General Discussion Area / Phaeton ....Opinions please

« on: 08 November 2009, 11:31:48 »

An ex-work colleague....is thinking of selling his second hand VW Phaeton.
It is a 6 litre W12....(I thought that they were V12.....shows how little I know.)on a 2005 ...55 plate.
It has covered about 80,000 miles....and he  is looking at about £9000-£10,000.
It reminds me of the Omega ......in some ways.....A premium product with a budget badge. .....which could explain the horrendous depreciation....about £70,000 when new.
It is a large beast .......much bigger than a Omega.....but it would suit the Optimist family needs .........with the exception of fuel and spare part costs.
Your opinions please......

General Discussion Area / Shapely Rump.

« on: 11 October 2009, 19:36:12 »

I have just removed the towbar............from my 51 plate facelift saloon.
I have not used it.........even once .......in the two years since I first  owned the car.
The rump of the car ...........looks so much better without that ugly lump of iron sticking out the back...it now looks like Jennifer Lopez. .....with it on it looked more like Ann Widdecombe   :-/ :-/

According to the Omega handbook................the car is now 24kg lighter. .....so I should get slightly improved........acceleration.......economy......and braking.
 I have all the brackets /bolts ....etc ...etc...so if anyone is in need of a towbar ....then let me know.

General Discussion Area / Beware of Old Etonians

« on: 24 September 2009, 19:35:51 »

So New Labour may well be finished...................but consider this.
Apparently..................fourteen of David Camerons front bench spokesmen............are Old Etonians.....and another three work in his private office.
some of these inept.....incompetent.......pompous.....inbred....Tory buffoons......date back as far as the Thatcher era. :-/ :-/ :-/
Now I'am not a big fan of New Labour..(they have flattered to deceive)...............but I fail to see how a gathering of "sore bottomed" public school boys. ...could be of any help to the average man in the street......................Unless they are wealthy ......of course.

This is an interesting....if lengthy read

General Discussion Area / Dusty

« on: 08 May 2009, 11:58:37 »

Right then.......................now lets see what Dusty actually said.............She politely asked for some help to fix her car..............got a limited response.............and so.............. said she was disappointed.

Disappointment is a human emotion.....what of it.

Then Dusty decided for a number of reasons that the forum was not for her..........Her prerogative.............She left on what she thought was good terms...............Telling everyone to have a great summer............... and a great life............and then after that she is treated tothe usual..............  OOF sheep follow sheep  tirade.

So................how do I know so much about Dusty.............Well simple..............I have been Mr Dusty for the last 18 years.............as far as we are aware................ only the admin and ....(Jimbob we think) and Dusty's friend Lizzie.................... were aware of this.................. as we liked to post independently.............of each other especially.................... as my very un PC views do not coincide with Dusty's somewhat softer approach.

Quite frankly..................... I don't like the way that some of you sh**heads are speaking about my wife.

Dusty has been very ill for several years now................and has had many regular hospital tests..........prods............. and probes........and major operations...............Some of the medicines she requires fall outside of the national health.................. and thus we have to pay for it ourselves............Dusty being the strong character that she is did not want to bring her ailments to the forum.........That is her way...........

Which is why Dusty thought................ that when her miggy needed expensive MOT work......................it was adding expense .............on top of expense......which we could ill afford.............so she thought maybe OOF could help...............I know Dusty is extremely distressed with how she has been treated by some of you lot.


Read her last post................ and ask yourself why you have treated someone this way.................... Tell me if you can find anything unpleasant in it............. to act the way that............ you have.

We tried to cancel Dusty's membership last night by deleting her profile. But she still appears to be a member. So I politely ask that TB show (us both) as ex members. As I no longer want to be part of this forum either. Quite frankly we have more important............... life threatening................. things to deal with.....in the coming weeks and months.

To the forum members who resisted following the herd well done . To the usual OOF sheep who are always there when someone leaves......shame on you.

General Discussion Area / Admin team......good and bad.

« on: 16 April 2009, 14:21:35 »

Getting on for 2000 posts...............here at OOf .......and I have enjoyed it.

Most of the guys and girls are great...........and overall TB and his admin team have done a great job................they seem to believe in "light touch regulation".....are generally not judgemental......and believe in just letting us get on with it.

O.K............... we all know that there were a few problems with a couple of members last night ................but OOF is still a good place to be.

But I do feel that the admin team has lost it's way a little today. :-/

The admin team has said............and I quote.

"just so everybody is aware .....................I will be putting a monitor on certain people's PM boxes......................This gives me the ability to view   PRIVATE MESSAGES."

SorryTB .......but this is not acceptable to me ........and I hope not to other independent OOF thinkers either.

These messages are by their very nature ............well ......PRIVATE.
We all speak at length on this forum ................about "freedom of speech"....and the threat of big brother...............and the erosion of our civil liberties.

This invasion of our private communications ...................is something that I would expect to find in the Romania of Nichalai Cercescu............or the U.S.S.R. of Stalin. :-/ :-/ :-/

So come on TB...................in my opinion ..............you are one of the good guys ..............it's really best not to go down this route.

I think that this would be a good opportunity.........................for the admin team to tell us all ..............................that they have no interest in our private affairs .....................just as we have no interest in theirs.
