Post by scarscars »

Hi everyone Is it just me or is 80% off the ppl on here d**ks I only came on the forum to find more stuff out to show my car off. And to buy and sell things but all I've seemed to manage to do is p**s ppl off. If you ask a question I'd expect a answer in return not someone taking the water and I haven't ask a stupid question to get a stupid answer either. Then I get ask ppl for things for sale nd I get replys like this items to expensive for you its out of your budget... really how would you no you don't no me so why you being a d**k for... a really do not understand what all the bitchings about. Apart from this everyone else is top notch willing to help and give genuine advice just wounder if it's just me who gets this treatment or has anyone else had this problem with Mr no it alls. Sorry about the rant but some ppl boil my pi**

Take a breath man

Tbh i stopped reading after hi

Constructive criticism btw

My response to gauges was purely for the previous posters benefit. I apologise if i offended.

How ever on the price of things, several of us have responded to "wanted " requests by yourself, to only be hit by a barrage of what is effectively a case of the "cheapskates"

But thats just my honest opinion, of course everyone is entitled to pay a little or as much as they want for this in life.

I think this is the problem with the written word in general, its very easily taken the wrong way/not the way it was intended.

I have innovate mtd gauages, check my n261 thread for details

Boost/shift
Water temp/volts
Oil pressure/temp

Boost is currently retailing at approx £130
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INNOVATE-MTX- ... 43b01d0f5f

Oil is currently approx £150
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INNOVATE-MTX- ... 46046ced87

Water is currently approx £125
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INNOVATE-MTX- ... m46040a6c8

Are these the sort of thing you are looking for?
If not simplest and most effective answer is easy =ebay

First off all give it back :lol:

Second I would think if you have problem that's why the admin are there because frankly i have read both the threads and it's aimed at a certain goaty :lol: so making this thread is basically the same as the other person/s threads

So if you have a problem try to make up/kiss if not contact admin

Useless thread

Consider it an initiation ceremony.

We all like a bit of banter, after all if we took life too seriously then we wouldn't be driving Rovers :lol:

If you think this banter is offensive never go anywhere where there is a large group of blokes, as banter usually follows and it can get pretty offensive.

I've never had a problem on RT. However, what you describe is generally known as 'the internet'. EVERY forum, and I do mean EVERY forum is pretty much the same. Text is easy to read out of context as there are no tell tale emotions that you get when speaking to someone face to face.

I've found RT to be very helpful, everyone I've dealt with in regards to buying/selling have been great and I've always found the answers I need here.

Its just bant mate, those giving it generally have been the most generous and helpful to the extreme when help is needed so dont rule the site out because of a misunderstanding..

I must admit Rovertech is a eclectic mix of people which is a good thing really... BUT, less than 1% of the threads I have come across on here have been detrimental in any shape or form!

I can deal with banter lol
I just took it out of context.. really should read post replys late at night after a shyt day at work haha

And the cheap thing about the alternator was simply the fact I didn't want to pay 80+ for a second hand one I could buy one new for that ha I even had someone pm me asking 140 for a second hand one off a 620 so when ever I'd post anything I wanted I put no silly prices at the end lol
Don't get is wrong I'll pay for anything if i want it/need it but I wouldn't expect to pay rrp on second gdgd goods that was all.

And about telling admin haha I'm not in infant school. A just took things out if context on a very late night after a crappy day at work.

We're all bffs now hahaha

The £80 was only technically 2nd hand as it was not suitable and therefore wasnt used, and if it was purely for seconds

So thats a bit of a inaccurate claim

£140

Has to be something thats was "lost in translation"

I hope

Pussies don't like dicks because pussies get trollied by dicks. But dicks also bother assholes. Assholes that just want to logger on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can bother a chocolate starfish is a inflatable dinghy, with some balls. The problem with dicks is they bother too much or bother when it isn't appropriate. And it takes a lion o to show them that.

But sometimes pussies can be so full of logger that they become assholes themselves. Because pussies are a inch and half away from assholes. I don't know much about this crazy crazy world, but I do know this. If you don't let us bother this chocolate starfish we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in logger.

In regard to the OP, yeah most of us are dicks. But in a good way :lol: best thing to do is post a g0at meme and get on with it :thumbup: but if you have a serious problem with someone, send an admin a message.
