Are you kidding? All I read there of a gang of Subaru lovers constantly giving him grief for preferring air cooled and backing their arguments with pure cock and personal insults. Things have changed. The newer bus owner just likes the pretty shape bit can't live with the reality of what it is. Anything that gives them the character that attracted them in the first place they ridicule and aim to get rid of. Air cooled engine to water cooled Pump up window washer to electric Front seats to car seats Front suspension to wishbone Steering box to rack. Electric windows and central locking. What's left? A pretty shape. Not enough for me. It's my opinion that they chose the wrong vehicle, better to sell and buy what they really wanted in the first place - a modern camper. It would save them a lot of hassle. Do what you like to later models, they come with the character pre-removed anyway. It's not my opinion that they're ruining old classics, I couldn't give a shit about that, I just think they're deluded. Eventually most will sell them anyway claiming they're too small for two adults and one small child, or too unreliable, or whatever and move onto the next fad. They bought a dream of freedom that doesn't exist even with a Subaru engine in it. My van still has the quirks, if it didn't I wouldn't want it or I'd put them back. Edited as realised I can't be fucked! Tee-hee, nearly!

Tee-hee, nearly! View AttachmentHave you not got some carbs to tinker with rather than baiting our members! Yes indeedy, I have a new carb balancing gizmo but I've also got a shivery headache virus thing so I'm lounging and loafing in front of the stove trying to annoy Doug, Matt and Raymundo. 3 chaps who it's very difficult to bait successfully if it's even possible. I'll try to be more extreme next time. I was serious about monkeyman though, I tend to agree with his posts on the subject.

I'll try to be more extreme next time. I was serious about monkeyman though, I tend to agree with his posts on the subject. Yeah he may well have a valid point, my issue is how often he tries jamming it down peoples throats so he's still a cockwomble! We have a bloke at work, he's a new guy so don't really know him but he has an opinion on everything and believes he is right and that everyone should agree with him, the type that talks at you rather than too you! He's obviously not making a good impression as they're giving him all the crap jobs As I'm sure your aware I'm not an argument-able person normally (unless my thyroid flares up then I'm horrible to the point that even I notice it & take myself off to the doctors for another pointless round of blood tests with no actual conclusion or result) I find it easier to just ignore cocks like him but when I feel the need I take pot shots but I'm not as quick as I used to be... Monkeyvanwanker & nobody remind me of Rick & Doug (before he was a mod) both able to start an argument in a phone box but actually be 50 miles away when it kicked off with nobody knowing what or who caused it, I presume the T5 wind up doesn't work as none of us are really active there anymore so they have turned on the Scooby boys & when they disappear it will be something / someone else I suppose! Unfortunately it reminds me of my school years as the fat kid I took a lot of stick from probably a good 40% of the school for many years & it wasn't until one day after years of telling my mum and her saying she can't fight my battles for me that I snapped and smashed some kids face in removing three teeth two of which he swallowed. The next morning I was dragged before the head because his mum had been in and complained. I got a bollocking & was made out to be the bad one in it all, a teacher even used the term 'throwing my weight around' I fuckin hated school but to be fair the percentage of name callers reduced to just the ones who could run fast & even a couple of them I managed to corner on the bus one day and sent them home crying to their mummys, I'm really not a violent person but when I go I go... Anyways, hope you get better soon Steve, don't think I've commented on your thread but I do enjoy reading what bit you have changed etc. to achieve your perfect acceleration / mpg goal...

Monkeyface is odd. He keeps point scoring with me but I genuinely have no idea what heās talking about most of the time! On that thread I canāt even work out which side of the fence heās sitting in. One minute heās all āripped the heart out of itā the next heās listing the modifications to his bus. He also seems convinced that I know who and where he is (which I donāt!) Heās also got a long list of user names depending on when you check his ip. Cockwomble sums him up Robo: Good work!

I think some of them are giving him grief because that's what they like to do - they have history of that and now that their favourite 'targets' no longer post on there he's the next in line. Presumably aimed at me? There never have been and never will be targets! Some people just like to wave the victim flag hey chad?

Ah, how we all read this stuff differently! Nobody turns out to be great guy who knows his stuff. He's friendly and keen to help others. I have him booked to rebuild my old gearbox! I don't doubt monkey spanner is similar. On the opposite end we have moons, who's just plain nasty and cynical and never misses an opportunity to insult anyone who dares question his choices. And pickles who ran away from here because he can't live with criticism and now peeps out from behind moon's skirts where be feels safer.

I suspect he's much like your good self and simply enjoys the wind up while not really giving a fuck either way. š

Online persona and real life person are 2 different things. I think they both come across as complete tools but theyāre probably sound in real life. He still wonāt tell me why my choice infuriates him so much though!

He still wonāt tell me why my choice infuriates him so much though! Maybe he caught a fish once casting there and thinks it's a good spot for fishing. I should think you'd understand that? Or, as you say yourself "better an arse on the internet and ok in real life than the other way round".

I notice that people who actually know what they're talking about can be abrupt, nobody falls into that category IMO. They assume everyone should somehow know that they know their stuff and quit arguing, dirtying up the info with views they read somewhere. It's common!
I read a good one elsewhere today from a proven knowledgeable expert "I gave up arguing with fools on the internet because 99% of onlookers can't tell which of us is which". Made me laugh anyway.

I donāt think nobody is fishing. I think heās just one of these weirdos who doesnāt like people doing anything different to him. Heās been a cock since he joined. Itās not just the scooby thing.
