I wanna Marcos!

2002-09-29 by sveltebat

Dear All,

I'm just a little bat, Svelte's me name. I'm a little black del sol 
in search of a "real" sports car: a Marcos GT. I'd give my soul to 
transform from this short, stumpy profile to a real life sleek Marcos 
GT.

I need help! I'm trapped in this here body and I want out!

Has anyone there a need of a really nice little black bat with all 
sorts of goodies for a swap plus cash upfront? I'm a:

1993 Honda Civic del sol and I have a lot to boot!

Up to (and most often) 30 miles to the gallon in town.
Up to (and most often) 39 miles to the gallon on de highway.

I have electric side windows and a unique electric rear window.
I am "air-conditioned" and kool
I have a detachible front face stereo Clarion radio
I have lots of leg room
I have plenty of luggage space
I have PPG Harlequin side stripes four inches high from wheel to wheel
I got class, I have "Svelte Bat" where "Civic" use to be and I have 
my special symbol ">~v~<" under my "H" on me front nose and also 
where "del sol" use to be. They match my side Harlequin side stripes 
surrounded in silver.
I have a lift off roof, because I'm a "Targa" that is stored in the 
trunk for when you want to go to the beach.
I got all kinds of nooks and crannies inside me for putting things in.
I'm a bit over 102,000 miles and I'm like new in appearance and known 
commonly as "clean."

I'm not a cheap, though. My owner won't take less than $6,000 for me 
outright or as trade for one of those Marcos GT thingies.

I've been washed, buffed, tweaked, lifted, shifted, examined and 
pretty much taken care of as if I were some kind of a freakin' queen 
and I'm not queer!

I've got a nice stainless steel arse [everyone loves my low rumble 
and sometimes "loud" roar] and I do 0 to 60 in at least 9.3 
seconds. Only been tested once towards my top end at around 113 mph.

I have had so many things done to me I feel like a Madona Primrose 
and I'm treated with no respect as a purebred. I'm treated more like 
I was some kind of a toy that must be pampered and cared for as if I 
were a little girl.

I need a macho owner to really test me out and refine me and turn me 
into a "mean machine."

I've had over $1,000.00 of just about everything done to me including 
brakes, cv joints, injection cleaning, regular air/oil/filter 
changes, valve cover gasket replaced, leather-like seat covers, dash 
cover, new floor mats, etc., etc., etc.

I'm needing a Marcos owner that wants economy and reliability and 
just a touch of "man-handling" for his sweetheart in exchange for my 
owner's dream come true ...a Marcos GT.

Please contact either of us at:

SvelteBat@... [that's me] or
rdboyd@... [that's my stupid owner]
