A great loss for the Jalop community.

1864 - 2014

First off, you're saying that someone who's 150 was on here?? And second, who's Gimmi?

I just noticed the other day that Goggles Pizzano hasn't been around in awhile. Hopefully they're both just too busy with real life.

he said he was an F1 engineer until the ripe age of 143

Old people don't lie

He even posted the same set of pictures from the 2008 chinese gp over and over.

There's no reasons to doubt, for me it was 100% legit

People tend to forget about online communities sometimes, their interests change and they move on. It's sad for the ones who are left, but unavoidable.

As an f1 engineer myself, I'm just going to post this picture over and over. All your arguments are invalid because fuck you that's all

Cannot tell if serious, and if not, you'll be dead by morning..

what do you mean ?

He even got an FP AMA

He's the largest troll of jalopnik ever.

We outed him over a year ago when we found he was a 34 years old guy from SF that somehow got a pitpass at the 2008 chinese gp.

Unfortunately, Porsche941624 was an oppo moderator at that time, and he really wanted to believe, so he deleted all of our proofs.

Meanwhile, -morgan808- Gimmi quickly deleted his twitter account, set up a new kinja account and denied everything. Good times.

I've only been around here 11 months, I haven't a clue who this person is/was. I know of the SR20 guy, but that's all. Is this "guy" worse?

Might not be dead, possibly just got sick.

he personified himfelf as an 83 years old retired F1 engineer at Sauber.

He was supposedly driving an s7 in LA but never posted any pictures.

He also owned numerous supercars, like more than Jay Leno, but couldnt post pictures because his brother was afraid to have them stolen.... In Sweden.

Hardigree gave him an ama based on this

He didnt answered fuck all

I think Goggles gets busy with life periodically.

After we switched to Kinja, he left for at least a year.

He posted some proof he was in Japan, and I'd love to believe.....

http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/in-japan-at-a-…

But from how he talks and posts about Comic Con, there's no way he's over 40.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Call out posts? Shit talking about the staff and moderators? Are you still upset? And for the record, I was just as involved with the damage control after your last attack as Porsche was. (ETA: Porsche is still the 'owner' of Oppositelock, just so you know)

Truthfully, I don't care one way or the other. I like Gimmi, regardless of who he is, or how old he is. He's had some great insights and wonderful taste in cars. Posts like this? This is bullshit. Do it again and you're out.

I believe Gimmi was a great Formula 1 Engineer, I asked him to do an AMA earlier this year. But, if you run a Google image search on those pictures you find

http://bit.ly/1DBM8Nx

http://afosi.exblog.jp/22429012/

A blog post from June of this year, meaning it was posted online two months "before" he "found it at a meet".

Is Kate right? :/

Raphmoe > Gamecat235 10/30/2014 at 08:39

What was the damage control? This is odd because earlier this year I had asked Gimmi some questions once I found out that he was a Formula 1 engineer with a wealth of knowledge and he ignored me.

Which F1 teams have you worked for?

It looks like you're currently working for the Mercedes Petronas team now. Who is the best driver to work with?

What's something we don't know about working in Formula 1 you'd like to share?

I've been threatened by the oppo supremo so I will hold off.

I don't want to become Oppo Aladeen.

I thought this was a community of Jalops; why are there "people in charge". That goes against everything this place stands for :(

oh damn, I was not aware of this...I also wanted to believe but I also avoid most of the oppo "sr20" style nonsense. You can take some solace in the fact that I am a 25 yr old car nut who has actually done all the stuff I post about :)

Because people come on here and act like they are someone else. Or pretend they are something they are not, and try to fool people. I think you might be familiar with this Raphmoe.

That is what makes this community so wonderful. We are all gear-heads passionate about cars in one way or another. I love everyone.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe 10/30/2014 at 09:44

But the community is less wonderful when people are being sly and lying / trying to mislead people. As I believe you are.

I'm completely mesmerized by this GIF. Not that it takes much. I actually saw it for the first time two weeks ago, and while I don't tend to like Disney films these days as a rule, that was a great little movie.

Just let it go. As Gamecat235 points out elsewhere in this post, call-outs, either in posts or comments, are not kosher, and absolutely not worth it. It's the interwebz. You're cool, so let the rest do their thing and don't worry about it.

Ya. This dude has irked me to no end, but I try to let it go.
