'They suggested I keep the ute and ditch my wife': Man struggles to sell his ... - Daily Mail
A man has been forced to sell his Subaru Brumby ute by his wife because she's pregnant and there's no room for a baby seat. But Stuart Watt, 32, managed to pen a hilarious but gloomy ad for the quirky offroader which has clocked 280,000km since it was first registered back in 1992. The dramatic Gumtree ad hails from the Northern Territory, where Mr Watt is advertising... Watt has listed the 1992 Subaru Brumby for $2,500 - but he says finding a buyer has been problematic because everyone thinks the advertisement is just a 'joke'. Mr Watt describes how he has owned a string of other vehicles since then- a Hilux, Getz, CRV, Pajero, Pajero Junio - but that only his beloved Brumby has 'faithfully and stoically remained by my side'. He said his wife Zelina was expecting their second child at the time. 'With only days before childbirth is due,' the ad reads, 'my wife is getting a little frantic about irrelevant things. After listing the cars extensive usage-which includes 280,000km and a broken speedometer-Stuart wrote 'yes she's old and has some inevitable wear and tear, but is super reliable and clearly super cool. He said since the ute can't fit a baby seat in it, and since his wife has just given birth to their second child, the Brumby is now obsolete as a family vehicle. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk
