    yes for a big chunk of my life I couldn't afford a car - know what I did ?? I used public transport. Also if he can't afford a car is he/she going to be able to afford to run one - they are a bit of a black hole for money

    I agree totally, but round here we actually had a rash of cars being given away and asked for...... and being got apparently.......... I wonder if I've got the balls to ask for that Detomaso pantera I've always wanted....... Oh I'm sorry, it was actually the GT5 I was after.......

    Do what I do, set up a wanted folder and filter them all into that, then you can always look if you want to (its fun to list them all by "posted by" as well ;) ) or if not just delete the whole lot once a month.
