I think that's lextacy44's car. Not sure who (if it is him or not) posted that on the site though.

Yeah, I was just wondering if it was lextacy44 who posted the pics of his car on that Indonesian car site. I am 99% positive Lextacy44 is not an Indonesian and the pictures posted on that Indonesian car site had the watermarks removed by Photoshop. It was supposed to read "Import Speed South" or something.

Anyway, the guy who posted those pics on the site spoke Indonesian as noted on the "description" part.

Lextacy44, care to clarify? Or do you want me to report the fraud to the Indonesian site's webmaster?

The link didn't work for me, but I surfed through the site and found it.

Here is the link to Import Speed South with Carlos' car in it

http://www.importspeed-south.com/jan2001.htm

I'd just put a post up with a link to ISS with the question: "Are you Carlos?"

Yeah, I was hella surprised to see Carlo's car on a local Indonesian car site. I knew it was a fraud.

As an Indonesian, I feel ashamed about this matter, and I reported it to the webmaster already.

Damn this poseurs! I am sorry guys. I already reported the 2 frauds to the webmaster. A lot of the members from the Indonesian car sites also used to call the poseur's bluffs (some of them are as dumb as posting a pic of the Hamann Laguna Seca M3 and say that it's theirs!!!)


But this is unforgivable. I will get to the bottom of this.
