MINICHAMPS FOGGY TEST BIKE-UPDATE

Jasper · 23-May-2005, 19:11

Here is an update for those of you bored with DD

I have Received 2 e-mails today fro Minichamps.The first saying remove our e-mail address or we remove the auction,the second saying it's wrong described:
"
Hi i am from www.minichamps.com and have spoke to the Minichamps factory about this bike.You are misleading people by saying this model is a test bike it is a hand sample of the 99 bike.Itwas used to check the transfers for 99 fogery bike.You should change the discription to "hand sample" Martin

Why the Bloody hell didn't they just say what it was in the first place.I did state it was a handsample in the description,but not the title.Now i've got bids on the bike i can't edit it,so have added Minichamps' comments.Not sure how many people will pull out of the auction,but i have to give them the chance.I still might end up keeping it!

"minichamps.com" is a UK seller and nothing to do with the factory as such. Not sure why they're getting so uptight about it.

Fair enough about the email address for the factory though.

At £380 it's raised quite a bit of interest!

Why dont Minichamps just buy the bike off of you and then they can put to rest this model. They are really pi**ing around with this, not what you would call a well organised outfit.

Are you sure they're not part of the Ducati empire???

I think that someone at minichamps is telling porky pies!!!!

If it was a test bike for Foggy stickers why would they use green, white and black on the nose and the seat. If they were trying his stickers they would surely be green, white and red

IMO I think they must be trying to hide something but then that is only my oppinion.
