martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 Simon, please show the members respect by not referring to them as ' muppets ' and ' kids '. And lay off with the threats to ' hit the ban button '. Moderators should moderate...not be despotic. (and no, the " I just meant it to be tongue in cheek " rhetoric is not valid/ acceptable). Rolland, if you had spent any more than five minutes on here you would know what Simon is meaning by his comments.It would be wise for you to perhaps take a back seat and learn a little about people before firing off with your sarcastic remarks. Perhaps showing the same sort of respect you seem so desperate to get from everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be wise for you to perhaps take a back seat and learn a little about people before firing off with your sarcastic remarks. Perhaps showing the same sort of respect you seem so desperate to get from everyone else. Well, here we go. 1) you are out of order because you refer to me by name (and I do not even know you) and the protocol on international forums is to refer to people by their user name. 2) you are further out of order by making incorrect comments implying that I have not spent more than 5 minutes of my time contributing/ viewing this forum. You statement is invalid. 3) You wish to patronise me by suggesting that " it would be wise ....". You further make a personal attack at me by accusing me of " sarcastic remarks ". 4) you finish off your rhetoric by further attempts to patronise me with your statement " perhaps showing the same sort of respect you seem so desperate to get....etc " You sir are mistaken. If I were moderating this board I would ban you for a month on the spot. There is nothing at all that I have said that warrants your abuse. There is everything in international board rules that warrants you being displaced immediately. I have nothing more to say to you, other than, if this admin does not censor your outrageously obnoxious behaviour here then I will be absolutely amazed.

Mark 178 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 OSCAR, you are a troll. This thread will now be closed because of your pointless, arrogant and self-aggrandizing posts, which annoys me, because this thread was supposed to be about a car with an interesting history being restored to glory. I wish upon you the banstick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) IBTL - this in fact is getting out of hand. Hopefully this can get cleaned up (like some of the other threads recently), including this post which isn't adding a hell of a lot right now.

CamB 48 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 Oh I am confused. Can someone PM me the secret? On-topic ---> my car occasionally runs down a cylinder when cold but only if I've driven it a short distance recently (ie not warmed up properly). I put it down to that (could be a number of things - injector, valves not quite adjusted right, etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cale 36 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 I think this topic should be split, with a new Rides thread for Rays M3, what a load of Bulls**t. We're all her for the same reason (at least I think so ) Its running down the glory of Rays new M3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 Actually Ray should start a new thread anyway - this one spent 4-5 pages speculating on whether it was a good car for $8.5k (which was nowhere near the sale price anyway). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
