great description...

"The wings are in mint condition as shown in the picture"

"Although they have a some rust on the inside of the arches on both wings and one of the wings have a slight dent."

So mint = dented and rusty??

Maybe the mint's a Polo!

Here's a line from a car I'm watching:

"It is in great condition with only some minor unnoticable scratches"

If he substitued the word "mint" for "ropey" or "typical" he'd have a more accurate description.
