Title: Who the hell is FastFred?
Post by: bob.dent on 14 December 2010, 10:02:16
Not for the first time, I've received the following PM from someone called FastFred
Hey you bobdent,

I challenge you to a race, how's about Saturday morning?

Always the same message and never answers any reply I send and I've never seen any posts by him before so is someone winding me up?? ::)
Wonder if anyone's ever told him that racing on public roads is prohibited - maybe he's hired out Brands Hatch for the day! ;D

I think you should challenge him to a race. I'm itching to see this 2002 3.6 MV6 Irmscher Estate.  8-)

Bob, it's obvious to me that the message has come from the Top Gear production team auditioning for the new Stig...

...someone's put your name forward. ;)

Hmmm......looks like you admin guys know something but you ain't gonna spill. However, starting to think maybe a certain member not too far from me in the London area might be up to tricks, :-X

The mystery of FastFred has been solved. 8-) Found him out with a little help with IP address locations from MDTM and it turned out to be a prankster who works in my office. Now he can't work out how I cottoned on to him. :D
Was a good ruse and had me going for a while. ::)

Yes, we had worked it out a day or 2 ago....

Knew you were on the same IP, so suspected the kids initially, then you mentioned youtube and work...

And the jigsaw fitted together nicely  :y

amazing fastfred has been on the site so long though

Yes, he said he first registered ages ago with the intent of a wind up then he forgot all about it until recently. When he originally registered he used a proxy server which is why it looked like the location was Hampshire.
