cng1 Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 1 * 15" Compomotive ML, few scrapes but seems in OK condition, comes ACB10 with loads of tread left but a score across the tread. The tyre and wheels both seem sound but as a result they're up for sale for just 20 quid for the pair of them, providing that you can collect from the Cambs area.
Jan Coombes Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 the pair of them, So there are 2 not 4 then Can you email me a photo.
Blatman Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Er, as I read it, there's one wheel, with one tyre...
adhawkins Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 The tyre and wheels It's a little confusing...he does say 'tyre' (singular) and 'wheels' (plural). Andy
Blatman Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I've assumed that's a typo. *Everything* else points to a single wheel and tyre, especially the title, and the first line, which says 1 * 15".... I have also assumed that the * is used in place of an 'x', or the word 'off'...
adhawkins Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I'd tend to agree. Bit more care on the part of the OP would have been advised though. Andy
moomin Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I'm fairly sure it's a pair (that's two) wheels/tyres. I'll poke him in this direction for clarification... moomin
moomin Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Can you send him via an English teacher? I have taken the opportunity to rib him about the illiteracy discussion on cam7 yesterday moom
cng1 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 It is a single wheel and tyre. I used the word "pair" in reference to it being a wheel and tyre. The reference to "wheels" was indeed a typo. If anyone thought that they were getting more than just a single wheel and tyre for 20 quid they were sadly deluding themselves. So for the avoidance of doubt and at the risk of baiting any more pedants. 1 * 15" compomotive wheel 1 * ACB10
Blatman Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 at the risk of baiting any more pedants My calling card, I believe Pedants? That's nice. You try to help some-one get a sale by attempting to clarify an ambigous posting, and what do you get? No, really, no thanks necessary, we were happy to help Right, wheres the office whipping boy?
adhawkins Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Right, wheres the office whipping boy? You called? Andy
Blatman Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Ah, good. I need a bucket of 2" holes, and some left handed hacksaw blades. Chop chop...
adhawkins Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 How about some sparks for the grinder while I'm there? Andy
