now as we all know I am a pretty mellow calm sort of person who would never tell someone they were wrong...

Dave Walker, he of emerald fame, mapped Mink and Leanne's megane engined 19.

He mentioned last month something about squish, which when I read it laughed and said muppet.

Some guy called Rod wrote in with a perfectly valid argument sayign that walker was wrong.

Walker retored and basicsally made himself look pretty foolish, maybe not to some of you as you won't have an understanding of what is tbh a pretty boring subject, hes wrong, very very wrong. Not only that hyping himself up with fancy words to make him look superior, thats plain obnoxious.

Anyway I posted a counter argument, as restrained as possible and fairly brief,

http://www.ppcmag.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1689

I wonder if it will get a reply at all.

Its in this months issue of ppc in tech talk pages, read it and you will see what I mean.

vizard never responded, it was reffering to a previous article by him, rod wrote the letter in stating this and walker replied to it. in tech talk near the back.

well mick i have been trying for years but I have skills to do it apparently and no funding so I can't.

Also with this latest situation I will probably have a 25 year driving ban.

I'm not banned.

But I will be on wednesday. Get a 25 year ban for driving with no insurance, bit much for moving a car out of the drive to cut my mums grass really.

But I have no luck so I get caught.

like I said karmas a lot of shite I help people all the time and always have done and all that happens is I get fucked for it.

Not had a job since 2002, can't get one.

Know more than 95% of people in the car game in this country yet can't get a job sweeping up in a garage!

This latest one I moved the hatch out to move it over so I could cut the grass at my mums front garden and stick the clio in to change its cambelt. So for the reward of that I get sent to prison and out on high court bail.

Yeah thats great karma.

Shizzite mate that is some bad shite.... can't believe they've gone that harsh on you! Some ned in the UK can steal a car, joyride it, crash into a house and still get away with probation. The law really does suck if you try to do the right thing. Fuck it, lets all become Council funded car theifs and go on a Renault TWOC'n rampage.

Lets be honest - You've admitted that you were driving without insurance but the punishment is totally disproportionate to the crime. Fuck, if you're gonna do time for that i'd go out and beat some fucker to death and start some real shit just to get my moneys worth.

cos I have been banned twice before.

i might get lucky and get a 3 or 5 year but tbh I have to prepare for a 25 year ban.

Although on a 25er you can reapply after 13 to the courts.

Nope never resisted arrest etc, the copper even took the car keys and kept them! Nothign we can do abotu it.

he gave them eventually to amber after threatening her and my mum!
