You are going to argue that the lonely picture of the rusting hulk was an Ital? Here, check this forum, something about a Marina TC, can't remember what a TC means. Trashy Car perhaps? Or maybe Twat's Car. Certainly not: Too Cool. It probably means: Turd Crusher.

very solid but there is signs of orange coming through on the sills in places - probably ready to be undersealed again.

Anyone who's interested should get in touch with the purchaser who has been accused of not turning up.. ;)
