Fawlty Championshit

When I was doing my weekly round of car sales sites I bumped in a rather funny classified ad. Actually it was just gloating. It's interesting to see that one little word, one tiny mistake can ruin your advertisement and your chances of selling a car.


I know very well that sometimes my english isn't perfect but this classified ad just made my day:

Saying your car drove in the German F3 Championshit (!) is not going to improve your chances of selling the car isn't it? It may have been written by a Spaniard, but I can't believe they don't have dictionaries in Spain, or did Franco have them all shot?

Anyway, still an interesting car and propably very much worth investigating, but make sure you hang up if you get the answering machine. As you might be tempted to make one of those prank calls..
