Grandma's House

The wife of a British DJ had put up with a lot from her off-the-wall husband. But when he started joking about leaving his family for a model, that was the last straw.

Listening at home to his show on Kerrang 105.2, Hayley Shaw was outraged at her husband's flirting with the model and decided to hit him where it hurt by putting his £25,000 Lotus Esprit Turbo up for sale on eBay.

In one of the great acts of marital revenge she offered the black sports car for a price of 50p. "I need to get rid of this car immediately - ideally in the next 3-4 hours before my cheating arsehole husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street," read the posting on the internet auction site.

Unsurprisingly it did not hang around and the buyer, contacted by a local newspaper, asked to remain anonymous.

How much was she expected to put up with, really? Seriously, if it had been my car, I would have had a fit.
