It has the potential to be a very quick car..cant wait till he finishes it. :eek: :eek:

Thanks Walrus

Thanks for all your Help, Dont think i would of got a saturday MOT booked anywhere else with 24 hours notice.

Dont listen to the haterz on here, not many zoners would be willing to help as much as you have helped me.

Nice one Gary :cool: :cool:

this bloke is also going to drive a car back for me on friday on his trade plates, this will take most of the day and it's a favour .

the favour will be returned when i can,that goes without saying.

not many on here would do that now would they :roll:

Awesome stuff!
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Yeah, I think it's fair to say that when he's not sending threatening and/or abusive emails to half the forum, he's probably a really nice guy.

i think its a bit of an exaggeration what your saying...yes i got a bit heated with a couple of zoners for making personal comments about me that were just not true. Ive sorted that out and made and received apologies for what was said in the heat of the moment.

i just dont like being called a bullshitter or a liar as its just not true..in fact the opposite..im too honest with people at times and upset people now and then because of it.

ive never said anything negative about anyones car or there taste in wheels or anything. I have however been flamed to a silly degree about my cars, lifestyle, business's and my personality from people who just dont know me.

Nothing ive ever typed on here has been anything but the stone cold boring truth.

If the few zoners including you would just back off a little and take a bit of time to let me settle in then that would be great. I would appreciate it.

Would you like to apologise for the signature referring to me that you displayed for the best part of a week?

errrm ..no..not at this point...i would happily apologise if there was even a notion that you regretted any of your shitty comments or accusations against and towards me.

If you feel like being a man and exchanging apologies then thats fine...im very happy and willing to do so. Then we can both get on with being E30 enthusiasts and move on from this whole boring episode.

just let me know :cool: :cool:

You were definitely one of the flaming mob in the topic about tech1 sports I removed from this forum, and you are now actively popping up on all sorts of posts carrying on like an idiot (with a small group of other idiots).

Go and find something else to do, any more of this nonsense and you and your happy gang will start spending time being unable to get on to the forum.

Walrus, just ignore these empty barrels.... winkeye
thank you for your support

Driving an M30 without PAS you end up with forearms like this geezer.
