    sy....

    Good job. This guy reminds me of a couple of 'internet tough guys' that we had who were local AZ people. 'Ol Alan Lambo, and a parker something or other.

    They went round and round with many people. I think Alan got banned. When we actually saw these guys, the general thoughts were. "THAT is who is acting tough on the web"? It ends up not being worth the effort to confront them.

    The sad thing is that when you offend so many people, you end up not really being able to actually show your face at a real event.

    It's bizarre that someone would persist and go to such lengths to harass a member, as this Owen/Trotter character has. It's clear that the anomalous and bullying behavior is far beyond only about a car. This person must have deep issues.

    I commend you on turning the tables and doing the necessary forensics to bust this guy. Very smart of you. His smugly abusive anonymity has come to bite him in the ass, worse than he ever imagined.

    I was looking at some of Sy's youtube videos at the weekend and came accross the comments left by this nutcase. On some of the videos he is the only person who has commented, yet returns months after to make other comments on the same video directly after his last one, i think he needs help. Here are some to give people even more of an idea what he is like :)

    348's are wank, a 355 is far superior.

    ****e cars the 348, even Luca DM said they were runts.

    Ropey old 348. Low-rent Ferrari for low-rent people.

    Sounds like a wet fart.

    **** Ferrari, confirmed by owner! "Look, my 348 has broken down again"!

    As i said, someone has 'issues'. What makes me laugh is the man that thinks he has a clever answer for everything, and also takes any opportunity to have a dig at Sy or others is remarkably quiet all of a sudden. Hmmm...

    People who become abusers were normally abused themselves when younger.

    It was not the owner at fault, it was about an owner who someone tried to scam and they were just having some fun with the scammer. It was in this section :)

    Thanks for teh support everyone :D

    Actually... he asked to come to a meet I'm organising near where he lives.

    Yes... I couldn't believe that either!!!

    Unfortunatly (or should that be foprtunatly), there are too many people gunning for him so for his own safety, so I refused access.

    I still have a video of him that I took at the Grimaldi meet. ;)

    Great move, Steve. No one should f*ck with an FChat icon like Sy.

    In all seriousness, although psychiatry is certainly not my area, I am afraid poor Derek has some major issues that need to be addressed.

    WoW totally missed this thread back in 09.

    Good on you Sy for being the MAN in this situation.. Although I know you want to kick is arse!

    Just don't understand people starting crap for nothing. They do need professional help.

    Cheers!
