will stop getting on your nerves and you WILL benefit in the long run. Unless she is really ugly and picks her bum, then drive her in to the countryside and leave her there.

Q: Mate you are actually hillerious, thanks so much you have had me in tears reading this ebay listing and my family !! please keep me updated with other things you sell 13-Apr-11
A: Hi, if I get backing from a venture capital consortium I will soon be manufacturing and selling wellies for frogs on ebay (they will have frog logos and waterproof bows on the side) so I hope very much that you come back and buy some. You sound like the type of person that likes to keep their family happy, ford focus's (especially mint green ones) are well know for making families happy. If you are going to continue to cry though I suggest seeking medical advice, you may be suffering from depression, ebay is very depressing because it makes you want to spend money. As a kid I used to find Rod, Jane and Freddy very depressing - Do you think they were all involved in 'that' way or just chums?

Q: Hey From Boro, your advert just made me lmao. Hope it sells. 13-Apr-11
A: Hey right back at you mpr214h (which is my personal favourite ebay name ever), I think I might have seen you around and remember thinking to myself wow he looks buff, wish I could work out and look that good but you know what, he would look so much cooler driving a mint green ford focus. On a serious note, I hope your a$$ grows back. I used to have ROFL syndrome which didn't work in my favour on a visit to glass recycling plant with comedian Rob Brydon.
: hi i need to check the colour and if white i may be interested, if not then please view the below attachment for your enjoyment, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS6I-dEO9W8 13-Apr-11
A: Regarding your inquiry as to the colour of my MINT green ford focus I can confirm it is white. Well I say white but I really mean magnolia because for some reason that colour emulsion is cheaper in B&Q. Your attachment provided me with roughly 7 seconds of loud chuckling. It reminded me of a time when I was drunk at a party, stripped naked and clipped a pager to my pop-up pirate. It was funny until my parents found the photographs, then it was about 15% less funny.

Q: I love the colour but my poor aged Mother is allergic to the colour green. As I have to transport her to the local outpatients clinic on a weekly basis I have to ask do you have it in a slightly less green colour? Perhaps a blue or black? I know that the colour green would be handy for sneaking up on animals when taking the car on safari but it's all down to my mother. 13-Apr-11
A: Thank you fatboy_1972 for showing a huge interest in my slightly more green than desired ford focus. Firstly am sorry to hear about your mother, I have one of those too so can sympathize. This car has never to my knowledge been on safari but I can include some black spray paint should you wish to disguise it as a Zebra for example. As a boy my mother would take me to peoples houses that had cats even though she knew I was allergic, by the end of the night I would be a snotty, sneezing mess - the kind of sneezes that leave candle sticks running down over your lip in to your mouth, snot is not quite as bad to the taste as you might expect. I suggest you get tough with your mother - greens are good for you. If that doesn't work, give her to charity.

Q: trying a little too hard to be funny and OMFG SO RANDUM LOL!!111!!! PENGUIN OF DOOOOM!!!! LOL ROFL COPTER!!! CHEESE!!!!! omfglol rofl but seriously, stop trying so hard 13-Apr-11
A: Thank you for the interest you have shown in my mint green ford focus (which is Penguin of doom friendly) I like text speak too, I once got a text from a wrong number which read "Hi, we still on for lunch? Alan" and I replied "Sure, you you bring the baby oil" Since I never turned up for the lunch I have no idea if Alan took any baby oil with him or not - I hate not knowing, dont you? Thank you for your kind words, I will stop trying so hard. Michael and I wish you and your Pengiun of Doom all the best for 2013

Q: Hi Pistolfeet, you deserve to double the reserve for the writing along - I cried several times, which a week and half away from getting married, made a nice change in reasons to be crying (just kidding, love you baby xx) thank you! So to business.. I love your minty number and the potential for mayhem and roadside antics it possesses.. However, I am now living in a country where they drive (very insanely) on the wrong side of the (very insanely surfaced) road; Bulgaria to be specific. Not to be put off I note that you seem pretty skilled in areas of design, gaffer tape, dolphin training, brown sauce placement, and sausage rolls, so could I ask if you'd consider ripping the steering column / rack et al out and moving it a bit over to the left? Hope you'll agree this is a better option than traveling back in time to the point when some prat in europe decided they wanted to do 'it' differently and killing them, though am open to other options.. How does that sound? 13-Apr-11
A: Your kind words regarding my special and not much loved green focus are a deep warmth to me and my cheetah Michael. Michael says he has been to Bulgaria and they make lovely sandwiches, I personally have not been to Bulgaria but that is to do with my fear of places beginning with the letter "B". A quick glance at the process for exporting a vehicle to Bulgaria left me wondering if I had gotten all incontinent in my privates pouch - I hadn't, it was just a little sweat that had rolled down there most likely caused by the fear of Bulgaria. Michael and I agree that on this occasion we won't be able to assist you. I am sorry to hear about the roads there, I recommend self levelling jelly to resolve the issue, Michael says Jelly and custard but he would because he is a greedy cheetah.

Q: hi i like your car, but too be honest with you i am more interested in your pictures so i can have them supersized and have them on my side of house as a bill board thanx 13-Apr-11
A: I will speak to the intergalactic rule lined paper art commission on your behalf. I can have the document rights in your name by tomorrow but the financial grant board wont dish out the funds for house fitting until you prove beavers cant spell Pokemon.

