I think I missed all the fun.. ..some bloke who posts on car forums telling us he is incredibly rich and hasn't got one of our cars?
I'll check the Rover Metro website to see if he's got there yet. He's not on any of the myriad MX-5 websites as far as I can see

Shame you missed it Jim
It was both laughable and pathetic at the same time. Some middle aged Texan looking for a mint M100 at a knockdown price allegedly goes out and buys a top of the range yellow Lambo and posts some photos off the internet LOL. He reckoned the chicks would dig the Lambo better
Cue the LEC cynics, banter merchants and general piss takers etc....
Most entertaining topic for a while until the man with the fat fingers pressed the NUKE button and the fruitcake was no more

Excepting that 'Middle Aged Texan' may be wrong I had it that Lotus38 was his age not DOB but perhaps its the thickness if his wallet - thanks to Fat-fingers now we'll never know!

I thought it was his IQ.... or am I confusing him with me? Or maybe it's the number of account managers jobs he's had.... but that seems on the low side. Or maybe it's the average temperature in Texas.... but he probably doesn't understand Centigrade so it's probably not that. Damn you fat-fingers..... whoever you are.

Another week would have been good. Lotus38 would have published his address and i could have sent him a birthday card.

I'm fairly sure in a previous post (now all nuked) that Philip Hurston of Houston said he was nearly 50 ??
Perhaps the 38 was in reference to dick size ??
In millimetres

I just assumed that the '38' was the number of millions of dollars he saw off the US Government for when he provided a dodgy computer system to the FBI....

It goes:
1. Post saying you want mint X.
2. Post generic picture of mint Y.
So, in the case of the OP:
X = Elan
Y = Lambo
In the above example:
X = Polo
Y = Trebor
Keep up at the back. The cold must be numbing your braincell.

Very good Geoff

Your powers of lateral thinking never cease to amaze me.
I do try and keep up but its very hard with only one brain cell numbed by the cold and pickled in gin
