Hi I’m quite new here!
I’ve previously placed a wanted ad on another forum and been scammed by a new user with a few posts under his belt claiming he had just the parts I was after. Pics and all. Fortunately I got my money back but I know of others who haven’t.
So please don’t assume anything if you’re presented with just the parts you’ve been looking for at an amazing price, particularly from somebody who’s only registered hours ago or with minimal posting history.
Chances are you’ll see straight through any scams, but I’m just putting it out there just in case.
Cheers, Andy

You make an excellent point. The Mods try to weed out this sort of thing (a chap from Nigeria tried it a couple of months ago and was caught out within a day) but it is always a good idea to do your own research.

So with Ray Hushpuppi behind bars, is there a place in the market for Jimmy Kicker or Arthur Birkenstock?
As always, asking for a friend.

I think with over 34,000 posts and having had an actual Maserati you’ve maybe been taking infiltrating a bit too seriously :)

Having just re-read this, (cos someone liked my comment above): Point of order: I had a 4200 and a GT 4.2 for over 6 years.....
