    Yes that is infuriating. A bit like those who call ST George Illawarra, ST George. There is no team in the NRL called ST George anymore. Get with the program !!

    ?? I thought they confused style side with Ute. They then call a one tonner, a Ute.
    I can’t stand when people call a rigid or table top truck, a flat bed.

    Exactly right. Easy terms to refer to as well.

    Styleside is a yanky term to differentiate their pickups (like the C20) that have the walls of the tray in the same 'style' as the cabin, with the wheel wells inside the tray area, as opposed to a flat tray or stepside (with the fenders on the outside of the traysides).

    "one owner car"

    yeah right probably one at a time, and just because its one owner doesn't make it a better car. And what if the cars registration papers has two owners on the rego papers is it still classed as a one owner.

    The one that cheeses me off the most is the petulant threat

    "Don't care if it doesn't sell, it can go back in the shed for another twenty years"

    As for "buyers" that's a whole other issue

    One that has me confused, car just has surface rust. Surface rust? Yeah right, more like there is a small amount of metal between the bog and gaping rust holes.
    Another, a car that is claimed to be one owner, but the seller actually bought the car from the “one owner”.
    No reserve auction, that actually has a starting price of above zero? Um, no reserve means it starts at zero.
