Far more hopeless task than on here is wager. And very odd. I have family members that do the same and I just don't get it.
He's on the dashcam ones, if that doesn't define pissing in the wind I don't know what is.

I would go for "hairy hyperactive mad scientist type with a big smile and lovely family".

Or, you know, "cunt". One or the other. ;)

I'll take that ;-) Although maybe more the former rather than the latter

mik wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:44 pm Paraphrasing a twitter discussion, but he realised he was wasting time arguing with folks on here - better to spend his time not arguing (ok arguing less ;) ) with folks on other platforms that were providing a more positive experience. Hence I don’t think he’ll be back.

I was going to leave this but I just can't.

*REV* left the forum because he felt *OTHER PEOPLE* were argumentative ??? :shock:

If so I think he's created his own irony black hole, irony so incomprehensibly dense that it sucks in and destroys everything it touches (logic, humour, self-awareness...)

Hopefully he'll find a nice forum for pots & kettles and live happily ever after 8-)

I’m not his spokesman but since you quoted me - I didn’t say that SJ 😁

I don’t know his thoughts, but he didn’t suggest it was all the fault of other people.

I don’t think he was one to start an argument, just was more up for one if it started then wouldn’t let it go. I actually thought he was more chilled out on here than the old forum *shrug*

ETA if he thought he was wasting time arguing with people here, who are for the most part intelligent, he’s got his work cut out for him with the spackers on Twitter etc 😂

:lol: :lol: No, I didn't even organise the whole race I was in! I organised the Scottish Renegade cup (three rounds as a consolation to our cancelled season), and persuaded the bloke who was organising the Formula Ford Heritage race (the nearest class to our cars) to let us join in

Gav, a stealth flounce is still a flounce.

I think both of them were unemployed for periods in the last 12 to 18 months to be fair though I'm not sure that made all that much noticeable difference... :lol:

Sadly, the results weren't as strong as we might have hoped - mechanical problems in practice (nearly lost a wheel at 100+ when a wishbone bolt failed) meant little practice and no chance to adjust the set-up. Qualified 5th, but a spin in the penultimate lap of the race meant I only managed 9th overall (out of 22) and 2nd in class.
:!: :D especially considering the change in weight distribution because of the bolt failure.

Good to hear REV & family had a good day out 8-) He needs more of that and less of partaking in dash cam comment threads; he'll find no satisfaction there, only an endless source of frustration and pain.



I thought JL had just ended up otherwise engaged rather than flouncing :? If he did stealth flounce, any ideas what over?
