Marcos Maniacs

Hey all,
           Did anyone  catch a story about some woman in England that sold 
her husbands Marcos for  pound. My mom swears she heard this story on the radio 
and I was wondering if  anyone had heard something like that.

no it was not a Marcos it was a Lotus Esprit, the husband was a radio 
presenter and was always 'coming on' to his callers, so his wife stuck 
his Esprit on Ebay for a £1 the deal being that the buyer had to be 
round the same day to pick it up. I'll look the story up for you if I 
can as I am on the Esprit forums as well (we have a couple of Loti).

£25,000 revenge of DJ's wife
By Georgina Littlejohn, Metro, 21st June 2005
It's one thing cutting up your errant husband's clothes and chucking 
them out on the street. Selling his £25,000 sports car on the Internet 
for just 50p is another matter entirely. But that's just what the 
scorned wife of a controversial DJ did.

During a live interview with Jodie Marsh, Kerrang 105.2's Tim Shaw 
told the glamour model he was prepared to leave his wife and their two 
children for her. Wife Hayley was listening and said her husband's 
flirtatious interview was the 'last straw' in their relationship.
After having a few drinks and while her husband was still in the 
studio presenting his show, she posted an advert on eBay for the Lotus 
Esprit Turbo with a 'Buy It Now' option of 50p.

The item description read: 'I need to get rid of this car in the next 
two to three hours before my husband gets home to find it gone and all 
his belongings in the street.'

The car sold within five minutes.

On a previous occasion, the DJ upset Mrs Shaw, 27, when she was 
pregnant by ringing her sister live on air and saying he thought about 
her while having sex with his wife. Mrs Shaw said: 'When he said he 
would leave me and the kids for Jodie Marsh, that was it for me. I am 
sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act.

'The car is his pride and joy but the idiot put my name on the log 
book so I just sold it. I didn't care about the money, I just wanted 
to get him back.' She added: 'There is no hope for a reconciliation.'

AKerrang 105.2 spokesperson said the DJ was 'absolutely gutted'. Mr 
Shaw was suspended from the station in February after he broke into 
programme director Andrew Jeffries' house during a live prank, damaged 
the property and wrote obscenities on the wall.

Ash,
      Thanks for the story, the only problem is  that my wife read your 
e-mail over my shoulder. Now I have to be nice and check  if her name is on the 
registation.

Doh sorry to hear that Hal!

best get checking your documents immediately!!!

I've got little fear of that at the moment as mine is still not on the 
road so would need a low loader to take it away....but I guess that's 
possible, m,mm, must invest in a wheel clamp next!

regards

Ash
