This has just been posted by Chris Rae on another forum, and I think is hilarious...

Post 1: "The claim"
Hello everyone! I did
[6]
[7]
[8]
minutes around the ring,
[on my first lap]
[on my first day]
[before I crashed]
[after two pints]
and I'm wondering whether this is
[any good]
[a world record]
[impossible]
Post 2: "The welcome"
Hi!
welcome to the list. That sounds an extraordinary lap time -
[what car were you driving?]
[what exactly are you timing?]
[are you a racer?]
[are you a liar?]
Post 3: "The detail"
Hello - to clarify, I was driving a standard spec
......... [car name here]
on street tyres. I have been to the ring
[once]
[twice]
[for a year, in Gran Turismo]
so this is a good lap time, huh?
Post 4: "The denial"
Hello. Yes, that certainly seems like a very good lap time - if it's
right then you're faster than
[the ring taxi]
[Horst von Saurma]
[HJ Stuck]
[Stefan Roser]
[Dirk Schoysman]
[Stefan Bellof]
[Ross in a rental]
perhaps you
[made a mistake timing it]
[don't have a standard spec car]
[were on racing tyres]
[were on Toyo Proxes]
[are one of those people]
[are a lying tart]
Post 5: "The proof"
Nope, it's definitely true. My lap was timed by
[the video I took]
[Autosport]
[Dirk Schoysman]
[Stefan Bellof]
[Ross, who's on crutches right now]
it was so fast that I
[overtook the ring taxi]
[locked up going into Aremberg]
[went flat out past the Breidscheid exit]
[went flat out past some marshals at an accident]
[went flat out as soon as the barrier went up]
[didn't lift through Fuchsrohre]
[took off at Quiddelbacher Hohe]
[took off at PF2]
[almost lost it at Schwedenkreuz]
[almost hit a bike]
[dropped oil everywhere]
Post 5: "The refute"
Okay, you do appear to have a genuine lap time, but
[you sound like you must have been driving like an arse]
[you were driving like an arse on the video]
[it's illegal to time laps]
[you're not allowed to video]
[you're an arse on some other message board]
[you did it on Touristfahren so it's not a lap record]
[you're a danger to society]
[you're well beyond your limits]
[you have stupid hair]
