View Full Version : Wife sells flirting husband's Lotus car for 50p
MuteWitness 21-06-2005, 13:19 Irate wife retaliates for DJ’s flirting
THE wheels came off — in a manner of speaking — for a radio DJ after he propositioned Jodie Marsh, the glamour model, on air (Michael Horsnell writes). Tim Shaw, 30, whose evening show is broadcast by Kerrang 105.2, the Birmingham heavy-metal station, said that he would leave his wife and two children for the Page 3 Girl. His wife, Hayley, retaliated by selling his £25,000 Lotus Esprit Turbo on the internet for 50p.
Mrs Shaw, 27, said that the interview was the last straw. After hearing him flirt with Ms Marsh, she put the car on eBay and included a “Buy Now” price tag. The description read: “I need to get rid of this car immediately — ideally 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 was snapped up within five minutes.
Mrs Shaw said: “I am sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act. The idiot put my name on the log book, so I just sold it.”

Dj_Shadowman 21-06-2005, 13:21 OMG.....wish I had seen that on Ebay :D
And the buyer hasn't even left any positive feedback yet! :rolleyes:
Ebay won't force the sale, as it wasn't hers to sell.
MuteWitness 21-06-2005, 13:26 she was the registered keeper of the car and if the v5 is in her name she can sell it!
I hope he does leave her, forcing her to sell the house and making herself and kids homeless, then she won't be laughing.
I read this too.
gutted I wasn't on ebay last night!!!!!

MuteWitness 21-06-2005, 13:46 he shouldnt have said - "he would leave his wife and kids" for another woman
1Man&hisBMW 21-06-2005, 13:47 Registered keeper is not necessarily the owner - how long have you owned cars again?
chickmonk 21-06-2005, 13:50 Ha ha ha! I wouldn't be laughing if it was me, but this is very funny!
Guess this is why you shouldn't proposition other women whilst broadcasting to the nation... The power of eBay!

How could you prove that it is your car if someone elses name is on the V5 :confused:
chickmonk 21-06-2005, 14:49 What is a V5? Is it that form thingy that you get when you buy a car? If so, surely you would think that the person who's name name is on the form is the owner??
Surely?
Bit confuzzed...
There are 2 names on a V5 - although they are usually both the same. One is the 'Owner' and one is the 'Registered Keeper'
If she is only the registered keeper, somebody will be miffed at their 'purchase' :rolleyes:
chickmonk 21-06-2005, 14:54 Ah! that makes sense! I have now learned something new! Still, funny tale tho. Hope he's sorry for being a big monkey...
Foolish woman should have included his entire record collection, wardrobe etc in the price!! :hihi:
If that is him on the photo next to the car can't understand why she married him in the first place.....:gag:
investigator 21-06-2005, 15:16 Hmmmm - Most odd - has anyone else checked this woman's feedback and seen what she's bought off ebay recently? 1 pink dildo and 8 seperate purchases of used MrTickle books !
How peculiar. :confused:
killerbabe 21-06-2005, 15:18 if u click on the womans id, look at what the last thing she bought!
killerbabe 21-06-2005, 15:18 whoops u beat me to it! :hihi:
investigator 21-06-2005, 15:20 Only just - but you've answered my question. I'm intrigued.
Dj_Shadowman 21-06-2005, 15:27 Looking at the last item bought, obviously the husband cant back up the flirting :D

