Are the antics of some traders ruining this forum ?

Are some of the traders spoiling your enjoyment of this forum ?

High time that all involved simply let their products do the talking

I would like to think that the general forum membership will take the chance to take part in this anonymous poll.

Perhaps it will send a strong message to all involved so as this forum can at least have some chance of returning to normal.

EDIT

After receiving personal threats, much of the content of this post have been removed for my own personal safety

+1 let's use this forum for what it was intended

Well Ronnie aside from the rant I find that very informative, as a newish member I have always wondered who was who and who was responsible for what. You have cracked haynesvinci code for me.

Hi Ronnie,

I've never really been one to get involved with forum politics but this time I feel I need to have my say, I've had a good look back though all my posts and as far as I can see the only thing I've said that is even remotetly negative is that I posted that the geometry isn't ideal and there is room to make improvements.

On the whole I like to keep my replies to the helpful type, like suppling people with the information (or drawings) they require, or sometimes a bit of a joke.

The above quote, which i read as a distinct poke at me personnally, is completely unfounded. Yes, I am heavily involved with Vodou, and yes I am developing new products, however somethings, as you must appreciate, take time to test thoroughly, only when I'm happy do I release them. I have a reputation for being fussy and work on the "would I be happy fitting them to my car?" school of thought. I just don't do "that'll do!" Sorry if that delays products coming to market or doesn't fit in with your "I want to see it now!" wishes, but that's just the way I am.

I still whole heartedly support the Haynes Roadster (and have done since it started), if I didn't, do you think I would have spent the last 6 months working on new products to make the build process easier or improve the function of certain aspects of the car? Time is the most precious thing in life and I don't waste it on things that I don't believe in!

And despite the opening line "It is not my intention to slight any particular trader on this forum" It certainly reads like you have only one company in mind when you typed this.

Kindest Regards

There is a very good reason that I don't give sneak previews of my work anymore; those of you interested might like to check out the development work I originally put into the MX5 conversion here:

http://www.mx5-locost.co.uk

I wonder if you might recognise that design, oh and please note the dates.

According to the how many being built poll there are over 200 cars on the go or very soon to be started. Thats the poll only without those that dont bother with the forum .That is a shed load of customers for the suppliers and a fair bite of the apple for those that can get their act together. Even a lean build at 2k to 3 k puts this industry at 600k over a couple of years without whats going on in the locost world. Pull together chaps.

Here we effin go again I’ve not been around long enough to know what any issues are on this particular forum , but I have been involved in differing forums for the last 20yrs and one thing I have learned…..this kind of tit for tat banter is actually beneficial for the survival of clubs/associations/support groups…..etc….peeps will, be more interested in bad shit than good shit.
I came and joined this forum for one thing only and that was to gleen as much knowledge and info as possible to help me progress in the task of building a CHEAP sports car for on the road and to this ends the forum is very good at supplying the aforementioned
As for silly peeps who seem to take pleasure from upsetting peeps,I do not have time nor will I ever entertain them…….. to stand back and laugh at their antics and stumblings does increase the entertainment value, but you are truly sad if you actually gain any kind of pleasure from trying to push any kind of critisism of products or services.
mistakes and incorrect procedures are already picked up and to that end it is called constructive critisism.....EEERRRRR HELLO....I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A SPORTS CAR THANK YOU, CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME GET ON WITH IT
