since when did 'steelem' earn the right to call anyone a retard..??

STEFANOS4784

Why would he need to 'earn the right'? Doesn't stop everyone else from doing it. Even if it's in a roundabout kinda way

morstar

f*cking tories.
We've got to earn the right to use words now have we? I don't recall that being in the manifesto.


Maybe the lib dems snuck it in.

Steelem,

@s sake. This is insane.

Actually feel bad about finding it funny but read it through. It is funny.

For instance, you believe the seller is some kind of crook and yet in the face of some very very explicit advice you hand the wheels back to him without payment. These are not the actions of a rational individual.

I hope you get this sorted, I really do. You're not making things easy for yourself though.

Have you even read through this thread? It's mental. Get a sense of humour. Steelem's obviously got one and he's just spuffed two large on a bike he's gone out of his way not to inspect properly.

Pretty sexy bike though, whatever size.

Dude, threatening to kill someone on a text message is not a very good idea. What if the object of your hatred decides to go to the police?

Yep the repurcussions of that WILL come back and bite you on the @ss if you harrass this guy...not clever :roll:

steelem

Steelem,

there's a guy called jezmo you should meet. You'll get on well.

And if you need a compact chainset, I think that sasquatch could be your best buddy.

Some would call it suspicious but they are all so far up their own a**es and self centred to add anything to another poster's thread.

I really would like to know if this guys is as childish in real life as he comes across in writing.

On that subject....

I knew a nice chap who decided to sell his £35,000 sports car via the classifieds at the back of one of the Sunday papers. The sale was so he could buy the same model car, but 1 year newer, as this apparently had some mechanical tweak which he longed for. So rather than trade at a stealers, he went down this route of a private sale. He's dead canny, you see, my chap...

So a fella answers his advert and they arange to meet up for the fella to check out the car. My chap takes the fella for a spin, and the fella then decides he'd like to drive, thank you very much. Now my chap is no fool, oh no, so while he agrees to let the fella drive, he takes the keys out of the car while they swap positions. No scamming my chap, you see...

So they've swapped positions, my chap hands the keys over, and the fella starts her up, and goes to pull away. But "somehow" he manages to stall it, and strangely, as the car jerks when stalling, the boot/hatch opens (nothing to do with him having discretely popped the lid as he walked past it, I'm sure). Anyway, ever so eager to help, my chap jumps out to close it, only to see the fella boot it and drive off into the distance in his £35,000 sports car.

Some people just have all the bad luck, don't they?

But his "run of bad luck" hadn't yet finished...

A few weeks earlier, because my chap knew he was planning to sell the car, he "cleverly" decided not to renew his insurance, to save himself a hundred quid or so. On his £35,000 sports car.

Now when he phoned his "insurers", to advise them that he'd handed the keys to his car to a stranger, who'd then driven off in it, and so could they please send him a cheque for £35,000, they were probably quite relieved to tell him that no, on this occasion they couldn't. Obviously, he was rather disappointed at that news, and it took him rather a long time to accept it, insisting for some time that the insurers must pay up, before eventually, grudgingly accepting his plight...

And he was further disappointed to recall that he'd financed the £35,000 car's purchase entirely through loans. Which he still owed in their entirety to the finance company.

Ooh, you'd kick yourself, wouldn't you?

:roll:





Felt rather sorry for the chap, truth be known, despite his crazy behaviour!

Oh Lordy, that's unfortunate, but did he fill pages of the Autocar forum with the story?

Are you aware that you've just added to the length of this thread?

Anyway, it's total madness. Can't wait to find out what completely insane decision will get made next. I've a feeling steelem might be about to sign over the deeds of his house to the e bay seller guy in return for a roll of bar tape, which will get posted next september.

Come on steelem, what you up to?

He said he's dismantling his bike so I can go and look at the frame. I'm not very happy this morning . I didn't go out with the club after all Jim and was going to go to the airport to pick the wife up. She rang me about 9 o clock to tell me her flight had been cancelled and she was having to go to Gatwick now and won't be in till tea time so I could have gone out with the club aftr all .

Hello there steelem,

Perfect, we're all set. Going to watch the grand prix whilst keeping an eye on this thread ticking over.

Bring on the insanity.

You're not far wrong actually. He blamed everyone but himself. Bored us senseless about the insurer's obligations to pay up. Got solicitors involved. Easier to do that than accept personal responsibility and the reality of the situation. Human nature - defence mechanism. The bigger the loss, the greater the tendency to do that.

there will be no insanity until tonight

'there will be no insanity until tonight'


can't say I share your optimism.


But let's face it. this guy is not going to come up with the cash. Remind me again why you sent the wheels without having received payment.

Lucky Luke

I hope he does get paid then he might think about letting me look at the frame . Steelem have you managed to dismantal it yet so I can come and look at it ? I still dont even know properly where you are .
