I was browsing the Cars for sale section on the Mitsubishi register and came across this
Mitsubishi Lancer Register Forum - 2004-silver- Evo 8 MR FQ340 -6,000 miles

Seems they don't pull punches on there too much lol

Yes, but if a dodgy car was being sold on here, I think many users would react in the same way. At the end of the day, the seller didn't do himself justice by getting so defensive.

sort of works against having forum rules and moderators though, both on here and MLR. Whats the point of someone looking over a forum if they allow people to just waste their time and others?
Board looks like a bunch of children having an arguement tbh, can be the same on here i know, but thats reasoning with it. Surely the mods should remove posts that are pointless, then its worth coming on a board and reading the posts! Used to be worse on here when the likes of ps lewis were about!

Surely if anyone was really interested and spending that sort of cash a proper inspection before handing over any loot would show up if it really has been in a bad smash.

Not nice when the guy is trying to sell something and the others are pitching in, it could've been repaired well.

But...his defensive arrogance is not helping and does "Mint" and "Cat D" go in the same sentence?

Default Scoobynet harbours it's own far few idiots.

It all shows a true reflection of soceity, which ever forum etc you choose to go on it will habour it's own selection of complete ***** which then accounts for troll activity as a counterbalance. Scoobynet seems to have it's own far share and the saddest part being is these sad few don't even know what they are. Deluisional freaks would be a a kind way of reffering to them, all of whom believe they play a helpful and important part to Scoobynet. In the real world their complete misfits who play no really part to soceity except a bourdon on the goverment and their own families.
In the perfect world these idoits would have been disposed of from birth.

This guy has a very similar list of cars next to his username to the ones Rizzy had in his profile...

Because he started sending abusive PM's. Not the actions of somebody trying to sell a 'straight' car.
What people on MLR didn't like was how the seller gave lots of 'dodgy' info in the original description. Then, when questions were asked, he got aggressive.

Not that it means much on this site, but, I used to work for Norwich Union as a car insurance claim investigator, about 4 years ago until I moved on to better things........anyway, I can say without any doubt that a car would not at any point be written off for personal injuries.

It would not be in the insurers interest to write the car off as they would have to pay out for the car (in this case over 10k)!!! and then pay out for the injury claims..

The guys post was ridiculous and I would like to think that on our site a sale such as that would be pulled much sooner by our mods
