I'm sure they'll post in due course, should they wish to. Nothing to do with me.
Look, I only piped up because I knew what had *actually* happened here. If I hadn't, we'd have the 'nasty forum chased them away' narrative being treated as accepted fact rather than the nonsense that it is.

Not to sure what forums you frequent Alan but in my recent experience no its not par for the course.

Well, for example, two weeks ago I was called out as a "Troll" on a Z-specific forum of which I have been a member for around 18 years. The guy who did this has been a member there for a couple of years at most, and most of his posts are from the last few months or so. My offence? Something totally banal. Too trivial to bother explaining. But he cried "Troll!", as though he was judge, jury and executioner and as though there could be no comeback. It seems quite common elsewhere too. Likewise Facebook and Twitter. I find it hard to imagine that our friend Mr MichaelR would have received any more of a cotton wool welcome elsewhere.
OK, I'm open-minded and willing to learn something here. Read back through this thread and point out any posts, or comments in posts, which you consider problematic. Show me.
Honestly, I don't see anything particularly rude, unwelcoming or confrontational there. Some (healthy!) scepticism maybe, but that is quite understandable in answer to the description and robust asking price combined with a lack of good photos. My own post was - I hope - good advice paired with some (rhetorical) questions and a polite request for a glovebox base photo, and an explanation for that request. It went unanswered...
Thought your request for glovebox piccie was quite good as I learnt something there and probably the few that are in here did also as for the sceptical requests which some would say are scarcastic can just pissss some people off and they disappear depending how they take it really and there are trolls everywhere,just ignore them

So Michael’s response was blown from nothing?
And even,
My last comment on the subject.

Oh come on. That response was just the tenth post on his thread, and five of the previous posts were his! This is not even a storm in a teacup.
Noted. Thanks for engaging.

I think its quite easy to under estimate the value of original rhd cars. The last one that needed a complete rebuild went for something like £23 on Ebay and as i know you will spend at least that amount and more to restore to a good quality finish. They seem to be fetching good money and why not the Zeds are great cars.
I must say i have found every one very helpful on this forum and had some great advice. Might test the waters with my car soon who knows
