I''m delighted to see the Gassing Station particularly busy these days but I''m also disappointed to see that there''s an increased amount of crap being posted. So, because I''m feeling particularly dictatorial, there''ll be some new rules! - If you''re going to be funny, be funny. If you''re not funny please don''t try. - I am sooo bored of people reminding us that TVRs are unreliable. If you''ve got a technical query or genuine frustration then by all means post. If you''re just going to bleat on about the cars being crap then go back to wherever you came from. - I don''t want to introduce members only posting, but it''s looking likely. - In the true democracy that the Gassing Station is, I will be deleting the more puerile messages until we can get this place back into the humourous, intelligent and informative forum that it is for 90% of the time. Yours, Herr Ted.

Ted, How do we know if we're being funny, I like my (warped on occasions) humour but I might be deluding myself. Are you going to introduce a 'yellow card' system to warn us or will it be instant Binned sticker followed by expulsion to the Gardeners World site? Will you send out a sticker to those souls damned to live for ever branded UNFUNNY? I can just see it now across the windscreen - I'VE BEEN BINNED BY www.pistonheads.com or I'VE BEEN PIED BY TED Ok, I'll get me wellies and trowel. Edited by JSG on Thursday 13th September 00:03

The 'almost' bright spark called Joe Phandango possibly. Didn't I see him with Sue Berue the other day? Edited by JSG on Thursday 13th September 09:34 Edited by JSG on Thursday 13th September 09:36

I must say, Campbell, I'm really impressed with the way you take the constant ribbing from people on this site. I know it's all friendly anyway, but most people would never react as well as you. Nice one!

I'm not asking people to refrain from posting problems about their cars, that's what the forum is for as much as anything. What I'm bored off is single replies like "Well, what do you expect. TVRs break down all the time anyway" and that type of tedium. As for stickers... I've been promising those for about a year now and still not sorted them out
