Wow, I just had to share this with someone. I'd forgotten that I had up a
web page with a For Sale ad for a Spitfire belonging to a friend of mine.
(AFAIK, the car is no longer for sale, and that web page is now down.)
Not that I'm at all suspicious about this particular e-mail (nudge, nudge,
wink, wink). OK, I'm suspicious! :-)
Below is, verbatim, his message (upper case and all) except for information
in brackets [], where I have edited out information that might identify this
undoubtedly trustworthy (yeah, right) would-be purchaser of fine motorcars.
I guess what really gets me is the request for a digital view of my
location. Hmmm, now where is that one I actually found on a web site I'd
stumbled
across awhile back, but.....WAIT A MINUTE! I mean, couldn't I simply give
directions once I'd made a deal? Hmmm....
I don't believe I will respond to this one.... ;-)

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
