Lee aka Carlos the Magnificent

Soooooo just who is this character 360Racer - 'Carlos', who keeps claiming to buy another Ferrari to join the two (360/430) that he claims is already in his stable.

Well interestingly enough cast your memory back to late November 2008, (the same time 360racer registered ) there was another user by the name of Chopper-world who was Banned for pulling everyones chain about owning a rare Silver 360CS and then posted pics of an American car and tried to pass it off as his own.
Dont quite remember?

Well heres Pap and Ryans take on it

Oh so now were cooking......

You might also remember Chopper-world also used to post quite a few pics of bikes and choppers that he had in his backyard 'garage' that he was trying to offload to anyone intrested in buying.

Well surprise surprise a background check on 360racer shows some previous posts on Fchat about bikes, however more importantly that nickname is being used on numerous Motorbike forums. Coincidence that both are into bikes?

MVAgusta forum - http://mvsource.net/forum/search.php?searchid=1605437

Okay so you may say 'wheres the connection'?

Well Amongst the numerous banal and boastful posts including one made about owning a DESMOSEDICI Lee/Carlos posted his email address......



Oh Snap!, Google brings up even more motorcycle forums with that email being registered.

It seems that Carlos is actually 'Lee' and is a backyard motorcycle/car parts broker extraordinaire. Most of the pics of bikes are at a BP service station and in the back of some industrial area where the two tone blue building can be seen in the majority of pics posted under the numerous different accounts.

Okay heres one thread on an Aprilia Forum where he wont give out details of his dealership.... wonder why not Lee?

Just to remove anymore doubt that Carlos is actually Lee who was banned previously, you can compare the posting style of each account and see they are both active the middle east forums.

Now Lee if your reading this please dont take it the wrong way, I dont hate you or have anything against you. Fchat is a wonderful community and I would warmly welcome you to participate here in the oz section, we are all enthusiasts of fine engineering regardless of origin.
Many members here appreciate motorbikes and theres no need to pretend to own a Ferrari to fit in. Actually theres quite a few of us that dont even own Ferraris and aspire to eventually own one, and I dont think theres any shame in that. Especially in Australia where Ferrari prices are stupidly high compared what the rest of the world pays.

So if you wish to get the best possible experience of out of this forum then honesty is the best policy

Its a shame nearly all of Lees original account 'Chopper_world' posts have been deleted. Would have been entertaining to read them again. Especially the BS claims of owning a Silver 360CS when there was supposedly none of that colour in Australia.

Hang on, didnt Carlos *cough* '360racer' mention more than once that he spotted a silver CS in Oz? oh looks like someones trying to prove a point
I think a certain someone is cut up about being run out of F-chat town on his BS stories about that silver CS.....

 

Thanks

I was up late doing some I.T work, databases dont sleep apparently

I wouldnt waste my sleep time chasing up this kinda crap.
