    A controversial radio DJ's wife sold his £25,000 sports car on eBay for just 50p after he flirted with Jodie Marsh on air.

    Kerrang 105.2's Tim Shaw told the model he was prepared to leave his wife and their two children for her, reports Metro.

    Wife Hayley was listening and immediately posted an advert for the Lotus Esprit Turbo with a 'Buy It Now' option of 50p.

    The item description read: "I need to get rid of this car 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 sold within five minutes.

    On a previous occasion, the DJ upset Mrs Shaw, 27, when she was pregnant by ringing her sister live on air and saying he thought about her while having sex with his wife.

    Mrs Shaw said: "When he said he would leave me and the kids for Jodie Marsh, that was it for me. I am sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act.

    "The car is his pride and joy but the idiot put my name on the log book so I just sold it. I didn't care about the money, I just wanted to get him back."

    She added: "There is no hope for a reconciliation." A Kerrang 105.2 spokesperson said the DJ was 'absolutely gutted'.

  7. If I would have won that auction, you bet that I would have found someone to pick that up for me!...

    50/50 of $25.000 I think it's a pretty good deal out of $50.

    50 Pence = 88 Cents (approx) - not even a dollar.

    dont feel bad - the British money system made no sense for years and their gallons are the wrong size (so are ours) .... :P


    In pre-decimalization, a sum would normally be written
    Pounds, Shillings, Pence (£sd). Thus, £2. 19s. 3d.
    would be 2 Pounds, 19 Shillings, 3 Pence. This
    would be spoken as "two Pounds nineteen and three."
    If dealing only in Shillings and Pence, a sum would
    be written as 2s. 6d., or 2/6, and spoken as "two and six."

    Coins after decimalization carried the term
    "New Pence" (removed in 1982) to differentiate them from
    the old, pre-1971 decimal coins.

    that's what confused me , so it's not officially a penny but is just a nickname. I did a little search and read about the US penny from a link in this page so I'm no longer confused but a little wiser

    p.s. only thing about Jodie Marsh is her funny dick shaped nose but I'd live with that :P

    Here's the DJ:


    Uhhhhhh


    You know, this is very possibly a media stunt by this guy.
    It could all easily have been faked.
    And now he has international fame.
