LamboUK is a fraud !!!!!!!! - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Dear M owners

For months I have been reading the posts by this guy named LamboUK who claims to own a purple Diablo GT. He finally posts a picture of what he claims to be his Diablo. Well I obviously have some on my hands to I called the registry based on the stats given by LamboUK and the photo he posted and guess what. He is full of it. The picture of the GT is in fact a German registered GT, LHD and currently registered in fact in ......... Germany, I also have the name of the owner given to me by a Miura owner(thanks Hans) etc etc. The Lambo GT in the picture claimed by LamboUK is in fact Blue Scuro. If you go back sometime LamboUK claims his GT has a cream interior, hahahahaha wrong again, this one has an Oxblood interior.

check it out fellow M owners

Thank you very much for the old news. Since it was discovered and brought to LamboUKs attention half a year ago he hasn't posted here at all.

hahaha, This is funny !

Unfortunately he is NOT the only fraud here.

Do you have something to tell us? You don't really own a Corsa?

Of course there are a couple of frauds here. I just hope that they are not that many. Calling them on it in the way done above isn't a good way to preserve the civility on this board. LamboUK posted some really nice stories but as you can see from some of the replies he got many people understood he was a fraud and didn't call him on it. I think he passed the line when he posted pictures of someone elses car.

Leave the prospective frauds alone and if your worried that someone thinks they are for real, you can be certain that someday they will post something really stupid and everyone will know(maybe they already have

) If they don't understand just let them live with their fantasy

I think this can be a little warning message for all that people. I can't still forget the guy that supercharged his M5 E39 in his own garage !

And yes this is the last time I mention the prospective frauds. Who cares ?

P.S: I own a Corsa for daily use, I'm a poor guy

. It is the ultimate sleeper

With sleeper, do you mean it's the perfect car to sleep in?

The sad thing about frauds is that they really don't need to be anyone but themselves. I don't think anyone on the board needs to be impressed.

I remember kids asking questions on the board and getting a warm response.

All that is needed is an interest is cars.

Eric · 25th December 2001, 09:14

Yes, I remember that guy, I think I politely pointed out why he wanted a LHD car in the UK and got no response. From that point onward I already assumed there was something fishy, not surprised at all.

I agree. The love of cars is what it is all about. Most car lovers love all types of cars and repect other enthusiasts for their choice in marque.

Some people just try to hard... Like owning a new M3 and M5

...... Just kidding.

Guys, PLEASE dont let "who's legit and who's not" get in the way of what this whole site is about. Admiring, discussing, and again, admiring, one of the world's finest cars, the BMW M5. I dont have a BMW yet, I have a parents bought Ford, but the second I can I will buy an M3 or M5. But in the meantime, don't spoil my fun and others like me by making this a game of let's chase out those who are lying. Just ignore them, and continue having fun and enjoying life by appreciating one of life's joys, the BMW M5.

enthusiasm is all that is needed surely, but you are right when you say the line was crossed when a photo of somebody else's car was shown.
Are they trying to kid themselves or others, or just having a laugh at some else's expense?
Many members can spot a faker from a mile off, they then stay away from that particular post.
Happy 2002.
