• July 29, 2008 Lotus: 50pence, BMW: 36pence

    04:25pm by Cheechoo (Random)

    You’ve gotta see this. A radio show host in the UK was mouthing off on the radio about how he’d trade his family for Jodie Marsh. He owned a slick S4s Lotus Esprit, and once his wife got word of what he said on the radio, she sold the beautiful car on eBay for a discounted price of 50 pence. That’s a bit over $1 USD. WHAT A DEAL!!! I wish I were scouring eBay at that time.

    Fortunately, he’s a radio show host, and they’ve got a lot of pull for companies seeking publicity. They’re building him a BMW 3 series, and with all the goodies, it’ll be worth around 50 thousand pounds (over $100k USD), and he’s only planning on using that 50pence he got for the Lotus. The embedded Youtube video shows what he’s got for spending only 36.

    What a hilarious situation. Personally, I think I would rather have the Lotus, though.

    The only reason why that was made possible is because he can offer air time on the radio and air time on tv. That publicity is worth way more than the parts they gave out… I wish i was a host on a tv show and get a cheap car.
