But you cannot find a single thing to forward to me that was'bad'.
Now there's a surprise also.

Well?
Nothing coming through.


Was Palmy given the same nonsensical reasons for being banned?
What did he do?
Post without correct punctuation?

If you recall i was always trying to get a fun meeting going within the other side.
We can't all be the same matey, thank God some of us actually live for today and want to enjoy life and people to the full.
You have got this one wrong, but never mind.

Hey George, come and check out one of our meetings, meet my friends, see some very nice cars and come out in the BMW M3 CSL.
Have some toast and tea afterwards!

A better explanation has just been sent privately to you.
REPLY to me.

Biggbn, i have/had no problem with you, but someone said to me last night that you have become just another person's puppet instead of being your own man and it looks rather like they could be right, unfortunately.

There WERE no bad mails, they were either funny circulars or offers to meet up, as hundreds of us do in various car circles very regularly.

If that sounds strange, well fine. The thirty eight car fanatics at the car meet i arranged last week are strange people in your book then! Whatever mate!

TVR T350C. 2 TVR Cerberas. 2 M3 CSLs. 4 Lancer Evos. 2 Porsche 911s. Just a few of those which went.

I did not say that I agree with "Grip", just that his post required a proper response. The illogical and paranoid ramblings I got in response from "Bamford" are the strangest thing I have ever seen on an internet forum, which is supposed to be the free exchange of ideas and opinions. To tar everyone who disagrees with you (which I didn't) with the same brush and to be so dismissive is ludicrous. I am suprised that your behaviour has not led to you being banned.
Reading through the rest of the thread, it seems that "Bamford" could start an arguement in a telephone box.
I for one will now avoid the 4Car forum, and stick to the other areas of the C4 forums.

You don't need to 'agree' with him, you ARE him.
As we all suspected.
You just confirmed it, although i am not telling you how. Work it out, eh? Wink

Tell you what, come back later with your 30th name, but with a more thought-out approach mate, you are FAR too easy to spot still.

Whats the point in all this multiple name, trouble causing on Forums? havent some people got a real life to take up their time so they have to invent another? mind you that must be true as they have sites like second life where you can do just that. Why then cant the car enthusiasts amongst us be left in peace to enjoy our hobby without being slated.

Right im off to play with my Stang!

Craig, you only need to remove the 30-namer and all would be well.
But like a bad penny, it will always be coming back, i fear.

I just find it rather disturbing Bamford that anyone would want to sit at their computer making a life up and going round forums causing trouble. There are some very very sad and lonely individuals in this world!

indeed have read the fuller explanation. They should make it easier for people to be prosecuted for cyber stalking!

At one point it went far deeper than just multi-names, Craig.
You would be horrified to know what other stuff went on.
I am not prepared to go into that here however.
Suffice to say that it was most unpleasant.

MY opinion biggbn, is that you are a decent and fun guy, if i though different i would tell you so. Here or in person. It is how i am.
BUT.............you are as capable of a mistake as the rest of us and have, indeed, made a couple recently.
IMHO.

At least he hasn't lost the plot and gone completley power crazy, Bamford, unlike some other people assosciated with ths board.

You know things must be getting pretty bad when you start banning by assosciation, even when your own moderators are telling you how stupid it is!

Back on topic.
I spoke to the owner today and put across, very gently, my concerns regarding the car's statistics.
"Drive it". That was the reply.

He has recorded almost identuical times in it to his pal's Caterham R500 at Brands Hatch and Snetterton.

To me that is quick enough.

A Westfield with the 2 litre pinto engine has a 0-60 of 5.5 secs (if you can get good traction) and a top speed of 113mph. That is undoubtedly quick, but short of Maclaren F1 pace.

Mind, hauling an engine weighing 418 kgs ( Wink), it's a wonder it moves at all.

132.5 bhp
393kgs

Noxide, what were those figures again?

I know the system was shown to be accurate when we tested them against 3 different tuned cars we had seen official, independantly tested figures for.
