What are you trying to prove? That your a smug git? Are you trying to raise your self worth? piss off. Take a running jump it had nothing to do with you. And your first sentence doesn't make sense.
I explained above that we had our wires crossed (chip and myself). It was a misunderstanding.
You dont understand The context in which it was meant in the first place. That much IS aparrent or else this convo wouldn't be taking place.
Something that is run-of-the-mill is a common, everyday, ordinary item that does not stand out from all the rest. In other words, something or someone that is "run-of-the-mill" is probably not notable.
Now just so i eat another piece of humble pie, i meant a mass produced stock engine in a mk2 escort, AS OPPOSED to a mildly tuned, cheap as chips pinto / x-flow / or zetec with enough poke to keep you tail happy would interest me more. The guy stated he wanted something to build to keep him busy and everyone said s2000 s2000 s2000.
