    Okay I think you're turning a little stalkerish with all this quoting from different threads.

    And I'm sorry but that last thing you quoted was just crying out to be said, if I hadn't said it someone else would have!


    The bottom line is that you said it.

    If this sort of behaviour continues the forum will probably have to close, seen it before with other places.

    Do hope you guys take notice and try to curb the poor behaviour.

    Have a look at the Fiat clutch thread, the OP has a problem with a new Fiat, 6 months old and the clutch has gone. From his description:

    "Got picked up from just off the motorway after I suddenly couldn't get it into gear. Thought it was very strange as no pre warning."

    This is not a description of clutch that's worn due to bad driving it's probably a mechanical fault.

    When reading through the replies he gets some good advice and he gets a lot insults.













    A terrible way to treat a new member looking for advice :mad:

    and I PM'd the OP a link to get more free advice
    so far as i know,days later the OP hasnt taken that advice

    Can't a guy point out that a username has been spelled incorrectly any more!?

    The world has gone mad!

    That's not the point, the point is so what if the name is spelt wrong, it had nothing to do with the OP problem.

    Sometimes though a nice smiley can determine a bit of a giggle and just a pure sarky post. So I'll add mine, just so with the mood I'm in :D

    A truly frightening vision of what may come to pass.

    I do agree with that, the place definately won't close because of a few inappropriate comments/posts.
