Just read the tail end of this thread and Railhai has hit the nail on the head,all you lot do is try and slag or find fault with pretty much anything good or bad that comes on the forum by picking at wot ever it might be,Yes Railhail with all the mods Done to mine I stick to Wot I said about Valuation and for the record Martin painted my 260z in about 2005 and it still looks the nuts now, in fact I spoke to Raihail after our Le Mans trip last year as needed to match up the paint and he was most helpful as Martin was on holiday,got hold of Martin in the end and as for wot Ralhail said about people leaving the club is true due to the fact you can’t have a laugh and joke on here cos certain people don’t like it
I say keep up the Z builds he does cos they are really nice and bottom line is he doesn’t need a forum full of negative comments that he might get on here cos if he doesn’t want to tell you where he gets his stuff then I say good on yer
Comparison with that is someone wanted to do a cover of an ABBA song and Benny said write yer own songs hence you vary rarely hear a band do a cover of an ABBA song
So wot I say is lets all be nice and be car enthusiasts like some of us truly are and stop nitpicking at every poxy car that comes to light cos it is wot it is ,simple really ,you might even get people want to join the forum instead of leave like some of us are doing when our membership expires
I think there is an element of that on this forum, and it as a subject crops up all the time. Perhaps that as a topic - that could be pursued in the members area - and that discussion could be encouraged and supported by the club/comittee?
I don't think that actual 'car bashing' was prevalent on this thread - and from memory ( and I'm quoting post moderation) there wasnt any criticism of actual MZR vehicles or workmanship?
In fact quite the contrary. There was a general admiration for the cars themselves and for what the Company have acheived . That in itself is a positive ( for the club ? -and potential future relations).
There has to be room for debate and discussion to keep the forum alive and threads ticking over . Opinions differ and how people stress those opinions will also vary. I agree there is probably room for fourm etiquette improvement - and in the meantime we are in the hands of the mods on that I guess.
Without members like yourself with passion and experience - there isnt a club . I've benefiitted from being a member on technical issues , and gain inpsiration from thread builds and enjoy much of the banter - and i consider it just that. I just ignore it if its not to my taste.
Before you decide to leave have a cup of tea and a think .
Its water poured over the teabag - then teabag removed before adding the milk.
If your having a scone with it . Butter - then jam - then cream ..................
️ - and I’m not sure if google translate had a hand - but this is taking personalisation a step further.
