    OK.

    There seems to be a LOT of anger in the motors forum over the past while.

    So lets try it like this?

    - Bear in mind, people who work in the trade do post in here, so try and keep the "i have no sympathy for the motor trade, i hope they all burn in hell" posts to yourself yeah? I dont really find it funny that people would wish unemployment on myself, or anyone else for that matter.

    - Take a deep breath before you reply to a controversial post - i know i am guilty of reacting badly to a post, i will try to cut that out. Nobody needs the agressive comments taking the thread off topic.

    - Again there are people in here who work in the trade, chances are with their training and experience they will know a little more about sales, servicing, new models, or whatever, compared to someone who likes their cars, but may be an accountant or whatever. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when someone who thinks they are right is corrected by someone in the know who has proven that person wrong, the poster in the wrong should be man enough to see they are wrong, and to step back - not go on the offensive and drag the Government, VRT and fog lights into the equation!!

    Maybe its not my place to post a comment like this, and for that I apologise to the mods, but i am slightly miffed at almost every thread turning into an argument. I know i am guilty of doing it, i am probably in the middle of some of them, but i think the arguments serve none of us, so im going to try to cut it out.

    Feel free to criticise this, it is just my opinion. I may be well out on some of my points above, i'd apprieciate it if my mistakes in this post were pointed out to me.

    all the best for a calm and peaceful motors forum!

    You're right Rob.

    I take it you read the "Making an offer" thread??

    Pretty petty, lads arguing over absolutely nothing seeing as the OP hasn't gone back to the thread to say what car (s)he's buying.

    Gotta sit back and laugh at it though.

    SCREW THAT!!! the arguments is what i come here for!!!!

    |I know more than anyone about cars and if i want your opinion i will give it to you!!!

    Ha ha only kidding.

    yeah it has got quite unbearable

    But i would like to make a comment also.... you have to understand that some people come here to ask what may seem like stupid question especially to those in the trade so maybe slack should be given on all sides!!!

    other than that

    i think this palce is grand

    Maybe we need a sticky post or subforum titled "ROAD RAGE" for off-topic banter, discussions of fog lights, cyclists, fast lanes and such like :p

    One thing I cant stand about the motor forum is people seem to assume that a young fella with a modded car is a skanger. Hates all that paint everyone with the same brush crap.
    All my years on the road on bikes and I never had a problem with a boy racer. Its normally the older 30+ people that pull out in front of me just cos im on a bike.
    Dont worry this aint an anti car rant , I rather car people than a lot of the bikers I know .

    Fair play limerick man, I've enjoyed your posts on the motors forum, long may they continue.

    I know for the people in the motor industry its a stressful time, but also you have to realise its a stressful time for everyone and they want to squeeze every last drop of car from the euros they're parting with.

    Pop by my new thread :)

    Motoring causes passion and emotion amongst those who love it, and for that reason there'll be the odd difference of opinons.

    If there ever is a calm and peaceful motors I reckon that'd be the signalling for the end of days.

    Also if everyone agreed, everyone would drive the same car. Probably something german. No need for a motors forum then;)

    Yep good idea , this has been said in here before, we do need a section for the whingers and moaning minnies, and to be honest they are the reason I give this forum a wide berth.

    Nope I keep mine lit at all times, as they piss off the moaners and whingers and other malcontents on their way home to spend their evening crouched over their cheap laptops typing utterly useless drivel in an attempt to brighten up otherwise meaningless pointless lives :D:D:D

    Apologies, my post was intended to be somewhat tongue in cheek. It was a poor attempt at some comic relief. I should have used some rolleyes.

    I'll try again;

    Don't you hate fog lights:rolleyes::rolleyes:
