1. Australian is know for its meth heads. Just saying

2. Tbh I’ve seen the writings and markings (even the swastika) on cars at the Toyota dealer, i think it’s a religious thing but i could be way off (iirc the owners were Indian looking)

3. Oh yeah. Totally agree FB market place over here is full of screwy car guys.

   I had a lightly modified sv6 (cams, tune, factory manual) that spun a bearing. So I bought a m140i as my daily and rebuilt the VE over the course of the year as a project (it was the 2010 sidi. So a bit of a unicorn engine, made getting a good bottom end hard. In the end. I put an LFX crank in the LLT and replaced everything. Rings, bearings, oil pump, you name it)

   A guy on FB wanted to buy it to give to his son as his first car and to "learn how to drive a manual" negotiations went well and with a little wiggling on price, requested changes and waiting for roadworthy items we had a deal. And a month later i had the car in the state the guy wanted.

   He had been seeing a few times inspecting the car and it was very clear the guy had money from mining or some industrial work and just expected things to work his way all the time. No isn't something he's used to hearing.

   Eventually we get everything sorted for the RWC and his wife picks it up. Only to demonstrate she is not be able to drive a manual very well as she's leaving. (At this point I've also handed over all the photos of the rebuild. Receipts for tuning etc etc)

   Sure enough. 2 weeks later. The abuse started.

   Demands that i offer warranty on my work and that i should replace the clutch as it's now been destroyed by his P plater son. That i should be paying for another engine rebuild as the water pump seal leaked. Threats to my mechanic for providing a dodgy RWC (when in fact. That was probably the most through RWC I've ever had)

   Thankfully. The mechanic that assessed the car wasn't putting up with his shit and could demonstrate the list of things detected during the initial assessment including photos and the list of repairs including photos.

   Humans can be weird sometimes and i hope that that car is still running today

4. In the UK we call this mental illness.

5. Lol, I remember those number plates. Is it MW or WM

6. This was the most interesting story you could find in australia?

7. King needs to put the glass bbq down lol

8. Custom wrap ❌
   Custom hieroglyphics ✅

9. I'd say a bit of the transparent didgeridoo was involved in this

10. That was probably the most boring car story I have ever heard, thought it was going to end up with something interesting or funny happening…. Nope. Just a normal online car sale 🥱

11. This was actually the most boring Facebook marketplace interaction story I’ve heard I reckon lol, there is some real crackers out there 🤣🤣

12. '84 Nissan Datsun bluebird. weakest link on those was the diff, so if you were like me in '97 and chucked a turbo on it that developed a whopping 180hp and by the time the mechanic swapped the carby for a new manifold and injectors, ported the heads, new intake system, ecu, exhaust manifold and exhaust system that all up totally wasn't worth the money you keep breaking diffs. pick and pay less loved me and i could swap a bluebird diff out in 30 minutes flat. in hindsight i probably should have installed a slightly heavier diff.

13. I reckon chemicals were in there well before you started cleaning 😂😂

14. Guy was secretly a tech priest.

    The soul of the Machine God surrounds thee.
    
    The power of the Machine God invests thee.
    
    The hate of the Machine God drives thee.
    
    The Machine God endows thee with life.
    
    Live!

15. Legend has it that if this bloke stops smiling, he dies …. Something about needing water flowing through his gills, I’m told ….

16. Bro doesn't believe in THE LAW😭😭😭

17. @6:50 Dude! You found his Bitcoin keys!

18. If someone start acting funny or say bro, i just reply its Sold nowadays

19. This clown is NOT representative of most of us normal Australians.

20. Idk man this guy feels like a tosser.

21. Sovereign citizens are crazy. Especially when they're on drugs.

    Imagine being so untouchable you can indulge and cook your brain in every way possible. And having the funds to fuel whatever hobby, interest or passing fancy you want.

22. not old mate with the dot paintings down souf HAHA

23. That VT commodore was a sweet looking car. I had one brand new it was my first new car. To say a baby seat wouldn’t fit is a lie as we bought up two kids in our VT and when we bought another car in 2006 we got a great deal for the VT.

24. Far out picked the damn thing up and didn't even get a mention 😭😭😭

25. Just saying, fitting a baby seat in a 910 bluebird is as easy as it can be
    My mum did it when i was a baby and ive done it with mine now i also have a kid
    Honestly easier in the bluebird than it is in my prado and is200

26. Marketplace in Australia will make you very educated in addiction and mental illness

27. That's a lovely VT.

28. Of course this is in Adelaide

33. Dudes been smashing the glass BBQ mate, needs a sleep

34. Found a 3.5in floppy disk under the back seat of my 1993 Mx-6. It contained WordPress files for school assignments. On there I was able to find the kids resume and was able to call him and find out his dad was the original owner of the car up in Canada.

35. FB marketplace is where all the scammy junk cars on Craigslist went 😂

36. What happens to these trust fund kids when they run out of money?
