Default Stupped for ideas - Please help

Hi,
My site ads currently look like this http://everythingsfree.org/image//im...2933fullad.jpg you can see it just by going to truckandmachinery.com.au
I am currently stumped for ideas on this issue.
If you look at the Specifications & Features to the left of the main photo you can see there is only limited space, i offer enough extra fields for it to look like this http://everythingsfree.org/image//im...ladproblem.jpg
I currently have no solid ideas to get around this.
I was hoping someone has seen or used something that will fix my problem.
Cheers,
Nick

The page looks a bit dodgy if there is a big gap between the image and description. I was thinking along the lines of making the extra fields have an expand button if there are more than 9.

I dunno, I think it looks fine. Have you tried filling up the fields with max characters to see what it does to the layout?

It looks fine to me too, however I can see your point. What you might want to consider is putting the description in the second column right underneath your main pic.

Another option would be is to have one "Features" field with check boxes instead of all those separate fields. This is what I do on my 3.1.10 classifieds site. I have a crap load (very technical term ) of check boxes of features. I have different ones for my different types of vehicles (Motorcycles, cars, ATVs, etc.).
Example:
Features: • Custom paint • Heavy Duty Brakes • Blah • Blah2 •
