me wonders if he was in his early teens with the attitude and name calling.

 

Don't tar them all with the same brush - some can be almost human 

And in reference to the ageist comment  - at 54 should I be swapping my miggies in for a mobility scooter? 

Yep

What do you mean "Yep"!!

Only if I can have one with self levelling suspension and go faster stripes.

He can't have been that young if he has had 4oo Vauxhalls since the 80's........(Deb's Smiley)

Whats to say they weren't matchbox cars

...., dont see the point in having an autopsy tbh.

No point at all, but it passes the time & gives us all something to talk about.     

PS we have post mortems on this side of the Atlantic   

And post counts,   250 to sell and I'm sure that was his problem.

Oops, and I'm 75 full Yrs, and think miggy and oof help to make life still well worth living !!

I'm not going to get into the age thing, but memory is good enough to remember birthdays with a 5 in front..  I reckon he must have been part of the 10% Josh worries about ?? Why do so many of these youngsters think that 'the world started when they were born' ? Since joining this forum, I have enjoyed it immensely. Many groups/forums I have belonged too, that have as many members as this one, are indeed 'quite hard work', in as much as they seem to contain little groups of buddies who, don't take too kindly to new gatecrashers, but I have found that many on here try to help with a problem, not to mention the easily acquired expertise that saves Miggy owners a lot of money. Mentioning Josh, 20 years old, and a nicer feller you couldn't wish to meet. I was lucky enough to buy Chrisgixers Miggy, bothered him with a couple of texts, as you do when you're a 'boring old fart', he phoned very quickly, 'end of problem'. Now, I have met many who would have said, 'not my car anymore mate'. At the Oxford meet The Boy spent longer than I could expect of anyone, sorting a couple of problems on my car, 'did he accept payment' ? Not a bit of it, nor did he say, 'well, if you want to book it in' etc. A fantastic site, helpful people, WITHOUT all the stupid cursing and name calling that seems to abound these days. I hope I don't get into trouble for this comment but, 'glad to see the likes of you leave mate'....

.....
all you all seem nice people but maybe not in my age range as you all seem to drive relaxing "standard" comfortable auto's  ...

I don't think there's an age range not catered for here. There are lad in their very early 20s, loads of old(er) buggers like me in their 40s and those who are older still     
And there are loads who 'want to be in control' with an extra pedal   

Bl**dy hell Andy, Im 53, youve just made feel a heap load better.

Think Im going to delete my account now.

Today you're 53. Tomorrow you'll be pushing up the daisys.

Does that make you feel better?   





(just jesting)

I think you're right.  He seemed to have a really hard time understanding the reasons behind it too. 

Anyway, he went off in a huff and that's his problem.  Some other forum can enjoy his expertise and unique form of discussion.  Can't say I'll miss him.

Strange. Very strange.

I think that British irony can often transfer poorly when you just have the words, without hearing how its meant to be said.

When I say ''Oh what a genius i am'' or indeed ''You pillock!'' It's a safe bet I actually mean the exact opposite.

On those grounds.... Oh what a nice bloke he was.

That old?

He is 33, so driving 15yrs, I make that a new car every 12 days or so

So sounds like he gets bored quickly then...bored of his cars after 12 days, bored of all of us, what can I say, I feel sorry for his missus. 8-)

[05omegav6]

his missus.

Oh dear :-? Is that another assumption?
I'd be surprised if he had one. Oops there goes another one
