Utterly confused by the terrible photo's and description - can't work out what the hell these are supposed to be or do?

The special stick sounds great though eh?

A sort of floor to lay over the bumpy bits?

I thought shallow ramps to help lowered cars get up kerbs from what I can see/workout. I imagine two wide would cater for a car's width.

£80 though? Seriously?!

Absolutely appalling ad like you said

That's what I thought, but then looking at what I assume is the side of the ramp, they don't actually look to be 'wedge' shaped?

Well confused...

Almost as bad as this one, where on a first glance it looks like there'll be lots of description about the car... But actually it's just a cut and paste of the wikipedia entry about the Citroen CX

Nothing useful about the ACTUAL CAR HE'S SELLING!

(yes, I'm afraid I have messaged him to point that out...)

And this one gets worse...

I wrote:Hi, your advert is just full of generic CX information, doesn't really tell me anything about the actual car you're selling at all. Can you give the basics please; does it have an MOT, I'm assuming not, because it looks like it's been off the road for a long time, so in which case; does it run, how long have you had it, what work have you had done to it, what is the car like corrosion wise etc. Thanks

Yes, seriously, that is the full extent, word for word, of their reply...

Wut?

Thanks for adding to the mine of information and answering my specific questions...