Q: With all due respect for the greatness of your mint green Ford Focus, but it's not the car I want to buy... it's you. May we begin a discussion on this? 13-Apr-11
A: Thank you for not being interested in my mint green ford focus, I regret to inform you that I personally do not come with ABS as standard, a heated front windscreen, a conference area or a CD player. My bodywork is far superior to that of the ford focus being relatively unblemished, has no rust or bad paint jobs but I also have no air bags. I feel you would be disappointed. I once went on a date with a girl and fell down a hill when the swing rope snapped, I was only 11 and admit to crying. It was this life lesson that has taught me the colour of a car is not embarrassing, falling down a hill is embarrassing

Q: This hasn't been covered in the auction, but the photographs also include trees, shrubs, houses, the ground, the sky and at one point, your knee. Are these all included in the auction? 13-Apr-11
A: Dear ebay friend, thank you for your question regarding my bird poo splashed but then removed mint green coloured Ford Focus from the year 2001. That was the year I attempted to shorten a shoe lace with a hand saw and removed a substantial amount of flesh from my arm. The flesh has now grown back, as will the shrubs, trees and grass if you remove then from the car park that I took the pictures in. My knee is still required for several positions I like to perform, I have no rights to the houses, ground or sky but if you have suitable transport containers I have no issue with them being removed, I suspect however that these will not grow back. I cant stop eating today, so far I have had biscuits, more buscuits, some sandwiches and then some chocolate biscuits. I have have several cups of coffee and 2 Bovrils. Do you like hot chocolate? I think its proper disgusting but my mate Will likes it, he once coffed with some in his mouth and it flew out of his nose on to his mothers new carpet. I did a little wee that day.

Q: Wot colour is it? 13-Apr-11
A: Color vision is the capacity of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect, emit, or transmit. The nervous system derives color by comparing the responses to light from the several types of cone photoreceptors in the eye. These cone photoreceptors are sensitive to different portions of the visible spectrum. For humans, the visible spectrum ranges approximately from 380 to 740 nm, and there are normally three types of cones. The visible range and number of cone types differ between species. Mammals in general have color vision of a limited type, and are usually red-green color-blind, with only two types of cones. Humans, some primates, and some marsupials see an extended range of colors, but only by comparison with other mammals. Most non-mammalian vertebrate species see color at least as well as humans, and many species of birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, as well as some invertebrates, have more than three cone types and probably superior color vision to humans. A 'red' apple does not emit red light.[1] Rather, it simply absorbs all the frequencies of visible light shining on it except for a group of frequencies that is perceived as red, which are reflected. An apple is perceived to be red only because the human eye can distinguish between different wavelengths. The advantage of color, which is a quality constructed by the visual brain and not a property of objects as such, is the better discrimination of surfaces allowed by this aspect of visual processing. In some dichromatic substances (e.g. pumpkin seed oil) the color hue depends not only on the spectral properties of the substance, but also on its concentration and the depth or thickness. Mint Green

Q: Hello, I don't really want a car, what I really want is a fishtank, have you got one of these to sell? 13-Apr-11
A: Your question regarding my mint green ford focus is most welcome. When I was a child I wanted to take my goldfish to the shops with me. My mum said 'no!' but I plucked it out of the fish tank with a fork and put it in my pocket all the same. I think it died but I was too young to remember, it's a story my mother reminds me of frequently when I discuss my desire to train frogs to make toast. Ford Focus's (especially mint green ones) make fantastic mobile fish tanks, for an additional cost I can provide silicone sealant and under water breathing apparatus.

Q: Hi, im wondering if you would consider selling the Flux Capacitor separately, as i have a Moss Green Focus which i intend on travelling through time in. Ive got the time circuits all in place as well as the jars of plutonium, ive even kidnapped Dr E Brown... I am debating travelling back to 5 minutes before you put this advert on. Just to see if i could persuade you to swap for my Moss Green Focus, as i love Trebor Green. As yours has partial privacy glass id love to test it out with the lass from the chippy up the hill aswell. Your reply will be much appreciated. If your not interested in my half complete Moss Green Focus i wish you all the luck in the sale of your Trebor Focus. 13-Apr-11
A: Hello, thank you for viewing my auction for a Mint Green Ford Focus. If I were to sell the Flux Capacitor separately I am afraid the cost of the masking tape used to construct it would price the device out of any ones financial reach so for this reason the FC remains attached to my mint green ford focus. Moss Green is my 4th favourite Ford Focus colour but I am sad to inform you that Moss Green Ford Focus's are not permitted to time travel under section 45b of the time travel code. You are requested to at once desist from any further time travel plans and must remove all time circuitry from the vehicle. If I still have my mint green ford focus when the girl from the chippy gets back from her holiday in Tunisia you can borrow it. Please dont drink the bovril though as its promised to the winning bidder.

Q: Do you write scripts for HSBC or Barclays television advertisements? If not, WHY not? 13-Apr-11
A: Thank you for contacting me regarding my mint green ford focus I feel obliged to inform you that it has never been used to fish for sharks. Regarding the banks, I am unable to discuss that matter whilst they still have their restraining orders in place.

Q: Your advertisement is hilarious. If I were to come and pick the car up I think you would own me with your witty banter. 12-Apr-11
A: My mate once tried to own a dolphin but it splashed water at him and he spent the next 40 mins walking around looking like had peed himself. Dolphins are very intelligent and apparently have a sick sense of humour. Thank you for your kind words, they unfortunately do not change the colour of the car. You are not entitled to a postage discount or a dolphin.

Fart

Haha. I like it.

Joe10000

Very good.
