[quote="maria"]

What is it with you? people have offered to help thru NO persuasion from myself, its out of the kindess of their own hearts, now fair enough we are ll entitled to our own opinions, but cheers buddy for really putting a downer on things for me! I really fucking appreciate that!
[quote]

I am really sorry that i have offended you but clearly you haven't done anything that you think you have. Your playing the whole inncoent girl act meanwhile your not. Straight from the start you didn't bad mouth SCC although it was implied by leaving out details in your bill and letting everyone presume that they have ripped you off.

Likewise, you sat here and let people believe that you spent £9k on an engine and a bit of bufty bits, and it took Rob from SCC to come on here to prove that it was more that a simple enigne and more than just a few bufty bits. Its not what you said had been done, its what you let this public forum believe, and i think that is bang out of order.

And as for putting a downer on things for you , i am truly sorry, who do i make my cheque payable to.

[quote]
thankyou guys for sticking up for me! i feel like a fucking charity case now, and it makes me feel shit all beacuse of what this bloke has written![quote]

I would also feel like a charity case if i was getting people donating money and services to me if i had an unfortunate incident with a cossie. How many fcuking people HAVEN'T been in your situation before.

lets all remeber maria never asked for a penny, the community on here got together and decided to help her,
Nah your right, but the tramp i pass every morning to work sitting outside Bond Street station always seems to have money in his little hat on the floor next to him but i never hear him ask for a penny.

[quote]well ive got 78p towards my 'fixing clive the cossie fund' now!

just a tad more to go....................................[quote]

Damn where are the spice girls when you need them, bring back those independent women.

ah your right, but the tramp i pass every morning to work sitting outside Bond Street station always seems to have money in his little hat on the floor next to him but i never hear him ask for a penny.

and i bet u dont give him a penny either, wtf has it to do with u onr anyone else if sum1 inc me decides they wanna offer help,



and rob came on his own accord and justified himself, when no one directly asked him to

geez, if u simply cant accept that other peeps offer there help, then why bother postin half ur shit, as it clearly makes u look silly

Thats exactly my point, no one asked rob to come on here and justify his bill but he had to for his own sake, as someone decided to tell a story missing out the vital information, making Rob and SCC look bad.

Mate - you wont go far in life if you only do what people ask you to do.

Thats another good point, i am one of the few people on here who will say what they think and not worry about looking silly. And the reason i am posting my shit, is becuase i think its fcuking ridiculous.

And as for help, damn i help out a lot of people. I help the old woman at the station yesterday morning carrying her suitcase up the stairs trying to board a trian, or the bloke who broke down outisde my house the other week. I did that beacuse i could see that they were in a situation where i could put myself out a tiny amount to help someone who was in need of help.

In this case and in any other charity case (cause that is what it is) on a public board, you are helping someone out for your own sake. Its a clear selfish act. If you are all so fcuking keen to help someone out financially, try helping the millions of people in this world who need real help. Not someone who has an escort cossie, her partners got an evo who had a little misfortune that most of us on this board have also had.

The only difference being that its a girl this time!!! How pathetic.

sti4scoobylass, is that the Debs I know (The last time we met was at BP Thatcham?) I didn't know you came on here, you still got Dannys' old job at the estate agents? (if it is the debs I'm thinking of????)
Andy
ha......no foolin you is there chook

How are ya Andy?...hows the car?

i came on here just to see how kind some people are after i had Maria in tears on the phone saying she couldnt believe how a bunch of people ( some she has never met) could be so thoughtful and kind.

Unfortunately it does take the odd small minded people who feel that offers of help arent justified...shame really ...life is too short.

What difference does it make how much money Maria spent on her car?
whether it be 12p or 12k???...the offers of help are free, weren't asked for, and absolutely nothing to do with anyone else except the people who have offered...and Maria.

If they choose to post their offers on a public forum...so be it

I've got some fluffy dice you can have Maria?
Well chuffed for you on this thread hun, making my eyes well up. I think it's great that these guys are offering you their services which is probably more useful than the money as a couple of hours labour would cost more than a tenner and they are using their knowledge and talent to help you out rather than just donating a bit of cash.
Debs, i think you've hit the nail on the head there hun.

If you only knew N8TH the hard graft, time, effort, scrimping, saving, helping others etc etc that we have done to fund these two cars, you wouldnt be making it sound like im little miss hard done to!

Just beacuse we have these cars, doesnt mean we dont have the same misfortunes, downers, money troubles as other people, but when I PERSONALLY work my arse off, to try and keep these cars going, i dont appreciate people like you making it sound as tho i dont deserve them!

