Manky Monkey Motors

I have been kicked off the mopar muscle association board.

Get this for the last few years i have had nothing but pith taking,at first it was funny but then it started to get boring,personal attacks such as my lack of education,my weight etc etc,the final straw was within the last couple of days,one of the guys has been basically telling me that bentleys are better than muscle cars,[wether they are or not aint the issue] he also owns a couple,he posted up a thread asking for "71-74 roadrunners to be cut up and post on youtube" a few people replied with some other cars he then said "sorry i should have said 72 with the ugly front end like simon's" i asked if there was any need for that he did not reply anyway i cant rememeber what he said next but i said why dont you use a bently instead he said "neah i want to use a complete eefing piss of ship" blah blah completly and utterly trashing my car

Well i went mental calling him all names under the sun [these personal attacks from just him have been going on almost a year] i went absolutly mental i mean yeah fair play for kicking me off the site,but what is the point we are all there for the same hobby,why trash somones car,somones personal life etc etc as far as im concernd its as good as bullying

Thats crap mate.
This is the only forum that I post on. Too many opinionated wankers on other forums who wouldnt know one end of a spanner from the other, yet will still tell you how wrong you or you car is. Ive got quite fed up with forums lately, they seem to be full of moaners!

Not this one!

just cant understand people at times. One mans meat is another mans poison,,and just because someone does,nt particulary like one thing or another,that does,nt give em the right to slag off anybodies intrest, pastimes, machines ,or any kind of hobby they have.
Hold your head up hi mate and take no notice,ime sure your still more than welcome here.

i'm a member of a car club and the last couple of years have had a stand at an indoor show. we (our little collection withhin the club) decided we would only put used cars on 'our' stand in competition to the official stand. last year when we turned up one of the club officials said ''i didn't know you were coming'' i said '' we thought we'd keep it as a surprise'' the reply was ''we don't like surprises like that''. that made the day even better  ;D. this year we were blanked by them, but we came 3rd and they got nowt  ;D then i got the award for services to the club.

if that's the way the mma want to carry on then ignore 'em. if we all liked the same thing it would be a really boring world. 

I am really glad i am out of there,i think you can easily get wrapped up in what the club thinks the ways should be and ideas etc,when really we should all be in the hobby for our own reasons,me personally is the injoyment of the car,peoples reaction and excitment about seeing the car on the street gives me a huge buzz,and making freinds with like minded people.

I have seen the MMA in a completly different light in the last couple of years or so,and its a real shame because as mopars go that is it for the uk.

From what i have seen the cheeky manky monkies certainly are the most relaxed,long live this great small group of people  ;)

I again dont post elsewhere so cant really comment on the protacols of other forums. When we post anything its open to comment from all members of a forum, some wiil like what we do, others wont, everyone is different and will have different opinions, thats what makes it interesting. There will also be personality clashes within forums, some people you`ll take to more than others and they to you. Constructive criticism should always be welcomed and sometimes heeded, negative opinions although never welcomed also have the same right to be aired. Slaiting someone personally and publicly should never be allowed though,cheeky is one thing, abusive is another. I would have thought that its the job of the admin to review whatever has gone beforehand and make an unbiased decision as to what action should be taken.

eh up stroker, sounds like your well out of it mate  ;D ;D so many sad f**ks out there... board sounds like a bunch of tossers if they didn't back you up  8) 8) 8) stick here amongst the misfits  8) 8) 8)

Yeah,It's good here,f**+k em's wot I say  >:( >:( >:(

Yeah must admit i do feel at home with the "misfits" lol

I suppose opinion are like arsholes,and i can take a joke or banter just like the next man,but regardless of what everyone else thinks of it that car is my life,i spend what little money i have making it better.

But never mind its done now,just wanted to have a bit of a rant.

