To be honest, I don't think its just the Griff forum.

The whole site seems to be on a bit of a downer.

People ask a question, or make a comment, next thing there's a fking slanging match going on, and half the time its over nothing.

There seem to be a lot of folk who like to big em selves up by putting someone else down.

I'm not talking about banter between mates, some of em are down right nasty.

I've seriously considered spending a bit more time on the club website, just to see if there's less of an atmosphere.

There are certain threads on this site that I'd like to contribute to, but just can't be arsed, as some fker will come back with a smart arse remark.

There seems to be a lot of the good guys have left, and the dheads are running the show.

The only places I tend to visit now are Major mods, Griff, Chim, TVR stuff.
Most other forums are full of idiots.
Hey come on mate ....We all have a laugh most of the time buddy smile

On reflection, I think Wheeler, the crazy genius, was as much responsible for TVR's demise as the Russian boy wonder. punch
You may be right LA, its not like he turned the company around 180degrees wink

Pasco's more to blame, punters see him & think F TVR's evilhehe

but I do enjoy blaming Pasco for everything :-)

Yep,

Griff and Chim forums are the best on PH.


But there seems to be a bit of an atmosphere around the whole site.

Can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't like it.




As an example, I recommended this site to a local guy recently. He was less than complementry. He was a Jag owner.
Said it wasn't the sort of website he'd like to be assoiated with.
Well if its any conciliation buddy.. I'm also a Jag owner mate... check out my Profile ...Perhaps he's a bit of a snob hehe

That's his problem IMHO smile

"CC" always sounds like a chocolate bar filled with rice crispies. smile
Thats more like Pasco buys Crunchies in the 1,000,000's ~ just to fill a gap between elevenses and lunch wink

Sorry, Spend, I missed your remark. Don't you mean 360 degrees? wink
'Not like he did a U-turn' is in pretty much the same vein as 'he nearly did a 360'.. really ? hehe

I think there are a lot of trolls about Andy... But the major disappointment is the lack of discussion and open mindedness on the site these days. There seems to be an element that don't want to look around different solutions / ideas / directions, just too focused on 'you must do it this way' / 'how do I do this'. As most of us 'older timers' (or farts on your case tongue out) know there are always different ways of tackling things and many diverse solutions.

Face it! how many more 'will these wheels fit' threads can we put up with hehe Its such a complex box to measure wink

What about a 'bone' of the week thread award? rofl

Andy, I `ve been reading your posts with interest ever since I first found pistonheads, and to be honest mate I regard you as a sort of "Agony Uncle", whenever theres a problem, handy andy is always there posting helpful photos showing us how to do this or that, top stuff mate, so keep it up, and don`t shy away to t`other side too much!!hehe





anyway,............ dear Uncle Andy, my wife says I should dress up more, be a bit smarter rather than just the dirty jeans and the egg stained t shirt, I didn`t hear much of what she shouted at me after the dress up more bit, hence now she is threatening to leave me as I am wearing her clothes in an attempt to please her, but I am dressing up for her, ( and in fact some of it is quite nice, have you ever changed an oil filter wearing a mini skirt?) please help, what am I doing wrong,...........a totally confused griff owner!frownfrownfrown
