  1. have you met your ban quota for this month?
  2. replace the brake fluid as well, if it hasn't been done in a while you can notice a difference, best to take off wheels and check the pads also just to be sure.
  3. Try admiral 22, 2 years no claim - £1000 fully comp for 12 months
  4. I guess nearly 20,000 miles, she is up to 118k now in 2.5years Replaced due to failure Master brake cylinder Starter Motor Wear Clutch Age Rear spoiler Both rear sills bit of rust on both wheel arches.
  5. well mark isn't a normal member, he is a moderator which can be seen from the forum leaders page. He was asked by the commitee as previously stated to take up this role that was left by smw1 when he joined the commitee, please address the 3 good points to SMW1 as club secretary and the commitee will go over them and provide you an answer, I feel i am not getting very far by trying to be helpful so I will have no more say on the matter in public, I have a busy few days with work now, so don't even know if i will have the time to respond to you.
  6. its an outrageous bannana though.
  7. ah something reasonable why should I not have mod rights? I personally think people are going way over the top, personally I have moderated less than 6 threads/issues in 8 months? and all for reasons of T&C breaking. Maybe because i actually TELL people when i moderate things i get a bad press? Trust me the moderation on this forum is intentionally light, that is why when something happens people turn it into a big deal, I'm a member of forums which are moderated to a level 200times higher than this, I think it is nice that moderation is light on this forum. Please show where I have incorrectly moderated, because I nor any other member of the moderator /commitee pool believe I have done anything which is outside of the moderator T&C. MArk resigned as a commitee member, he was asked to keep a role as a moderator. moderators are selected by the commitee.
  8. lol remembered a funny one, sex education putting condoms over head and blowing them up with your nose eating the pill (gave bigger cup size) classic was my mate though, filled a condom up with spermicide jelly (must have been half a litre of the stuff in there) and proceded to bash kids int he playground around the head with it, it took a bit of punishment, i think on the 3rd kid it smashed though lol. Of coursse being kids covered in spericide was the same as being covered in spunk
  9. probaby better word mate, but that's just fueling my ego ;) its hard to bring across things online without resorting to full out abuse, at end of day i don't know most people here from the next man, if this was a discussion with my pubs down the pub it would usually be settled with a lamp post climbing comp.
  10. sorry scotty I always just try and answer to the best of my ability any query, I don't think i'm better than anyone, maybe it has an official undertone. bit harsh calling it shit though :(
  11. All these bans? Sorry smithy but the fact is that matty is the 1st subscribed member ever to recieve a ban. lets keep this thread about facts and not about assumptions.
  12. How do you mean Shit that I say? if you have a problem I am more than happy to address it.
  13. Smithy, I had nothing to do with the ban of matty, . I had nothing to do with that and mark will have to fill you in on the details. me and matty had discussed our issues the previous night and both decided to agree to disagree and leave it there, any further action or banning was not due to anything from the discussion me and matty had
  14. the women love it (usually because they want to own it)
  15. I probably worded that wrong, meant to be along lines of its a car club, there is no need for all this flair up all the time, it doesnt matter anyway, no matter what i say it won't be right :) I always answer questions on here in same manner as I do at meets, i'm always as open as i think i can be,
  16. used to have a habit of removing plug and plug sockets and rewiring them, feckign stupid YES, luckily noone was ever hurt, used to blow most of the schools circuts though, I got a homemade dart stuck in someones head once also. I can banned from woodwork after school for making baseball bats with iron sticking out the end (still pretty impressive lathe work the teacher said) Used to undo science lab taps and rurn water off at mains - result when mains turned back on all taps would fall off and water would piss out everywhere. In the 1997 general election I was campaigning for the school conservative team (who would have thought ;)) got in trouble ther for ripping down all the other teams banners. hacked the school network a few times, only got in trouble for that when I changed the admins personal statement details. used to do this trick where you make someone breathe out hard ten times and then you grab their stomach, it makes them pass out (funnily enough everyone new this and were still quite happy to do it) on one occasion where i was in the room but not "involved" this resulted in someone needing 12 stiches in their head from two wounds my favorite one was throwing someones trainer out of the window, they get of roof to get it and then closing the window also used to put paper on projectors, after a while it would usually ignite. had quite a lot of the schools magnesium supply also, never managed to get ahold of the ceasium though (DAMN) few other things i didn't get caught for that i don't think i should post up on a public forum. it's all just general school kids pranks really, its why im scared about having kids really....
  17. x-biker The reason being that the correct manner in which to addres these complaints is to contac the club secretary and wait for an answer from the commitee as a whole, which can take time. My answers may be deemed as political but that is because I cannot make an official stance on the decisions of the commitee without their full backing, I do not try to shut the other person down, I am more willing to reply to people when they reply to me, this is what a debate is all about. Of course I could say exactly what I feel in the true words of an essex boy but at the end of the day I have a responisbility to both answer the question AND not break commitee rules or offend or put other commitee members in a position they may not like to be in. At the end of the day this is a car club for the Nissan 300zx, the commitee is elected annually and they are in charge of running the club, the forum is a section of the club and not the club as such. Personally I try to be as open as I think I can be, but if pushed I will not stray from my original stance, i'm sorry but I do not usually break because I am asked the same question 10 times, I answer the question to the best of my ability the first time.
  18. No i do not accept any money from the club, I do not ask for money and I have refused money. I do not at the same time run around telling everybody that fact, this is probably the first time it has been mentioned by myself. Infact I even pay my £20 renewal each year for club membership!! This years Banlog Jeff TT - 24 hours - cooling off period - by me, since expired My justification for 24 hour cooling off period, a post was made that I believed contradicted the forums T&C, this was removed for harmony reasons, this was then reposted so was removed with a warning, the post was then added a 3rd time. I don't have the time to remove something 100 times in a night so that was the best way to deal with it by imposing the minimum ban time i could. Matty - 2 weeks (still banned) - by topless mr2 - permenant ban - forum invasion - by paulg The rest are people who have come on as traders without following club guidelines so had their accounts terminated, i think you will agree with these bans. Threads I have moderated in past few months from my own memory Locked matties thread removed two threads that I felt were started with the intention to cause argument on the forum. thats about it really. so I do not think you are justified in claiming I over moderate or that this forum is overmoderated, fact of the matter it there is so little moderation on this forum and it only happens when there is trouble about to kick off, people do not accept original moderation desicions or there are people out to trade for free.
  19. Smithy, please clarify who have I banned?
  20. Smithy, have you not actually read anything? I provide hosting for this site, I provide the banwidth for this site, i have provided two servers for this site to run on, I am the one who drives down to fix the server, i am the one who has bought out of his own pocket hardware to replace broken hardware from sennas server. I am the one who has never asked for a penny to do this. I wake up at 3am when im alerted of problems with the site. I am a member of the commitee and as such have as much input in this club as every other commitee member, this includes an moderator role. I was approached by craig along with the rest of the commitee to undertake this role. With reguards to my admin role, I am responsible for the software upgrades of the server, I am responsible for the software upgrades of the forum software, I am responsible for the new look of the site, I am responsible for keeping the rides section running, I am responsible for answering technical questions reguarding the forum and ensuring the smooth running of the forum. my role is not one for you to question.

    my apologies it would seem as a registered user you cannot see thread deletion reasons, the notes state it was deleted as it was seen as intent to cause an argument.
