ditto,

my view for what its worth (not directed at anyone BTW)

companies should either

1. use the forum to promote your business and be very selective over other engagement. Its a marketing chanel but one that needs to be used carefully due to the open nature of a forum.

2. use it as a personal forum for banter, discussion.

don't mix the two. If you use it for 1 you have to accept people may say bad things or critise now and then, its an open forum that stuff happens, its not nice just ignore it and focus on the delivery of good stuff. Its kind of like dancing with the devil

Forums are a form of social media, a very powerful marketing tool like twitter and facebook. Use them wrongly and they bite!

Sincere appologies to all, including Phil,

I shouldnt have been a twat, and theres no excuse and now i feel like a complete tosser but i deserve it

On happier note, i was naughty for the weekend, i didnt take it off exactly but i worked on the roadster to get it finished.

Just needs (i say just but "justs" seem to take forever and cost a fortune!)

Tyres popping off and wheels refurbing
Interior footwell panels
edge trimming all over
front wings taking off and fixing properly with some carbon jobbies
bit of wiring (actually alot!)
Roll cage needs coating (gonna do that tonight)
Steering rack and new rod ends refitting
Few interior fittings to finish
IVA


Il pop some photos up later, ive just got to finish this body kit and wipe all the dust off the car!

Well done Nat......it takes a real gadgy to do what you have just done..... Kudos to you bud, I'm sure that Phil will do the same and we can all get stuck back into important stuff like helping each other to keep the Haynes marque going and for some to earn a living from it side by side.

Ditto the above,the only place for sniping is a war zone and this forum is not one.

Takes a lot of bravery and honesty to admit your faults and I admire that

Will try and pop over next week sometime to have a look at bumblebee and maybe get some suspension brackets off you if you have any in

as promised, sorry they were taken on the mobile i cant find my charger for the camera. A lot of finishing to do but its nearly there, just trying to find the time to spend on it at the moment, sort of giving myself an hour each night. Its at the point where each hour is actually progress rather than put a part on take ten parts off.
