Hiya

Looking for a member of the 1st gen RX7 forum to have a look at a post for me and give me an overview of the contents

http://www.rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1868&p=18318#p18318

A user here has sent me a PM containing that link and i have no idea what it contains as im not a member

The person who sent it me is german ( i think ) and im not sure what the PM meant , but it contained that link .. so just wondering if someone can have a nosey for me

Thanks

Stu

It says that he is from Maidenhead, UK (ex NZ)

Link contains pics of JDM FC cab. He is breaking it, i think. Actually, car looks quite good

[grinder]

is it an auto by any chance ?

[Arnie_O]

Yes mate... Auto it is.

[grinder]

OK thanks chaps

I have signed up and just trying to get approved to actually make posts

[grinder]

well thats lasted a long time , it would seem i have been banned from their forum for not having a FB ....

[Arnie_O]

Lol.. Like trying to get on FDUK without an FD.
seems crazy, if your looking to buy

[grinder]

well yeah its very silly i have to admit

BUT thats the way of the world

Next they will be asking for chassis numbers of the car you have to prove you own one

I dont think its helping the community AT ALL ( regardless of fb/fc/fd/fe etc.. )

[TiddlesRX7]

What a load of crap that is. What if you want to join to learn more about the cars before you buy one? Seriously hurts the fan base I would think

We should all club together and buy Blitzboy an FB . He would sort them out .Lol.:rollin
( no offence Mr Blitzboy i find you highly entertaining).:spank

i tell you what , if i ever break any of my FC\'s i will be throwing parts in the bin rather than selling them to someone from the FB forum ..

Does seem some forums have an elitism going on experinced a few situations in the past when fact finding.

ive thought about it for the last 20 or so mins , and to be honest its really dis-heartened me

Its such a crying shame that as rotary owners we cant all play nice together

Its like a i have a sudden hatred for FB owners just cause of whats happened and i KNOW thats not a nice thing to feel

Its hurt quiet deep and i really do feel like an outcast just cause my car is newer than theirs

I understand where they are coming from and that its a FB only site .. but i wasnt there to make trouble etc.. , i just wanted parts for my car ...

They could have let me gone about my business and i could have slipped away without anyone noticing

Its been a very surreal experience and i wouldnt wish it on anyone

It\'s the utter petty futility of it, regardless of all other previous encounters it was simply an opportunity for some simple commerce to occur.  Someone there was selling something grinder wanted to buy, grinder would have bought something, seller would have got some money for it, both parties would have left satisfied.  It\'s so mind-numbingly simple and the reason for preventing it is so utterly idiotic that it\'s truly baffling.

All I can think is that the FB forum doesn\'t want people selling things on it to actually sell what they\'re advertising.

I supposed im used to MRC and the fact that we have users with every type of car

I didnt realise how the FB site worked , and to be fair , its their site they can run it how they want and we can run ours how we want

I have never been on FD UK so i dont know if they ONLY allow people with FD\'s on there , if thats how they run their site then it makes perfect sense for the FB site to be run in the same fashion

I suppose its like going to another country and not knowing their rules/cultures 100% .. its a lesson learnt i suppose .. but i still feel bitter about it .. i shouldnt really its a car with 4 sodding wheels .. LOL
