This guy on ebay is using my pics and he used the wrong one. What a moron.

You'd better. People are betting on that thing, whatever kind of engine he might actually have...

How you've been Mark?

Mark! Good to see you here buddy.

Argh. I hate that. Someone used one of my members rides pix to sell their i lip. He said he'd take it off, but never did. Ask Pete, oreogabrio, he updated me on the auction still being up.

At least it was actually a picture of the correct thing in my case. But some shady mother used YOUR picture incorrectly. What a dumbshit. Post up that email. I can't believe it.

Hey Fred and Michael.

It's really cool to see that so many guys are still out there. I'm getting back into the e30 thing after focusing on a house purchase and other things last year. Once the weather clears up in Cleveland I'll be back in my element driving around in my e30.

I think I'm going to bring the auction to ebay's attention. He hasn't emailed me yet.

I saw an ebay auction for a headlight conversion kit a few months ago where somebody did that. They got owned big time. Instead of copying the images and uploading them to his own server the moron just hotlinked to the pics he wanted. The owner of the pics and of course the pictured car heard about it and had some fun. He replaced all the images of his Camaro and its clean headlight conversion with a bunch of pics of horribly done conversions, MSPaint edits showing the conversion, and general insults to the seller. If he's linking straight to your site do the same thing.

Did you see what the seller put at the end of the discription

DUH! I ATTACHED THE WRONG PICTURE TO THE FILE! THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE M20 COMING OUT OF MY E30, NOT OF THE M50 FOR SALE IN THIS AUCTION. SORRY! EMAIL ME FOR PICS....

[Cre8tivPro]

did he hotlink to your pics? if so, I'd swap in something else. if not, there's not much you can do about it
maybe Jordan has what you need

judging by the little camera in the corner it looks like the guy uploaded it to Ebay

cheap man.. for how much $$ it is at right now, something isnt right

[bimmer8604]

id say if you could, replace the pic of something grotesque(sp) but you get the idea.

That would piss me off, too.
