And so I should think so.

Some people dont get my sense of humour, but thats alright it takes all people.
What I cant stand is everyone only posting to please others I mean why not tell the truth, some dont like it but if you feel that way why change just because some might not like it.
I can remember a post a few months ago that started " only positive comments allowed" WTF, if you post something you are putting it out to be viewed and accept the comments good or bad.

I speak my mind, there used to be a few more like me on here but they have left or only post every now and then, that is why I think that confrontational posts get the most views and comments, it livens the place up a bit .

And this means that if you dont agree with me , I dont care it doesnt upset me as you have your own opinions.

Anyway, I hope you all have a nice day and all win the lottery this weekend, as I will not enter it .
I will win it myself the following week.(more for me that way)

Cheers
Dave

Well you do have a point there. You sure make for interesting reading!!😉
Sometimes it's a bit hard to hear your sarcastic tone through the screen but shit happens.
Ah hugs and kisses for all........:kiss
Now F*#% off and find a Holden forum!! LOL.😉
As for the buy and sell I think leave it alone, people just need to not post if they aren't genuinely interested in the item. It's not the place for chit chat....
anyway I'm goona go have a :beer or:beer:beer

yeah that would have been my second post on bens oval, which both have now been deleted. due to small pathetic remarks from 2 people who continued on and on.
If someone asks for not negative comments then you should respect there wishes.
you in your case dave, and not having a dig at you. would take one look at the thread and say ohh gee look another boring thread.
Then go about your bussiness looking at other threads that would interest you.

BUt no we would preffer to stop take a quick look and go fuck this i will stir up some shit to spark some interest into the thread.

now that thread was posted about a friends car and not my own. it would have rolled off my back if it was my own car knowing a lot of you guys. but this was a car belonging to a friend that shows an interest in vw's but doesn't like to show his car off because he doesn't like people putting shit on his work.

I mad the thread to get some good feedback for him on the car and try to convince him to bring it to the nats.
but the hole thing back fired because no one could respect someones wishes.

anyways :blah:blah:blah:blah.

have a good day or night what ever it is you are having. :kiss

Manx.
No dig intended at you.
I try not to have a go at people personally.

We all have differant opinions, that is what makes the world go round, that is why this post has gone on for a while, had loads of comments and lots of views.
You see I dont agree with you regarding asking for positive comments only.

This is my view, you put up a post on a site that is visited by a lot of people, the old saying " you cant please all of the people all of the time" means some wont like what others do.

I didnt mind the bug, what I did not like was being told If I didnt like it I could not say that, you were infact wanting to censor peoples views, that I dont agree with

Some dont like my bus, shit there are parts of my bus I dont like, I dont mind if you say it because the way I see it is we are all allowed our opinions.

Cheers
Dave

I know there will always be neagative comments.
And to me i don't mind them. helps me to fix the probs with things.
That is why i had 2 posts of the same thing, but one had please no negative feedback. and the other was just open slate.
But it attracted more unwanted feedback to the no negative feedback post than i wished.
I knew there would be 1 or 2 that would post there. just to be a pain, but when it got to 7 was when i pulled the plug on the hole thing.
I was trying to attrack another nice bug into the vw scene but i have given up on it.
I just sit back and dish it out now too:P

I think the reason you got the comments was because you asked not to get them.
People are strange and most dont like being told what to do.

This has been great because we are all giving our opinions in an adult manner and not making personal attacks.
To me that is what a forum should be about.
Makes a change from looking at rusted out pieces of crap in the for sale section.😉😉😉:thumb.

I still think the majority of thumbs down replies to ads are because of people not following the rules.

Roy from ClassicVW (Pacific) got a flogging over this. Good thing too as a business has even more responsibilities when advertising than does an individual. He got his act together, complied and now no one gives him a hard time. Hell, looks like heaps of people are buying from him.

People who can't read and abide by the rules for buying and selling (ie. no name, phone, suburb, postcode, and a good description) deserve their post taken down.

As for the paranoid who don't want their phone number as a requirement delete the post - they can't want to sell it too badly if they don't want a call! Not everyone who sees the posts is a member or wants to be a member and some people simply don't want to go thru the back an forth u2u when a 2 minute call could close the deal.

Those posts where obvious mis-description has occured should attract comments. If they can't answer the complaints of people who have looked at it and found it not as described then all will know to avoid it.

Discussion about the listed items will always occur. To my mind that is a bonus to the poster as it keeps it up with the current listings.

Now having given my idea some thought and more especially having read the comments I agree that it would be a terrible price to pay not posting I dont particularly mind trivia posts and especially enjoy some ( Dave you are a cracker) . The REPORT bBUTTON needs to be in red! and eeveryone needs to chill a bit. Mitchl

yeh i got it from america if you close you can see the aerial hole
on the drivers side so i put a split on the passenger side with
velcro, its a good fit & im going to put a vw badge in the aerial hole
works a treat but a hint never leave them on all the time as they
sweat & can damage the paint (on for a couple of weeks off for a
couple of weeks) my brother inlaw had one on hes bmw bike tank
for a couple of years & took it off, paint peeled off with it.
that colour paint stone chips really stand out

yes wise investment when primer is a light colour
i paid about that amount 3yrs ago for this one
the underside is a soft fluffy type material so it wont
scratch the paintwork (any auto trimmer)be careful
what they use it will rub, if i was to buy another i
would check with roy or similar
ps its a tight fit, better to leave in sun for ten or fifteen minutes
so the material will stretch easier to clip on
