Top bloke, helped out with a few problems with my old sapphire.

He was getting some shit off some people on another Ford forum a few months back but it'd be a shame if he didn't come back here again.

Never quite worked him out, one minute he was seemingly limitless in his knowledge, then the next he was talking nonsense arguing with Jaycos about ported heads and sounded like he didnt have a clue on something so basic, really weird.

Either way, seemed like a true petrolhead so I hope he comes back, could definately do with more people like that on the forum rather than all the bollocks threads about peoples love life etc

i read in one of his posts he got badly run over once and it affected
him with mood swings, i also have been run over and it was hit and run
and i can understand what he was saying.
he knows some of the uk's best ford engine geezers, he helped me out
and was spot on

I agree with Chip, sometimes you read what he puts and think, yep, this bloke REALLY knows his stuff and then other times, he posts strange stuff (like being able to get 550bhp out of four yellows by switching to a batch fire ECU ), and you think WTF?

Anyway, despite this, he is always very helpful to everyone he meets, but just like Chip (and me ), I have been told he can rub people up the wrong way .

Its normally the same bunch that always seem to be offended and upset by all the different people Mike!
I think some of the little darlings are probably just a bit to insecure/fragile to really be communicating with people out in the outside world and Tabatha should feel quite safe to totally ignore their "issues" so I hope that isnt his reason for not being on here lately as that would be a victory for the whinging tossers over the genuinely helpful!

Sorry... may have been helpful to some but wound me the fuck up!!!

KEPT GOING ON REPEATEDLY THAT THE BUGATTI VEYRON WAS A REBADGED SKODA

and kept slagging it off like he had owned one for 6 months and it kept breaking down on him and was unrewarding to drive on his local lanes!

when in reality I bet the twat hasn't even SEEN one let alone driven one

I knew his Veyron comments would be in your post Lee

To be fair though, it does share its parts with 99% of the Octavia vRS though (especially the yellow ones)

i had a bit of a run in with him

said a few things
he said a few things

we sort of decided that it was not a good thing to keep bringing it up and have been polite to each other ever since

judging by some of the posts he put up, he knows stuff, but he also doesn't know other stuff

he also seems to know dave walker, but i don't know how

other than some of his views being slightly more than a bit wrong, in my oniopn at least, people have either liked him or loathed him

if he's fine all well and good, if he's not, hope he gets better

Yep, even the gearbox for the Veyron is just the same item from the Skoda 1.9 V-RS diesel engine (but beefed up slightly so that it can take the torque) .
