after reading my this post again, i am also wondering what i was going on aboput too lol

but when i thought about it, you did write a lot of pap in a load of other posts.

as for boredbloke, thats ok.

i really dont get up in arms about what people say about me.
you'll actually find, when i meet people in person. i am like this all the time. i say what i think. no matter who you are lol.

i shall take a mental note thou. i will back up my outbursts with evidence (unless i cant be bothered that is lol)

and just so you know, i have these outbursts all the time, i wait untill i am really annoyed of the same thing posted all the time.

Dod
21-09-05, 10:16 PM
What, was that an appoligy?


Its people like you that cause so many of us in here to feel like we're nothing. Fair enough you may know a lot more than others about Novas etc but thats no reason to rip the piss out of the rest of us that dont. Fuck me, i thought thats what the site was for, to help people get in contact with other Nova fans, to share info on various topics. Id i'd had thought for one minute that this site was to belittle people that haven't got as much knowledge as you and some others, i'd never have joined.

srs1
21-09-05, 10:46 PM
that was not an apology in any form.

get that straight for a start.


i said "i think i was ott in my reply", and i admit that.

but



if you really want me to look back in replys that you have posted to other people then i shall, and that is why i snapped at you.

i'll give examples of people and why!
you, and the dutch bird. it was ott there also

andyracer, asking for a innocent young girl to post her pic up. her topic was completely different to "i want to post my picture".

i'll be honest, i dont care who or what you look like. i'll say this to your face. so dont think i am a key board warrior. people who know me, know i dont care who i upset.

i still believe my abuse at you in the post was a little ott and was kinda random from everyone's else's point of view, but i am sure if look back to the date, you were doing exactly what i said.

as for new starters on this site etc. i do actually give them as much advice to what i know. i also pm a few to say hi and welcome.

you got the raw end of the stick, so realistically, deal with it

chapers
21-09-05, 11:00 PM
hi sorry but back to the subject...

i thought the book was helpful in some respects eg:

the laws on the road about modding
advice with the insurance

also the mods they did help when i do mine, i start by jus gettin on with it but if im unsure of anything i'll get the book out and see what they did... then im usually able to finish the job myself!

it does help if you think about it as it give you a rough general knowledge on novas

cheers

Dod

Shove it!!!

glad you found it helpfull.

but i would suggest you just buy the normal haynes manual. it aint great, but has helped me a little too.

21-09-05, 11:11 PM

i did say dont take it personally.

if you need any advice you'll find i'll post a reply to it. i never hold a grudge.

chapers
21-09-05, 11:15 PM

yep, it's sean.

in the caption they say "we don't know whose this nova is or what time it ran. If it's yours, write in and let us know"

i'm sure they'll love to hear from you again sean.

Stuart
22-09-05, 08:00 AM

22-09-05, 07:48 PM
back to the original subject..........

max power has been a chav bible for years now so the haynes manual was always going to be poo! i'd rather spend my money on the normal manual which more or less tells you how to do most mods anyway (e.g replacing suspension etc)

srs1
22-09-05, 09:20 PM
your all right! sean is a w**k. thing is though he knows it and he don't give a f**k, aint that right sean. lol


couldn't have said it better myself.


look, i did openly say i was ott in my response to dod and have admitted that.
i wont appologies either cause i am stuborn as. unless i am wrong and know it.

andyracer, i can see we will never see eye to eye, so just so you know. i can live with that.

dod, like i said. dont take my outbursts at you personally. it aint aimed at you that way.

you should feel yourselfs lucky, you want to see me in work. i can be a right dragon.

ANDYRACER
22-09-05, 10:26 PM
Sean ill say it now, tbh my post was a little harsh we might not see eye to eye but ur not actually that bad, just sometimes ur post just seem a little to harsh im sorry about the bluntness but wasnt exactly feeling like writing an essay. U defiantly not the worse on this site and for that i apoligise. Sorry dude :wink:

Dont take it personally? How the fuck am i ment to take it any other way. And before anyone else starts moning about me dragging this on, I am as Stubborn as fuck and i'm not about to let it go as easily as that. Sean, you crossed a line and it was totally uncalled for.

Nick
23-09-05, 06:14 PM
For christ sake, Relax !

Sean has apologised in his stubborn way so just forget about it.

If you all get stressed about internet chat i think you need to get out a bit more !
