He's large as life and still helping others and I'm sure if he reads this he'll be in touch.

How I missed that thread in Hellfire Steves link I have no idea

Sorry but Locostbuilders is a better place without Calvinix, I actualy don't doubt he's a great guy in real life and I have a sneaking suspicion we would actualy get on rather well if I met him - but he was a childish kn*b on here (as anyone who got one of his 'my dad is bigger than your dad' type U2Us will know) and having nothing better to do with his life than deleting all his postings speaks volumes.....

Having met Mark on a few occasion I have to say he is good bloke, always willing to help a fellow locost builder (even one building a MK).

Later

A bit of a Marmite character I think
He has been posting again recently, but then deletes his posts (and even his avatar) straight away ...... which probably says a lot about his personality. I think he has personal issues which need to be sorted.

Good to see you are up to your usual, backbiting standard Calvin

Quick, before he deletes it!

Screen capture... kind of says it all. Probably not the best way to promote your services.

To be fair, I have deleted old posts of my own too.

However.

That's because I realised I was talking what is known in thes part as 'pish'.

I do tend to think that there's a difference between that and having a pram / toys interface scenario.

Razman.

Now we have a tricky one for Mr CalvinX.

Up till now he has deleted all his posts, but you have stated above that he will do it again.

Does he delete like you said he would, or does he leave it there because you said he would delete it ?

Mmm, tricky.

Yes, I wonder

There is a certain irony to note that he has always been very quick to threaten his adversaries (as he obviously sees them anyway) with legal action / lynching / public execution etc in the past ...... but am I right in thinking that you need permission to publish other people's photographs in your adverts? That must surely amount to abuse of a trader's contract among other things ..... don't you think?

Hmmmmm ..... what should I do now then

dont know the bloke, but seen pics of his car, and heard of him helping.

Seems a shame people can't let bygones be bygones TBH.

I've seen many forums deterioate into bitchy messes, full of point scoring rubbish. I hope this one full of mature types will hopefully know better.

Thank you for pointing out that I need permission to use photos in an advert.

You are quite correct in this assumption and seeing as I took the photograph in question there is NO problem with me using an image obtained with my own imaging equipment.

These images were only obtained AFTER I requested YOUR permission to take photographs (in front of a witness)you FREELY agreed.

many thanks for your co-operation


Keep digging Calvin

He has changed it now

Quality paint jobs

Quality paint jobs will be on offer soon, Below is a sample of the type of terrible work out there, and a type we WONT be supplying.

u2u for more details

(EDIT)

To clear up any confusion the photograph below was taken by myself, only after obtaining permission to take photographs of the vehicle in question from the owner.




However did he ask the owner to use the picture of his car to slag it off and use it to sell his service.

I also think its quite ironic that he doesn’t think us worthy of his knowledge, yet he thinks he is worthy of our cash i.e. used this site to sell his car etc

Dearie dearie me...

One thing I try NEVER to do is to slag someone's pride and joy off in a public forum, no matter what I think of it personally. (but I have a huge amount of respect for Razman's work).

Even if I wanted to, I would NEVER do it in an area where other forum members are not permitted to respond.

Just another example of someone's lack of respect for other people...

Does that screenshot violate Calvinx's copyright? Or because he copryrighted it after the screen shot does that make it ok?

If so If I copy the screen shot would that be ok? For that matter would I or anyone else want to?

Is this thread about cars?

paul must be one of the lucky few to have met him in person if he thinks he a nice guy, since he comes across as a total knuckle shuffler on here we should get X a tv show, would be better than springer.

BTW mark, u2us arent blocked if you fancy saying hi let me reply though eh?

How about clearing up the confusion of being based in Cyprus and offering to do paintwork for a predominantly English client base?
Are you planning to commute to do the work, or do you expect people to ship their cars out to you in Cyprus?
I would have been more impressed with a picture of the standard of work you brag about, rather than the denigration another members efforts.
As a 'professional' there is nothing to brag about in being better than an amateur at the same task.
This behaviour tells us more about you as a person than your skills as a trader.

Oooh yes, so can you sort out my stone chips then?
Here's a picture of one of the chips for your reference - disgusting bit of workmanship it is too. Whoever painted it ought to be shot or flogged or something else that you can dream up.
[img][/img]
I'll even give you permission to use it in another ad if you like - in fact, if you like I'm sure I can find all sorts of blemishes like that trolley scrape I got at Asda's last month and the kerb scrape that happened when putting the car on the trailer for SVA so with any luck you can probably launch a full-on advertising campaign! Knock yourself out I actually can't believe you actually went to the trouble of putting a copyright statement on that picture - how pathetic is that! Oh and although your legal situation is, at best, questionable regarding use of my car's picture as an example of implied bad workmanship, I really can't be bothered decend to your level and take legal action - that would be just plain ridiculous and I have far better things to do with my life than take you to court (even a Cyprus one)

Oh and just to put the record straight, the implied bad paint job is ACTUALLY some mechanical damage suffered to my roof section when one of the windows flew open at 85mph ...... on private roads of course officer (silly me forgot to fasten the catch properly) so it just goes to show that you really need to be sure of the facts of a situation before you make any accusations or imply that workmanship is sub standard. Get the facts wrong and you just make yourself look like a complete idiot.

My car is no trailer queen - its my daily driver, having done over 10K miles in 10 months you tend to pick up the odd scratch and ding - I accept that fact but it seems not everybody can ... ah well, each to their own standards I guess - so live with it. Oh I forgot that your car is absolutely perfect isn't it :p

Well its been a real hoot this afternoon but I really must get on now - gotta paint something in the garage.
pip pip

Oops, nearly forgot - Is a Copyright valid even when it is mis-spelled? (copywrite?) Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one and please don't assume that I am implying anything about the standard of anybody's education - it was purely a joke ...... ok?

Disclaimer: For those with 'drop of a hat' legal tendencies

Any statements or references in this thread which are made regarding any persons (living or dead) should be regarded as totally flippant and purely coincidental. In other words you shouldn't really give a toss, honestly.
