It sounds like a bunch of desperate people who owe $10million are talking up their heap of junk so that some moron with more money then brains will buy a dull, un-inspired car in order to show everyone how incredibly stupid they can be.

Common trick used at auctions is to talk up the price and say "undisclosed" people have made offers of a gazillion dollars..... but no no.. Im not accepting it because the car is going to auction??? Oh please....

Must have made some serious mistakes to have to sell all those to pay off debt. Does any one know anything about 'chooka'?

Just on a side note though, they labelled the cobra as a BA, not BF.
