I had a friend who bullshitted about me to other people as well. He's a total willy and not my friend any more. Might want to take notes Jardo, friends don't like friends bad mouthing them, whether on the internet or in the pub.

I got 2 new tyres today as one rear got a screw in it and both were getting pretty old+only had a few more mm left anyway. Feck me my car is quieter now! Had Michelin Primacys before and never realised quite how noisy they were, now have Falken FK453s (asked for 452s but they couldnt find a stockist as they stopped making them) and the cabin noise has dropped loads :) Now to get the old thing ready for MOT, can't really think of any reason it will fail though luckily...

Holy f**king christ you bunch of cunting virgins, I wish you would all f**king die.

I NEVER said I was there, I said I have seen it in pieces and that my dad rebuilt it. All perfectly true.

So I got one of the several gearboxes that Prawn has been through in the last year mixed up. Who gives a f**k?

Sam, do one. Take note, lol! Like I am going to listen to a cock climbing forum virgin who used to be sound and then discovered Facebook and turned into a willy almost overnight.

You guys just love making shit up as much as you suggest I do. I say that I have seen the gearbox that I thought was Georges in pieces, then the next thing you know Seamons thinks I have said that I rebuilt it myself whilst paragliding through the Amazon.

Nope, I apologise for nothing.

And my point stands, this forum is full of people who lie to make their own end look better. Seamons calling me out for saying I have seen Nicks gearbox in pieces, of cause I bloody well have! 100's of thousands of people have seen that gearbox in pieces.

You do talk a lot of shit though, in general, with the latest gearbox story aside. Stop it.

I might talk a load of shit, but I won't be called a liar.

Just because I babble on about crap doesn't mean I am a concious liar. And I won't take Seamons or Sam saying that I am.

Seamons mainly, ANYTHING that I say he twists and rewords in a way that is questionable.

Like saying that I claimed to have "been there" when Prawns gearbox was taken apart. There are countless times when I am called out for lieing when actually I haven't said an untruthful word.

He sounds like a dick.

Which is why I don't chat shit. I might get things wrong, but I don't lie.

Also it is only fair to say that Nick is a steaming thunder fanny too for suggesting I said I was there and that there was no possible way I could have seen the pictures which have been posted across several forums.

All I know about the gearbox debate is that my car has one, and that those pictures weren't 1st and 2nd from Nicks box, ones a bevel gear, so can't be anything to do with Nicks gearbox, it's a transverse gearbox with an ATB differental, I'm 99% certain it doesn't contain any bevel gears. :blink: (Before any toys get thrown, I'm not accusing anyone of anything, just pointing out something that confused me, out of my own curiosity if nothing else.)

The most scary part is the practice run where you're only allowed to go around 20mph. You get onto a risky section and think - ok, I'm safe now but in half an hour I'll be doing 110 here and I don't quite trust the choices I'm going to make. Once you're actually on the run, you don't think about what if's :)

It's a shame that the only events which would give me a similar rush are hillclimb and proper rallies - both are way too expensive, the latter also being completely out of my league in terms of skill. I'll be doing an amateur rally in the Daihatsu soon, one where you need a co-driver because the special stages are too long to remember them. One of the more serious problems I'm faced with is rather ridiculous - I have a problem with directions (left/right). A solution was proposed whereby I stick a big LEFT sticker on the left of my screen and RIGHT on the right. Wonder if that could work, it would definitely look incredibly stupid on an on-board recording.

Is there any way the co-driver could say 'me' and 'you' instead of 'left' and 'right'? Might be an easy way around it?

It's the way you word things. If Nick hadn't called you out on what you had said, you would have had everybody believing you had been there. The way it's written implies that you were there, and saw it with your own eyes. It also reads like you took the pictures which you then posted.

I have never lied in this thread. I have no reason to. I couldn't care less what anybody thinks about my car... hence the very few pictures or videos I have of my car in here, or indeed anywhere online.

As I said a long time ago, you need to remember the story of the boy who cried wolf. Once you bullshit too much, people struggle to believe a word you say... sadly you are now finding the real meaning of that.



With regard to the Fabia wiper , you can get a brand new kit on ebay for £19. It's a weird combination of Fabia hatchback, and Fabia estate parts. I had one on mine, but then de-wipered it because I prefer the clean look.

Do you really think I care what most people on here think George? Not really.

I come on here to share my experiences and read about others, helping people as best I can along the way. If all the bellends could get off their high horses and stop taking stuff so seriously that would be awesome.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I don't imply stuff, I say it. If I don't say it, I don't mean it.

Your response to Prawn suggesting that I thought I was there is laughable, as is Sams. I never said I was there, so why would possibly think I was saying I was?

I was wrong, it wasn't your gearbox. Hardly a big deal, and hardly worth calling me a liar over.

STFU and take it to PM. Jardo you do sometimes talk crap, don't expect people not to call you out about it. Anyway, who cares...

I'm considering de-wipering, it's cheaper and would look nicer. What's the best way to do it? Can you buy a blanking plate / cap of some sort?

And that IS from Prawns box Robin, it might not be first and second (I never actually said it was, it was just an indication of the type of damage)

Like I specifically said, I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, I know you didn't say they were, and even if you had, it would have clearly been an honest mistake, hence why I explained I only pointed out the miss-match out of my own curiosity :) I just don't get what a bevel gear was doing in Nicks box? Was it just knocking around in the bottom having climbed in out of loneliness? (If you're interested, this is what's inside an 02j, and this is what a quaif diff looks like inside. With a normal helical gear bolted on as a crownwheel, I can't work out where a bevel gear comes into it, unless it's from the the open diff that came out before he used the box?)

f**k all the gearbox/Jardo bull. Life goes on despite the fact we all know he needs to calm it (himself included...)

Yeah, I've got a Fabia setup on mine and it looks so much better it's unreal. I've never been a big fan of dewipering, largely due to living in the sticks and having to reverse lots perhaps, so the Fabia setup tidies things up nicely :)
