You’ll struggle to find a comparable, collective online knowledge base locally. We are fortunate to have so many great contributors here on PFA. I’m a member of many other groups (both on and offline) and the exchanges on here are typically the most valuable (and useful!) Apologies for the thread drift. Turbo talk away!

on_booost Posted 20August, 2021 Report Share Posted 20August, 2021 I called the guy over 2 years ago (LOVE the colour) and was prepared to buy and clean up, but thought better of it... Originally had a Techart front bar (ugliest thing known to man) and a few other Techart bits. Was offering all the stock bits at the time too. Looked good from far........

Opportunist ...with over market expectations , scammer or otherwise .. dont they realise that they need to vacuum them before listing and be open to review of their copy, photographic skills and be subjected to the general enthusiast analysis/inquisition including deeper review their the watch, garage cleanliness, level of tyre shine and of course how outlaw their cologne is Thats all before we start the deep trawl of social media posts and profiling .

Yeatesy Posted 2September, 2021 Report Share Posted 2September, 2021 So I was just checking the PCV website and saw that 996 advertised by a club member, different name & phone number to the advert on Carsales so I’ve sent him a text to let him know.

I have lots of burner SIM's for my job (telco testing, not drugs). Any suggestions? I am guessing this will be the usual "I work on an oil rig" scams.