I thought we had put this behind us now.

There's no need to run your mouth about N8THN either
so did i rich! so did i, but how can you say @theres no need to run your mouth off about N8THN either', when the guy doesnt even know me, yet all he has done is make derogatory remarks about me? But i dont see you telling him to shut up!

At the end of the day, everybondy is entitled to their own opinions, thoughts and views, we will never all necessarily agree, but that is a fact of life!

People here have offered so generously to help, which i personally find amazing, and has lifted my spirits on mankind! BUT if you dont agree, or dont want to help ( not that im asking for help ) then simply dont post your negative remarks or comments on here, just keep them to yourself!

Thanks again you guys! youre super stars!

If i want to help out certain people i will my money/time my choice end of.

calling maria a charity case is a bit low.

maybe one time in ur life youll need help and be grateful when someone helps you

either way has quoted many time and simply hasnt sunk in,

If peeps wanna help provide time/money/parts then simply its not ur business

What the hell is the big deal if some people want to help?

I do know what hard graft is, but i also know the difference between right and wrong. Just because someone offers you dreugs, it doesn't mena you have to take them.
And if you aint a charity case then what the fcuk are you accepting donations for. Help, i can sort of understand but a financial contribution towards your misfortune, and that is not a charity, then what the fcuk is it.

[quote="maria"]Unless you were given the cars as a present then surely your money troubles would be a lot less than someone who couldn't afford to own those cars. Either way, i am not sitting here trying to judge you on your posessions or what you may or may not own, but at the same token why do you think that it is so right for people to give you money becauseyou have had the same bad luck as others. What makes you or your situation so special. Its beacuse you are a girl and that is it.

When it happened to me, i was a student and i bought my cossie on a student loan. I then had to borrow money off of my grandma so i could pay SCS for the rebuild and i am still paying her back now.

Someone is bound to come on here now and say i am jealous bacuase i wasn't given any donation towards my misfortunes. Bo11ox cause i am not, i am simply making the point that i have morals and would not want to accept it.

Probably because i am his brother and it would not be wise of him!!!

So only post if it is to help you. Why, WTF, am i missing something. We can now only post if it is to help Maria.

Starting a fund like this is the most stupid thing i have seen on this board yet. Where do you start and where do you stop. Are we going to assess people's situation indivdually before considering donations or are we going to simply donate to everyone who has a problem. Its rediculous!

Some people on here dont care too much for a kid's life as they do to someones car

https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58861

Which of you that said you would donate to Maria donated to a poor 4 year old kid ????????????


I am sorry i shall not be offering anything to Maria's plight as i see certain things in life are more inportant than a piece of metal.

how the fcuk am i jealous you idiot.

you aint got a clue. its not about jealousy or anything else. its about going out of your way to not say certian things in a story to make yourself sound more hard done by than you actually are.

Why does that make me jealous? What because i cant understand why, on a public forum there is a post for donations towards a cause that i dont agree with. I am not the only one who has been in her situation, i am simply the only person on here who disagress with the idea and has the bo11ox to say so. This is proven by the private messages i have had from various people saying well done for saying what others are thinking.

oh i forgot the thread, please only post here if you are helping Maria.

ranj - you keep on going on about zoo motorsport. what about them. i haven't seen them donate any money yet, have they? I said i can understand work being offered for cheap, or whatever, to help someone out if they feel the need to do so, but on a public forum to start a donation fund for someone who has simply experienced something that all of us cosworth owners have experienced is an absolute fcuking joke.

"ffs just grasp the fact that ur jealous that no one ever helped u,"

and ranj you wouldn't be sitting there quoting bullshit about stuff you dont know again would you? not the first time really is it. I did get help off of people when i had my load of shit but not in the way of a public forum donation plea. I aint no fcuking charity!!!

As it's been up for near 2 months or so with little responce from here i didnt hold much hope of there being many more donation's as i am not part of the site's clique, i am not female so therefore cannot be sleazed on by bloke's and i dont own a Cossie, they are so last decade.

Do as you please Spiky, i just hope non of your family suffer the same plight as Joshua's.

This thread has gone a bit mental. All because a few of the lads decide to help someone out in their hour of need.
I know how it feels to blow a cossie, it seems to be part of the whole cossie ownership thing and I also feel proud to be part of this forum and it's community who are always willing to help in any way they can.
It is a shame that some people cannot see that in certain circumstances their opinions are best kept to themselves.

