They seem to make use of their old sierra's rather than rip them all apart!!

I don't usually bother clicking threads with teaser titles, now I remember why...

MikeR - 23/1/11 at 01:33 PM

is it me or is the engine ready to go bang? Seems to be putting out a lot of smoke on gear change.

In all honesty, id rather you didnt contribute to any of my threads at all. All you seem to come out with is abuse or negativity. Just because youre not interested in something Mr, interestedparty, doesnt mean that nobody else would be.

No need to reply.

I know what you mean mate! Theres two many twisters on this forum my wife aint even that bad. ( ha ha )
I used to make and fly model aircraft everytime i visited my club they done nothing but twist at the way i flew my models so gave up the hobbie. It seems what ever hobbie you have theres always somone having a go i think they get a kick out of it. Anyway take no notice of the twisters!

Just put something in the title to indicate what it is about, don't be such an attention seeker, probably scared nobody would read your thread I expect.

I wish you wouldnt. Your contributions are shocking on all counts. Do us all a favour and wee off, or wind it in.

There was enough in the original post to give you an idea, unless you have trouble reading.

I couldn't decide whether it was the engine or tyres, seemed to twitch a fair bit at gearchange.

I like what they've done, but always thought the 2 door Sierra was quite a nice looking car....

In the TITLE I said.


HTH, attention seeker.

For someone so disinterested, you not only felt the need to watch the video but also comment on it

This is about as helpful as the unhelpful "I've got no idea how to solve your problem but someone will be along soon to help" posts that we see.

Youtube got spoilt this way where some users aren't interested in content - only provoking a b1tch fight.

i agree, if its of no interest then read it, ignore it and move on

Are you referring to me with that? Have you EVER seen me post a "I've got no idea how to solve your problem but someone will be along soon to help"?

And no, I didn't watch the video, once I realised that it was all a big attention seeking timewaste. Not everybody has fast-running broadband, people should put something in the title to say what it's about, then maybe those people will have less of their time wasted.

chunky2772 - 23/1/11 at 08:31 PM

I totaly agree with that read if you don't like then just move on.
My car build was my escape from the wife bitching at me to many people twist about silly things.

interesting home for a blown bmw lump

way cooler than the bmw it came from anyway

What the smeg is this twisting? It sounds to me like trolling, or "being a cnut" as I often call it

It is probabaly just overfueling due to being maped for a turbo! My GTFour spits fuel out the back with the hammer down and would spray anything that could keep up!

Oh, and I like it too, I bet that pisses some boxter owners off!

my favourite is when you ask about something specificm and everyone pitches in with suggestions of other things, and your original question never gets answered

i mean like for example if i was to ask about replacing the seal in Gaz shocks, someone will say, ooh, you should have bought protech, then someone else will say how easy it is to replace the seals in protech shocks, then someone else will tell you gaz shocks leak really bad, but sometimes, no one answers the actual question you asked generally its pretty good though on here

hmm, i want a big turbo in a car, i'd even think about doing it to my bmw 328... if i thought the bodywork was worth the cost of doing it.

that is some awesome power in that car though

See now youre "Attention Seeking"......apparently.....

ChrisW - 24/1/11 at 09:14 PM

A 3-door Sierra is definitely on my 'to build' list. Must be the early shape though without the extra window at the back. I'd always thought a BMW v12 would work well in one of those, but perhaps the blown M50 is cooler.

If anyone has a decent shell left ovedo after it donating it's mechanicals do let me know!!

Cheers, Chris

Seemed to me like NineHigh was simply making a comment in regard to the term twisting...

Ah well, it takes allsorts to make an interested forum doesn't it

Whatever. Is interestedparty a mate of yours or a relative? Read the whole of the comment and youll see the whole context.

Your apostrophe button doesn't seem to be working

We've not had a good moan about spelling or grammar recently, anybody want to start?

Why hasn't someone posted a "yaaawwwwwwn" yet? They're equally as pointless. A bit like my reply really. However, if we could have a "pass the popcorn" then I'd be rolling on the floor peeing myself as well as laughing out loud.......not.

interestedparty - 25/1/11 at 09:11 AM

In case anyone is wondering what all the fuss is about (I know I am), my moan is not about the fact that he posted a link to a youtube video about a modified Sierra, it's not that at all, as far as I'm concerned anyone can post a link about anything they want.

No, what gets me is when people don't give a clue in the title, the bit that appears under the forum heading, just what the feck the post is about.

For instance, why not say "interesting Sierra on youtube"? What would have been wrong with that? Or something else along those lines? Then, anybody who might have been interested (which might have included me, or might not) could have had a look, and anyone who wasn't interested could have moved on to another thread.

Now when the site is runnng quick, and if someones got a good broadband connection, then maybe it doesn't matter if they spend a couple of seconds looking to see what a thread is about and finding it is something that doesn't interest them, but if they've had to wait a while for the page to open then I reckon it does matter.


So the moral of the story is, put something in the title to let people know what it is about, seems a reasonable thing to do, why would anyone disagree? I mean, whats the point of having a title at all if people are going to conceal the topic of the thread. Then we could just have thread 1, thread 2, thread 3 and so on.........

Intersted party I think after all the posts that have taken you are still missing the point slightly!?!

Your point may have been valid in your first response but it was the manner / tone that you chose to air your point that has sparked the responses.

I can see that, but it kind of got that way when the guy had a go at me back, totally rejecting the point I was making, you said yourself just there that it was valid, but he didn't agree, and that's just the way it went after that.

ChrisW - 25/1/11 at 12:32 PM
