I received the same e-mail from the obviously the same guy, as he referred to
my car as a boat also. He got my information from Triumphowners.com and I'm
sure it's a scam. I have no interest in selling my car and I certainly would
not entertain selling it to someone that referred to it as a "boat"!!!