RANJ - take you head out your arse and look at what i wrote. You obviously have a big fear of zoo motorsport or feel that people should. You are making it sound like it is like the dreaded sin to say a bad word about them, although i haven't. It sounds like you are in the school playground and are daring me to say bad things about the people though most highly of on this forum. You the fcuk is the little boy in need of growing up now. And wtf i haven't said anyone are wankers whatever their desired level of help is I am simply saying; although you clearly still dont understand, that a public forum is not the place to start a donation for a non charitable case.

wtf are you talking about, 'i need the help of a charity'. How exactly could a charity help me, i am slightly confused by your ridiculous mumble you keep on coming up with. In a minute you might just suggest that she should seek legal action against me or something.

A charity is an organisation designed to help people who cant help themselves, and Maria aint in this situation.

Surely i am allowed to voice my opinion on a public board! I forgot with you guys, you are only allowed to have an opinion if it agress with everybody elses.

Ignore them now and look forward to getting the car running again!
i shall do indeed Martyn, thankyou!

bring back those independent women
having lived on my own since the day i turned 15, owning my own house at 17, and initially living out of foster fucking homes, id say im pretty fucking damn independent, so who the hell do you think you are so say otherwise! FUCK YOU!
N*THN please air your views elsewhere cos you are really starting to fuck me off! and i couldnt give a shit if you are pons brother or not!



and i still don't see what the offers of help have got to do with you?...you dont want to help....fine
My sentiments exactly!



calling maria a charity case is a bit low
innit just!


What the hell is the big deal if some people want to help?
N8th, I don't think you understand it?? Ok, you aired your views
now go be miserable somewhere else.



why do you think that it is so right for people to give you money
now just hang on a minute, no one has given me ANY money!!! nothing has been done whatsoever about this whole thing as we are still in the middle of discussing stuff with different people, so when i have actually received money from someone, i will then let you say "why do you think that it is so right for people to give you money"



what the fcuk are you accepting donations for
see above! no donations accepted!

Ranj,

You seem to be missing the point.

We all went through this when Jim Galbally's car expired, and everyone was all "yeah, I'll donate £10 etc etc".

At the time, I was one of the only ones who questioned it, NOT because I was denegrating on people's right to give, but purely because it doesn't qualify as charity by its merits.

At the time, I got slated by a few people who said that it was wrong for me to criticise Jim's car fund that was started on his behalf, yet I recieved that many PMs thanking me for saying it that my PM box filled.

It's the same situation - fair play for anyone donating free time or doing discounted labour rates to help anybody out - the point everyone seems to be missing is that a pure cash donation is charity, plain and simple.

Personally I would not donate any CASH to a cause that has no worth, except make the donater feel that they have done something right, even though it's unjustifiable.

Should the roles be reversed, I would willingly accept an offer to help me out if my engine went bang, by way of discounted goods and services, but I've got pride, and that pride would never allow me to accept a cash fund from a bunch of strangers. No-one should be that pitied.

I don't agree with many people's opinions on here however, it may just be me, but there is a time and place to voice those opinions.
In order to prove your point why do you feel it necessary to belittle someone's character??
I don't know many people on this board but it doesn't give me the right to sit behind a keyboard and slag someone off, directly or indirectly which you appear to be doing.

Do you have an eyesight problem?

This is the third time that I have had to correct you when you have misquoted me..............

If you ACTUALLY read what I wrote, you will see that I was giving an example of someone who might accept charitable cash donations in that situation.

Since you have made it abundantly clear that you have not done so, how can it apply to you?

For fuck's sake, read the posts properly.

just so you know pon, the "jim car fund" never actually existed. nobody gave me any money or parts

b19bal lent me the orion (now in the hands of lennie @ ltp), and a few people (whom are my FRIENDS) helped with getting the car roadworthy by donating time and effort, all of which was massively appreciated, and without it i really would have been well and truly fucked... these people in my eyes were true friends and i was greatful to have them in my time of need.

b19bal deserves a special mention as he is one of the most selfless people i have ever met, and would bend over backwards to help a mate



... he's an ugly mofo tho

SHUT UP, JUST FUCKING SHUT THE FUCK UP THE FUCKING LOT OF YOU

FFS, This is a help maria thread, if you dont wanna help, don't. its that simple. Just dont come on starting arguments and waging war on the poor girl. She has enough on her plate.

Its a shame to see such a nice thought go to shit because some people can't learn to keep stum and leave their childish comments for some post thats funny.


Fucking bores me you know.

Agree with you Jim - I never EVER said that people shouldn't donate time or parts - it's the cash thing that bothers me.

It crosses the line as far as moral principle is concerned.

Only met b19bal once - you're right
