Bloody hell! That's not clever He needs taking down from being an affiliate for what he's done. That's a good read.

In short, he claimed to run a 10.9 quarter at 2bar turbo pressure on std engine internals and all on a wet track !!! But it was all to 'suss' out possible business partners...apparently !!!

It then turns into a load of he said she said crap with no-one being any the wiser !

I wouldn't bother reading it, it's not that interesting. Basically the guy's been punished and it's all a storm in a teacup.

Quality read... goes on a bit but the first pages 6-8 or so are the best.

It's such a totally ridiculous excuse that makes it so funny. Obviously business plans etc are worthless in his opinion - best to try and trick your mates into showing you have a fast car. Well worth a read for those who have not yet!

What an absolute loser.

The thing I don't understand is how someone who obviously spouts so much rubbish can earn that much 'respect' from his peers in the first place.

For me to respect someone they have to be at least semi-literate!

Unfortunately, scoobynet is not deviod of characters like that - be careful who you trust.
