Trolling do we call it?...

Well this didn't start off as a trolling plot. I genuinely thought I'd give this guy a helping hand after spotting his obvious mistake...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123

So I said...

"Hi mate. I noticed you've put the power at 260bhp. Obviously it's just a typo as it should be 160, but I thought I'd point it out to save you getting in trouble

Cheers bud and good luck with the sale. Nathan"

Then he said...

"Thanx for txt me Yup its about 260 Bhp, because twin turbo in"

So I said...

"Are you sure mate. The picture makes it look fairly standard apart from the air intake and the painted valve cover and stickers. You haven't mentioned the mod in the listing either bud. might be worth it to get a few more bids

"

Then he said...

"no problem boss, thanks for texting"

I have no doubt whatsoever nothing on his listing will change

I sent an email to Total Honda when they featured this, as the figure was 260 there too. There is no turbo in any of the pics (either on ebay or in Total Honda). Either he hasn't a clue, or is a pretty barefaced liar.

Did Total Honda reply? Surely they must have picked up on it?!

I never heard anything back - but it was at the same time as they did a 'How can we improve survey' so no doubt they were snowed under. I was surprised it made it into print though yeah.

"Teamstig" I think he must be from Sweden as English is not his first language going on some of the dubious spelling