Hmm.. doesn't say if she's the registered keeper or the owner, only that it's her name on the V5. He could have been pulling the old 'women get cheaper insurance' trick by putting it all in her name and just driving as a named driver. That'll learn 'im :)
John McCutcheon's 1989 song "The Red Corvette" tells a similar story;
One morning while reading the paper
In search of a new set of wheels
The classifieds had a most curious ad
In their listing of automobiles.
I read in suspicious amusement
What seemed like a wild stroke of luck
"Corvette Stingray," it said, "low mileage, bright red,
"'83 model, 65 bucks."
I was used to my newspaper's typos,
Still I called up that number straightway.
"'Bout that '83 'Vette: have you sold that thing yet?"
She said, "No, you're my first call today."
I said, "There's been some mistake in the paper,
They've printed the price wrong somehow."
"Oh no," replied she, "they got that from me."
I said, "Don't sell that thing, I'm leaving now!"
Her address was in part of the city
Where I'd ventured just one time or two
Where the doctors, bank presidents, and lawyers are residents
And the houses are massive and new.
And as I turned up her half-mile driveway
There in the cool of the day
In the sunlight it gleamed: the car of my dreams
Just $65 away.
The interior was done in white leather
It had a 587 V-8
Gull-wing-span doors, Hurst four on the floor
And the 8-channel tape deck was great.
There was chrome on the chrome on the fenders,
An aerodynamic design
A bar, a TV, and it was boggling to me
That for 65 bucks it was mine
Now I expected that this woman was crazy
To sell off this car at that price.
But as we walked down the lane she seemed perfectly sane
She was charming and really quite nice.
And she smiled in such great satisfaction
As she handed me title and keys.
I said, "I've just got to know why you've let this thing go
"What's wrong with this car? Tell me please!"
Says she, "I'll be 60 come Tuesday.
And I've lived here with my husband, Earl.
Well, after 30 years wed and without a word said
He left me for a young teenage girl.
But with his credit cards left here behind him,
I knew that he couldn't get far.
Last night from Florida he sent a wire to me:
"Said, 'I need money, dear, sell the car!'"

erm since when? Besides the fact it is a V5C if you still have a V5 I suggest you get it changed immediately as the deadline is coming.
chickmonk 21-06-2005, 15:56 Cripes! What's a V5C?!?
Thought I'd got over that question and now more confuzzion!
Do I need one of these? Is there not 2 names on it? Need to know!!!
I think he should sell her dildo on his radio show.
He could auction it off for charidee....or to hlep pay for a new car.

One name - 'the registered keeper' which does not imply ownership of the vehicle. V5C has been around for over a year now, it is A4 in size.
Sorry, my fault. :rolleyes:
Just checked. It makes no mention of the owner :suspect:
What needs changing? and where do we get it done?
karenjane39 21-06-2005, 16:08 The idiot has just been on Richard and Judy.
He's a 'prankster' apparently. One of his pranks was to tell his wife's sister that he thought of her while making love to his wife!!
Also another one about his wife's pregnancy which I missed but heard she was seriously ****** off at him.
He was eating major humble pie on tv and Richard (another d*ckhead) was asking the guys wife to 'ring in and let us know if you'll think about having him back'.
I hope she says no.
chickmonk 21-06-2005, 16:14 So does this mean that the car has really been sold then???
Hope so (lucky bugger who got it!!)

They have been sending them out automatically when you re-tax or sorn your vehicle over the past 12 months :thumbsup:
chickmonk 21-06-2005, 16:22 Thanks! (was panicking a bit there...)
Me too! Just had to hunt them both out ;)

why on earth would you post that comment nick, wanting to make children homeless ... what's it to you whether some random wife sells a car as she's fed up with her husband disrespecting their family?
and you tell other people they're sick for their ideas ... :rolleyes:

Howard Stern did it and he's a huge success, would she been complaining when he bought her a new house with 50 bed rooms, infact probably not she would've had to clean them all.
Women + Ricky Lake = Selling your car for 50p

There was a picture of her in the Metro; I can understand why he married her.
(Looks round to see if wife is reading this post...)
Of course it could all be a publicity stunt and it'll turn out that the person who bought the car is the chap himself.

Stranger things have happened.
I like to think that Mr Shaw got what he deserved. He sounds like an horrible man and should have more respect.

Don_Kiddick 22-06-2005, 06:39 In my financial situation at the moment I don't see any gold diggers at all ever.
Good job I've got a good personality :hihi:

The feedback from the buyer states they have it so possibly so.
Otherwise maybe the wife created a new user and is secretly driving around in it.
If it is true then christ that's a bargain

Why do you need one (a personality, I mean) I thought you were married already? :rolleyes:
She has obviously been planning to sell the car for a while, look at something she bought prior to the sale ;)
