WHO'S WHO

Young eyes

This is a well done hack though. I feel quite sure I have seen this seller when shopping for small motorcycles. I saw it when it came up,figured they'd get a pile of nibbles asking for better pics and vin data.

Mike, all those red cars blur together to some of us seasoned citizens, at least me. The lack of detailed pics and just plain old details were odd from the get go.

It does seem odd that the seller can't figure out how to cancel the auction, yet he can add to the description and add the warning. Cancelling an auction is as easy as adding his warning. The first questions would have flooded to the hacked guys in box, giving earlier warning. Who is taking cover in the shadows? the the ebay seller or the hacker, could be one in the same guy.

Any exposure is good exposure, even a hack.

Well, the fine folks (24 so far) who think they are about to purchase a sharp Tiger very reasonably (15,000 so far) might tend to disagree with this being good exposure. I surely hope anyone purchasing a Tiger will use the CAT forum and all the wonderful resources that are available to future Tiger owners. I for one truly appreciate all the "inspections" CAT members do to police an inherently dangerous item, (our Tigers) which is how this thread started.

Damn right! Back when I was looking for my car I considered what appeared to be a beautiful blue Tiger only to find out later that it was a well-done conversion offered for sale by a very unscrupulous fellow.
 
Clones?

:)All Tigers are converted Alpines (remember immatateion is the most sincere form of flattery)

Over the last few seasons, I supplied all the conversion parts to a gentleman who simply wanted to build his own. Not cheap by any means, and probably could have found a good driver for far less spending. The correct Alpine Ser # and SAL # are retained plus my little hidden stampings on the parts for good measure. Much like a ground-up tub or rat rod, the hobby and fun survive . . . . . . .

Wow,Sherlock Holmes doesn't have a thing on our Norm Miller!! I enjoyed the CBS remake of Holmes a few months back.. and wasn't Holmes played by a Miller, a Johnny Miller. HMMM, perhaps a coincidence you say..:cool:
