Too much hate and over moderation on the forum. Whatever the problems are, sort it out like gents instead of catty remarks.

I’d also add that Andy has worked on 3 of my cars numerous times over the years and I’ve never had so much of a single issue with any of his work. He has also gone out of his way more than once to get me back on the road when i’ve suffered component failures.
I am not disputing that he is a very helpful chap, and has helped out a lot of members on here, but when you delve deeper into his workmanship, particularly with regards to clutches, it leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm sorry Alan, but your group is one of the worst on FB, so bad I left after a couple of weeks. Bad mannered, foul mouthed bunch of "Know it alls"

Ronnie, that isn’t my group.
That’s the group that changed their name to look like mine, who repeatedly abuse their members and slate the cars. They also mirrored the Help group too at one point and did the same there forcing people to leave.

There is absolutely no abuse on my group, whatsoever, if there is and it is it is immediately removed along with the person doing it, Les will vouch for that.

IF this situation spills into and interferes with the Holland trip then i'm walking away from it even if I'm in Holland when it happens i will leave and return to the UK.
I have put time effort and money into this for the club members and I'm not about to have this trip ruined by anybody acting like children when i'm arranging it.
I have no axe to grind with anyone but I don't care who is involved..
If I get the slightest feeling that there is likely to be a problem then I'm finished, not only with this trip but organising anything else at anytime.
On the 27th of February I will have been a member of the 75 and ZT club for 9 years but if things carry on as they are then it may well mark my last day of being involved with this club.

To all concerned do not, please do not ruin this trip as Dawn and I are looking forward to it. As well as others. Ian please have second thoughts nobody would blame you for cancelling it if it was spoilt by childish and stupid behaviour.

I can't go to Holland, I'm stuck in a siding

Anyway, Trikey can't claim the crown for childish behaviour, he is after all twelve years old, and I'm only nine.......having said that it's only three weeks until I'm ten.
