does anyone personally know jranmann from this forum.is post

Ranman

Don't know him personally, but have spoken to him on the phone a couple of times.
He set me up with a gentleman from England that had parts for my sunroof and I was very pleased with the deal.
 
Don't know him...but he was willing to get together socially if I ever passed his way. Curious..why do you ask?
I look at e9ners like blue whales...they are so few and so far apart its a miracle they ever meet in the ocean.

There actually is a reason why Eric here (SirShorty) is asking for my bona fides here...and since he has failed to explain (and I do understnd why) his question ... I will do so in part now and likely Eric will post again tomorrow to explain it himself....

Eric is a stand up guy and has now more facts than he had at a quarter past one today when he posted this...I do hope he understands that my revealing some of the drama we both experienced yesterday if he fails to do so himself is peraps the best to handle his concerns (and mine as my honesty is somewhat in question and that concerns me greatly)

Suffice it to say for now that a set of curious events, inspired by the 2 sellers of the Silver Coupe pictured below is simply an effort on my part to dispel any hint of impropriety, given the fact that Eric did pay me for my time and the expense of inspecting the Coupe personally.

I will give it until tomorrow morning and then post here the complete series of events, once I have had time to speak with Eric again and offer the chance for he himself to explain here instead of doing it myself.

All I can say stay tuned, as it's a very interesting and somewhat odd scenario that I am chomping at the bit to reveal but also without hurting anyone's feelings or causing harm to the innocent parties involved...

Facts! Chief inspector Cluseau exposing the drama behind this most complex case. Facts. The car had two owners: Miguel and Maria Gambrelli. Facts. The instrument picture shows the engine is running. Facts. The P light means that the car wasn't moving, so why is the engine at 1200 RPMs if the car isn't moving Cato? The engine is being revved to muffle the sound of a weapon Cato. The car is listed low attracting a gazillion lowballers to leave their fingerprints on the crime scene. Is Jranmann wearing surgeon gloves just to check what comes out the exhaust? Does he know Maria Gambrelli from before? The red color on the rear shock towers does not match the paint code in the door jamb, but it matches blood red, not a factory color, Cato. This car Cato hides a crime, or worse, an AAMCO repaint.
 
Update: I just realized that most of you have actually seen me in the flesh, if that counts for anything....at least I am one of the few that actually has posted a photograph of themself.

I seem to recall this incident last month, where lack of integrity caused a pal and myself a great deal of grief the morning before I discovered that my stewardship of the orange e24 cooling fan in my Sixer has suddenly come to a grinding halt as some expert has infromed me that BMW never isntalled Orange fans in any of their cars...

Suddently I was enlightened to find PM's and posting offering me their spare orange 9 blade ratiator fan andI began to feel better...later I would recall this feelig of comaraderie and kinship, felt at peace with the world and was able fall asleep shortly after in snap this picture that indeed shows that I have a face!

As Abe says....

Truthfully i think the drama happened before I even visited the car... Evidently the 2 parties (brother and sister) were not on the same page and some wise person took advantage of that weak moment in time...maybe I should inquire about my clients more but Eric seems pretty cogent to me and is just like the rest of us careful to explore and also getting a masters degree in Ferric Oxide mitigation. The interesting part of this Dramalog is that Eric now believes that I am just an expert in photoshop and actually charged him to inspect the car and truthfully never went to see it! How is this possible...?

Arrgh!

The ebay advert pix for the this dramacar!

lol! and that the dual photos below actually would be nearly impossible to photoshop (Hayes, Jumpers,Nachtblue hinges, etc)
Clouseau (Arde) I did notice the speedo but when i heard it run it wasn't idling anywhere near 900 let alone 1200...interesting!
(PS I myself am now wondering if you are actually Steve Jobs, hiding out in Cupertino and impersonating an average 'Joe' simply to enjoy nice BMW chit chat?)

The question I have is who are the Gambrellis??? Or, is/was this car actually a stolen vehicle and Tony and Natalie are really the maid and butler?
Cheers everyone and may the best detective here win!

So now we are calling this car "illegal" and "undocumented"....just because it crossed the border to Kalifornia.

Facts! The deux owner theory est confirme'. Menage a deux. Like many others, she wants rid of the Coupe time and money sink Cato, Miguel doesn't take orders, has the Coupe resprayed in a different color and, Voila'. Parks it two blocks away hoping to fool her. But Maria Gambrelli can tell the M30 roar from a mile away. The plot thickens, but trunk pictures tell Cluseau tout de meme, meet at the beach after work, apply superconductive goo to victim as tanning lotion, fake second car doesn't start, ask victim to connect jumper cables, keep Coupe running, and Coupe de grace: connect jumper cables to distributor instead of battery. Le haute voltage est arrive.
A plot true to the motto of our Republique, Cato: Liberte', Egalite', Electrocute'.
 
still available??

Hi,
Does anybody know if the the car is still available?? The listing was ended early. Do you have any more photos by any chance? Is there a phone number to call the owners?
 
Since I am the only living human outside of a small cadre of the Asian community of Garden Grove that has ever actually seen this vehicle outside of it's locked storage garage...My information is that the car was NEVER available and likely it is sitting in a police impound yard as we speak....call them!
:mrgreen:

Menage a deux

Methinks Cato is correct, brorther owed sister money, she took it as collateral...then tried to sell it...someone noticed the car on ebay and she is dragged into his sordid ways kicking and screaming...! Hence my comment the 'drama' happened long before I got there to inspect it...bummer for Eric but he fails to
realize what you already surmised is that now my fingerprints are all over the car and I expect a call from the LAPD any day now!

Ta!

hahaha

This is funny - you have a real talent for this !!
 
...Parks it two blocks away hoping to fool her. But Maria Gambrelli can tell the M30 roar from a mile away....


Since Deputy Inspector Ran did hear the engine run (and the sound reminded me of a very sick (4 cyl) 2002) I doubt seriously that the roar in Ms. Gambrelli's ears was anything more that her brain's reaction to the dose of heroin she had quickly injected while briefly out of sight of the Danish agent nearby....Who could have possibly known that the State of Garden Grove was teetering on the brink of disaster? (Not to mention becoming so rottingly infested with Foreign spies...)


This is one time when the popular misquotation—"Something's rotten in Denmark"—is a real improvement on the original. But you ought to be careful around purists, who will also remember that the minor character Marcellus, and not Hamlet, is the one who coins the phrase. There's a reason he says "state of Denmark" rather than just Denmark: the fish is rotting from the head down—all is not well at the top of the political hierarchy.

There have been some hair-raising goings-on outside the castle at Elsinore. As the terrified Horatio and Marcellus look on, the ghost of the recently deceased king appears to Prince Hamlet. The spirit beckons Hamlet offstage, and the frenzied prince follows after, ordering the witnesses to stay put. They quickly decide to tag along anyway—it's not "fit" to obey someone who is in such a desperate state. In this confused exchange, Marcellus's famous non sequitur sustains the foreboding mood of the disjointed and mysterious action. And it reinforces the point and tone of some of Hamlet's earlier remarks—for example, that Denmark is "an unweeded garden" of "things rank and gross in nature" (Act 1, scene 2). When his father's ghost tells him his chilling tale in scene 5, the prince will realize just how rotten things really are in Denmark.
