He had this thing posted on e-bay a while back and everyone had fun ripping on it. I think some from here even helped bid it up (surreptitiously if course) to a a ridiculous figure, like $20,000 or so.

That's exactly what I was thinking.. It must have one hell of a motor for anyone to think it's worth $5,000 looking the way it does.

No, you can pitch a tent in the wheel gap or sleep under the overhang of the wing. :thumbup:

Someone should take it for a test drive and push it off a cliff.

If the engine mods are in line with the exterior mods, its next owner (yes, there will be someone :rolleyes) may find themselves doing that a fair bit. Fry some eggs on the engine block, overheated because the owner probably hasn't changed the coolant, and from all the exterior crap that weighs so much. I dunno - I guess it'd be a character-building camping adventure, no? I'm pretty sure the looks would deter bears, too.

I fail to see how a test drive is necessary for justice to be done...

LOL i remember this one. He had it on ebay and all this other stuff. Supposebly it could hit 200mph and more, and some other bs.

spyrot1
02-15-2007, 11:24 AM
Yeah,

He was making claims about it being an Alpina Twin Turbo that reached 200mph, but he wouldn't show the engine or any Alpina parts...

His original ebay scam also said that if he didn't get the price he wanted he would take the turbo's out...

Modular turbo's and those "official" Alpina external mods... what a tool.

You should have seen how many emails me and this guy traded. He kept saying he'd send me pics of his "alpina" motor but never did. I finally called him out on it and he stopped sending emails. Then I bid his auctions up to 15k :rofl

Then HE got banned from ebay, not my fake account :rofl
