It's was almost identical VSport thread 
Dom,
We all knew what the score was.....nobody posted it because over on vx220 we like to let people admit their own misgivings not slate them.
Subtley different to on here, but Imran simply wont admit what has gone on.
a simple visit would have cleared it all up and there wouldn't be 22 pages of "movie goers" with there popcorn 
And im not sure about your comment "not to slate them", as soon as those pictures were posted a lot of the users were already stating that it was dodgy and started giving him grief, yet no one knew diddly squat, especially as no one would own up to the photos or authenticity of them.
the only difference i see over on the vx forum is that the mods like to jump in an play pretend CID

tbh i actually beleive the guy, if what he is saying is true:
he owned it for 6 months
that plate hasnt been on the car since 2 years ago
and that the guy with the posted pics of the smashed up vxr220 wont admit what the date of those pics originated from...
Then this car is probably legit !
My 2 cents

Just read all (currently) 24 pages and ended up with All Torques posting being the last one - how truely profound!
Anyway, good read and it's a good demonstartion of how car owners clubs/forums can be seen in a positive light (Unless you're a dodgy car fixer/seller!)

LOL,
Other people who know the car in question have sent the pics of 'VXR 16' to the mods
It's one car in a run of only 65, your comment of 'knew diddly squat' about vxr220's just goes to show your ignorance about what the thread was all about.
I'll leave it there TBH...

no you're probably right, but from an "outsider" it just seems a bunch on a vx-goers are too eager to bash the seller. And the fact remains, none of the mods/users wanted to authenticate the photos showing the damage to the car. If they had, then im sure it wouldn't have been a 23 page thread.
But like yourself, i'll leave it there.....
edit - at regarding my "diddly squat" comment, it was aimed at majority of the posters knowing anything about the situation, not at whether the posters knew anything about VX's (would seem a bit daft if you didn't know anything about a 220 considering it's a vx220 forum )

Did you not read the bit which shows his ebay account was used to buy all the new parts that were ruined in the crash? Like the lights, side vents, panels etc  the fact that another account used by same ip was created before and asking people for spare parts etc? 
He got caught out, hes probablly not very computer "savvy" so didn't think people would find out and be able to see his ebay account/existing accounts and ip etc

Bloke was selling a VXR220
Someone posted pics of it smashed up
Everyone got their super-sleuth hats on and went looking for ebay accounts and stuff
People posted links to old threads by the same bloke, under a different username, buying the parts to repair the damage
Bloke denys all knowledge of damage.

I guess us vx220 lot get a bit 'precious' where are car type is concerned....
What people should realise is that the car in question is one of 65...its pretty bloody special, to a lesser or greater extent it's our 'dream car' as far as VX's go.
So when we hear/see one badly damaged/written off...we understandably look after our own.
It's my understanding (and always has been, although I'm not a Mod....I know most of the mod team) that information was at hand from the offset that proved the bloke was a scammer (he's marketed repaired cars on the site before hand as non crashed apparently)
If you read the thread he (Imran) was given every opportunity to withdraw the ads, but he chose to add more lies and spin to cover himself (there were lots of u2u's going about too)
I dont think the admin/mods ever expected the thread to get the exposure it did, hence the 'be honest' approach, as opposed to we will expose you for the scammer you are...
I guess the damage is done now as far as Imran is concerned....can't say I feel sorry for him.
If there was a special edition VXR corsa available and he had scammed this site would you?
Ah well
