Almost as entertaining as Robbie G's wildly inaccurate assumptions about people and things he knows nothing about that only serve to highlight how out of the loop he is.

There is no loop, none that matters anyway. If hurfdurf's tripe comes across as spam to most people, it's spam, irrespective of whether or not there's some kind of in-joke that only some people know about. The fact that some people understand the joke doesn't stop it being spam.

I think we can probably take what you say on the matter with a chasm full of salt based on your posting this morning.

It's a fact that a lot of in-joking goes on in this forum. There are those that the entire forum gets, those that people who went to a certain meet or event get, those that lurk in a certain section or subsection get, and then those that undefined groups of people get. If you aren't aware this is happening you've probably not been party to any of the in-jokes. They do not require the valueless Robbie G seal of approval to exist and be funny.

Is it possible that I'm getting steering wheel wobble due to the low tread of my front tyres?

Unless it's as bad as mine were then I doubt it's the cause :D

Is it just wobble or are you getting steering pull to either side? Can you hear any sort of knocking over bumps?

No, that much is obvious, but it does require the mods' seal of approval, and they have also voiced how tiresome it is seeing hurdurf for mod everywhere. Or is the fact that many posts containing this vapid guff are edited, not evidence enough for you that it's not appreciated by those that do count (not you, not me)?

Of course, I know that in-jokes occur to which I am not party. But the fact that it is an in-joke does not automatically make it awesome and hilarious, which is the point you're missing. Although I can detect how very proud you are to finally be part of an in-joke...;).
 
At least he does post some on-topic posts Robbie where as you only ever seem to post to stir up **** or when there is an argument, from my observations at least.

Not at all, search my other posts today and I've made some helpful valid contributions. That's the thing, I do disparaging so well that people only remember those bits :(.

This but only unironically and replace disparaging with some thing else and me instead of Robbie G and also being a good poster and not Robbie G level posting as "helpful valid contributions"

Whether the mods approve of it or not has no relevance. The mods simply don't count. They moderate. If they don't want to see it, fine, they can remove it - but that's not the verdict. The fact that there are people laughing, who get it, is the verdict.

I am not as proud to be part of this in-joke as I am to be part of the not-so-in joke that is your continued lulposting!
 
Hi all as usual my dad is very sorry for Saturday.
He has decided to go for a bit of travelling starting with Portugal then Sweden followed by Thailand and then Australia rather than drinking himself to death :)

Before he goes there are 2 rings and a car to sort out, please contact me at home those that have the number so i can sort you all out.
 
So I just got my car back from the MOT place, I sent it knowing that after a seized brake calliper one of the rear brake pads would definitely be in need of a change, as well as what I assumed would be other stuff. Expecting a massive list of failures equalling £££££'s in cost I was at first delighted when I was phoned up and told all it needed was a light bulb, and they had done it free of charge, as well as a full valet.

So now I have my car back, with a full MOT, great.

Except the brakes still feel a bit **** tbh, stopping power is not what it used to be, to the point where I am almost certain its not a placebo. There are weird noises coming from all over the place when I go round corners too fast (not tyre squeal) and now the interior passenger side door handle does not work.

Car looks sexy as hell and still goes well though, but having never really spent money on a car that didn't need it, I am at a loss as to where to start. Any ideas lads? Car is an MX5.

Jack it up, take the wheels off and have a look at the pads.

A sticking caliper piston can be identified by hovering your hand over the offending wheel after a drive, it'll probably be pretty warm.

After that just take it to a mechanic with your findings, unless you want to do it yourself?
