I bet you I could be as compentent if not more so than technicians that are recruited into dealerships.
and older
(couldn't resist, sorry)
Right, in all seriousness now.
I apologise, I have been away for the site for a couple of days, as had M_DTM, and I kept AA away yesterday. That did leave poor LB66 dealing with everything, and he is busy with work anyway. And busy answering stupid calls from me
. So if there was an issue that Admins should have dealt with, it is my fault, and I personally apologise to you.
I am unaware of the sitution, either regarding the member, or why postcount was deducted. No sure if 2 are really linked anyway, other than a bit of fun. If you find the postcount upsetting, then I apologise on behalf of the team if it was done for fun. Not that we'll stop doing it though :p
This site is built on the foundations of a friendly forum, where nobody gets neglected through being inexperienced (don't think for 1s I am referring to you!), or not being in the 'in crowd'
So, whenever personal conflicts like this happen, I take it as a personal failure on my part. And I don't like to fail
Nobody knows how to do every job on a car, even Mr DTM himself. I have seen Mr DTM make mistakes, as we all do. However, I would consider him to be one of the best Omega specialists in the country still. Whilst, James, I doubt you are as competent as M_DTM in most areas, I personally think you are more competent than most Vx trained techs. I would have no hesitation in letting you work on my car, as you well know.
All that said, and remember I do not know the situation, or the member involved, I guess if the member did not feel confident in letting you work on his car (for whatever reason), then I guess that is his choice and should also be respected. It may be an expensive car, his pride and joy etc etc. However, I hope he appreciated you time, effort, and expense none the less.
If either party want to contact me, or one of the other Admins instead, please feel free to do so.
