So why don't you put a full 12 months on it then?

Also, if you're an illiterate git why don't you buy a dictionary? People might take you a bit more seriously.

And the fun parts

Yes, it's a shagged out old 8 Series. It wants

Looks like he has taken the time to list it properly,however like you say just another shagged out 8 series that needs a small mortgage to keep running!!(or get running!)
