You can't be judging this on the very poor grasp of the english language?
Although it is obvious that English is the authors second or even third language, it is still better than several forum members who are not only born here but also"educated" in this country as well. At least he is not"rite'n" in txt speak. :lol: :lol:
You are right though it does sound very suspicious especially the delivery side of things.

Nah.. grasp of the english language isn't the problem.

its the fact its blue, yet the blue didn't come to Aus in 04 or 05 and its is original, not resprayed, as per his reply..

and he will deliver it, no pick up.. and I'm sure that will be after payment is received.. :shock:
