It's nothing to do with having mega bucks or wanting a minter, but there is absolutely nothing special about that vehicle:

1. It's got not tax or MOT
2. It's obviously a bit dodgy
3. It's ancient
4. It's a manual so the clutch is probably on its way out
5. It's pre-facelift so you can't drive it at night time
6. It's potentially non-EFI so will cost a fortune to fix if the fuel pump ever gives up
7. The seller is obviously a trader who knows nothing about it.
8. It's not £250 FFS, it's an auction and just so happens to be £265 at the moment. Look! This one's only 99p

Not ever1 here wants a gleeming minter, some1 mite want it 4 spares/repair, or to turn it into a heavily modified off roader i.e chop the back off, fit a roll bar, remove all lights etc etc.

Vinces 'hyperhairdresser' 4th gen. Vince would have nightmares about what I'd do to it though

That would be a Stylist then.

Now now chaps, calm down. Each to thier own, I was under the assumption this forum was to chat about anything about any type of surf.

This is were you all start swearing at me now for trying to calm things down lol

Nah, you've been here a couple of years, you should know how the forum ticks by now.

Brad my first post was question and an observation.

My "Good" reply was humour, if I was to be worthy of a "now now chaps"

I would have taken the p iss out of the "heavily modified off roader" description.

Oh b0ll0ks to it

And so did I mate, but obviously some dont think so, I shared something with fellow members, to which some dont hink it wqas worth sharing, thats why i aint gona bother in the future.

Thought we could talk about anything here, not just truck related.

have noticed that ppls attitudes have changed towrads me over the last few weeks.

if any1 has a problem with me, then just come right out and say it, not fussed, either on the board or as a pm.

Im a paid subscriber, who has the right to voice and share my opinion, just as any other member has, to share what i think may interest others, and reply to posts to share my opinion, after all i thought thats what froums where all about.

RANT OVER.

You can post what you like, and say what you like, just be prepared to defend what you say. The add is utterly unremarkable, I have no idea why you chose to draw attention to that Surf rather than any of the dozens of other Surfs on the bay. Don't take it too personally, But if you post a link to a crappy ad for a crappy Surf, don't be surprised if some one calls it crappy. Its a reflection on the car, not you.

Does it have a Red Button ?

Calm down dear, it's only a forum.

You do have a right to voice and share your opinion, but others also have the right to tell you that they think your opinion's wrong.

Your post did say 'I await snidey comments' which, to me, suggests that you think anyone disagreeing with you is somehow being unfair or picking on you. That is likely to get the more vocal amongst us to express our disagreement straight away, purely because your definition of it as 'snidey' belittles our own opinions and annoys us.

From my personal point of view, the title 'this one's not too bad' was asking for a reply because, for the reasons I have already stated, that one's a festering heap.

If someone wants a cheap truck to start playing with, I would be looking for a 2.4 auto from a forum member that had known provenance including a new head. By the time someone's shelled out to get a £300 stinker like that sorted, they could have just gone straight for a working one.

You get better value buying a good one than you do buying a knackered one and sorting it out. I should know, I have bought two heaps, spent a fortune getting them straight, then sold them for less than I bought them for.

No-one has a problem with you and, if they do, they will sure as hell let you know all about it, but you need to accept that sometimes people will disagree and sometimes they will be right.

As for changing attitudes towards you, I thought it was pretty poor form to accuse Doc B of being a scammer when he asked for a favour, but plenty of others disagree with me. Maybe people have just stopped being so nice because you're not a newbie anymore and are expected to have got into the swing of things by now.