I cannot wait for the new season to start woohoo

Christ Si that's not fare. Hope they got rid of the other guy, (PM me if you want). I only joined the MMA because as you say it's the only place in the UK to get advice on a car that I love and want to get back on the road, (for me to enjoy how I want). I don't go on there much anymore but have it notify me by email if someone writes in my thread. I occasionaly browse the for sale section but that's about it. I love the cars for what they are and can't be bothered with the "who has the bigger engine" or "who's spent how much". You are always welcome here any time and you have my number so give us a shout if you need something, (so long as it's not money or Andy's body and you aint getting them  ;D) Chin up and enjoy life doing what you want when you want and how you want.  ;D

I think once Taz's charger is finished the pair of you should have a sticker made for the back window F**k the MMA and attend as many shows as you can  :P :P :P :P but thats the kind of mood I'm in tonight  >:( >:( >:( having a major tiff with my computer  >:( >:( >:( >:( so you may not even get this message  ::) ::) ::)

Thanks tanya i will have to give you a ring and catch up soon.I dont think they will be getting rid of the other guy,as the mods do not feel any need,they obviously saw the funny side of it as they were not the butt of the jokes and bullying.

In the meantime im just looking forward to being a monkey ;D

Ha Ha yeah that would be a good idea,although i still have freinds there.

Sounds like someone needs to start a new friendly forum for those cars!

It just wouldn't happen here, not only cos the people who join tend to be open-minded sorts who are interested in lots of different vehicles but because Andy and Tanya just wouldn't have it!

 Who are they?

We is the law.  :P
Sorry to hear about this Simon. I don't think we've seen you entirely sober yet, but we kinda like you that way! I'm always struck by just how enthusiastic you are about your car & attending runs, shows & races in it. It's very definitely built to be enjoyed, rather than just polished. I'd say you're just the kind of owner the Mopar guys should be looking for. I've joined a few one make owners clubs over the years, mainly to make use of their knowledge & contacts, but have found they all tend to be a bit obsessive about it all. This is supposed to be fun!
Policing a forum can be a bit of a minefield. We're been very fortunate, (so far), not to attract trouble makers. The emphasis here is on enjoying the scene, whatever section of it interests you, & helping others to do the same. In the 5 years or so we've been running, we've only had a couple of instances where we've had to step in. That's down to the goodwill of the members -you lot.
We is a happy, fluffy little forum -& Taz will slap anyone who says we ain't!

Well most forums (apart form this and one or two others) get mobbed by twats in the end. ::)

Hey ho... For what it's worth I think your car is fab and if I could afford it I'd have one just like it (in Black of course) It has bags of character and is a real head turner.

Just my thoughts  ;)

Sounds like someone needs to start a new friendly forum for those cars!

 



 well i think the mma stink :D :D   and ther,s room here  and i,v got a yank aswell  but not exactly a ,,muscle, car :D

Was thinking the other day that the members on this forum are well behaved! Ive also been on some forums that are frequented by t*****ers. Even the bad languauge on here is minimal! (not that I dont swear !)I think its inevitable(laws of averages 'n' all that!) there will be an invasion of problem members at some pioint.
          Rod

I gave up on the AACI forum in the end it was too clicky and got bored with the car snobbery...Voodoo....

I was going to say something almost like that,the mma has become just like the aaci,you cant even swear on the board because it is a "family messageboard" well what are they going to do at a show bugger all its modding for the sake of modding as far as i am concerned a dictatorship.

thank you all so much for your kind comments,i honestly do feel this club is much more fuzzy wuzzy than the others,as i dont think you take yourselfs to seriously and you are there for the reason we all should the love of whatever you are into and the people around us that are likminded.

I actually started sobbing when i read that :'( thank you

p.s i do like my drinks dont i yeeeeeah maybe i should cut down on that,hay you saw me sober at the basingstoke meet,or did i have a drink before i came out  :-\ ;)

 ;D Everyone warned us Taz's Charger would be a money pit & would go on eating money till it bankrupted us. They were right, but we're focusing on that first trip out in it when it's finished.
It'll all be worth it when it's back on the road. Good luck Si!

I am getting it done by a soda blaster up near birmingham,he has quoted me under 10k for all the bodywork panels etc and painting,he also think its going to be a bit less

the pain is going to be all the little bits and mechanical stuff,but fortunatly me and kiwi are going to put that stuff together so that wont cost me much

Yeah, we started with figures like that too.  ;D

not with what i drive  ;D

It will be nice when you decide which colour your going to paint it  :P ;D



Thats the problem some forums take themselves to seriously and it takes all the fun out of it  ::)
Don't post much here but at least it's fun  (Creep  :-*)

We love you too Neil!  :-*
Hurry up & send us a write up on that Chevy eh!
