I'm having a go at a bit of this after reading the Fluke Motorsport thing.

Any tips? I've set up a random email account with yahoo.

PMSL when i read the "minor flaws" one

"there is a fist sized hole where piston number 3 exited the block at 14,000rpm"

Like he said, shooting fish in a barrell!

Hardly!

If they were I doubt they'd be falling for the scams of the 419baiters!

Just a bunch of dumb scumbags on the take!

i remember that someone involved in a 419 scam, when he went to africa to do the deal, was actually kidnapped and the police had to rescue him.

I think it would be best to advise a 13/14 year old not to become involved in such things......

Are you suggesting that a 419baiter is actually going to fall for a 419 scam!
Come on Steve- give the guy *some* credit!

Somehow I can't see Adam jumping on a plane for Africa any time soon!

As far as I'm aware people who've been dumb enough to fall for the scams have gone to Nigeria and never been seen again!

I know people who've been there for business etc. and I'm friendly with people from there. From what they say basically the place is a hell hole where the value of human life is about the same as ours is for a roach you might find in your kitchen! So who in their right mind would go there?!!!

Some might suggest if you're daft enough to fall for a 419 scam and fly out to collect your illicit millions then you're best extracted from polluting the gene pool as soon as possible anyway!

Who says there's anything wrong with Eugenics?!!!

I couldnt afford a plane to africa

stephen_gusterson - 9/6/05 at 10:40 PM

No james, im not suggesting that Adam would fall for the scam.

Its amazing how much personal info can be on these sites. We know quite a lot about adam, and who his dad works for on here. If Adam gets involved in something and uses the word 'locost' and someone does a google on him, i dont think it would be hard to find him if he really seriously annoyed an organised bunch of scammers.

tiny tiny tiny chance. but possible.

let me put it a bit of a different way james.

if you had a 14 year old son, would you think it was best he didnt do it?
