Interesting :)

Yes, a lightweight beryllium alloy would make sense. That would explain the super quick dead stop when you reset to zero.

Also a copper-beryllium alloy would explain why the Everose rbow gets ‘Everose’ hands while non-Everose models get painted hands instead.

OK, this was to add to the Platona so two different rainbows make no sense. The difference in the marker diamonds are pretty obvious. The question is if this sort of behavior is punishable on the forum?

Now there's a Daytona Rainbow to go with the Ice

This is what I don’t understand.

How much time did this person waste on researching and finding these pics, coming up with a story and then posting this attempted elaborate ruse over multiple weeks?

Who has that kind of time!?

Why on earth would anyone take that kind of time!?

If it’s trolling what does it get you? In the end that’s kid stuff, adults shouldn’t have time to “troll” and should be mature enough to have at least a halfway legitimate conversation.

I have never and will never understand why an adult trolls anyone using fake anything.

Mod’s, I am curious if the IP address comes back to another recently outed troll that hasn’t responded to questions about a handed down truck in his thread but hasn’t been banned either.

Nevertheless, I hope most of us are better than this and we can move forward with less of this nonsense.

in a previous post he claimed he's either a spec ops and/or clandestine svc. operator working in and out of conflict zones in Africa.....and posted a generic picture; highly suspect, if you ask me!

he's probably playing out a james bond fantasy.

Yep - now that he’s caught lifting photo’s for a tall tale with no cred - he is likely trying to craft some backstory.
