I always got on well with Matt, I'm not a pistonhead/car enthusiast in the slightest so never got drawn in to the BMW debates.
People did bait him, knowing what the response would be, now whether or not someone takes the bait is another matter. Matt couldn't help himself it seems.
It's a shame to see him go, he seemed a top bloke (car stuff aside) and hopefully he will return at some point soon.0 -
I PM'd him during one flame war and he was doing it on purpose - trolling the troll. He wasn't the biggest troll on here by any means.The Big Cheese wrote:People did bait him, knowing what the response would be, now whether or not someone takes the bait is another matter.

I think the main problem with Matt was his would miss the point of some posts completely and think everyone was ‘having a go’ at BMW’s. Yes, I have baited him in the past, as I don’t like the 335d BMW’s. And, unlike some other forumites, I’ve actually driven at least half a dozen of them, so am at least coming to my point of view from some sort of actual experience of them.
An example of Matt missing the point, would be one of last night’s posts by me:El Capitano wrote:Actually, I got an excellent slipstream from drafting from a BMW 335d estate (black) on the way home tonight. No other cars in front of it, was doing about 25mph in a 40 zone. I was really grateful as there was a stupidly strong headwind on the way home.
You weren't driving around south Wales this eveing were you Matt?
Now that was a genuine post. I’m convinced the driver was a cyclist as they were driving very smoothly, no sudden stops or accelerations, so I could sit in their slipstream and ride home at a pretty reasonable speed. From what I’m led to believe, this car was identical to Matt’s. Matt completely missed this and his response was:Surf-Matt wrote:I was actually El Cap - I was stuck behind some muppet in a milk float - weirdly it had the marking "Subaru" and "Legacy" written on it and the trace of a hastily removed 3.0R next to that. It was being driven by some grey haired old git who just wouldn't pull over.
Erm yeah…I was on the CX bike, not driving the Cakemobile. Obviously, I should have responded with “My hair may be grey, but at least I still have some”, but decided everything had got completely out of hand by then…
Its a pity he's been banned and I do genuiely hope he comes back.0 -

Banning seems a bit harsh but then so is this:

Wow guys, last night was a little crazy on here. I was never a fan of him bringing his money, surfing and car into most conversations, but in a way i will miss him.

Well i will miss him, apparently he's also my wife?
I too am a pistonhead and i leave my opinions at home most of the time but sometimes you cant help a little BMW baiting.

Ah man, he called my car a slightly tarted up repmobile that would be thrashed by a 320d.
I'll have to send it to the crusher now.0 -
