Shamelessly stolen from another forum:

http://www.vx220.org.uk/forums/index...howtopic=54660

I think its brilliant that enthusiasts will work together to stop people getting ripped off.

Basically:

* guy goes to forum like this or rsoc and places for sale ad as complete mint car

* someone notices private plate as being off a car that was damaged

*asks seller if being totally honest with ad

* seller still claims a minter

*photos posted showing damaged car

*links from seller's ip address and phone num to an ebay account where parts were purchased to repair the same damage, also requests on the smae forum for parts to repair damage

*arguing for pages and pages between seller and rest of forum

*I've not finished it yet, but will update this in a min when i do.

Link is working at the Mo, and Imran has been spotted recently viewing the post so he may make a surprise appearance and Close the Saga.

The link has gone around the world.
Page 49 at the moment, first 10 are the best ones.

Had a look, it's pretty damn obvious that by the end of page 2 he needs a good kicking. Obviously a compulsive lier, unfortunately I guarantee this isn't the first time he's done it.
