Basically - a guy came onto pistonheads saying that a female friend of his is about to arrange a date with a guy who has been claiming on his myspace-esque site that he's a Renault F1 test driver amongst other racing claims (including pictures) and she wanted those claims verified...

Watch how they pull his story (and pictures) to pieces.....

Wikipedia entry made me laugh.

oh...dear

Hilarious

Too GOOD

he still lives at home with his mum, but rents his F1 players Crib/flat out because he doesnt like living alone...



Languages: Other, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, English.

Why dutch?

I think dutch is one that isn't related too the rest in otherwords spanish and portuguese is v similar, german is aparently easy to learn but dutch is v hard and not similar too the rest. Unless he's a bike racing, world beeting car driver with the time to learn 7 languages?

I don't think so.

dutch is a mix of german and english.....

if you undertsand both, you will find dutch pretty easy to learn/understand......

It gets better - now they've got his email, home address and telephone number (he lives with his mum!)

They've emailed the details to Scott Mills @ Radio 1 in the hope that he'll do one of his on-air outings with him.

i [i]almost[/i] feel sorry for him...


...nah!

Oh dear .... how funny is that !!

That is fantastic! I sure hope that does make it onto the radio.........

The only thing that does bother me though is that sometimes this much attention does end up with the person becoming famous (big brother for example) and that's exactly what this loser doesn't deserve.....

Its one of those "I'll get my coat" stories

nah, its one of those...." ill go and get some popcorn, put me feet up and await the outcome"....kinda stories

I wonder if he will emigrate, once this is truly out in the open, or does he suffer from Ostrich head in sand syndrome as well as being a Walter Mitty character

LMFAO,

I especally like the Wikipedia entry.
I don't listen to scott mills, but if he does do it, its got to be on a podcast.
I'll await further info...

i also like this picture of the f1 racer....
