not forgetting if your a trader you can steal someone elses idea because theyre not a trader and make and sell copies of their work whilst still using the original piece in your for sale add with not only the blessing of the mods but the threat of being banned for having the cheek to complain. try doing that if your not part of the in crowd.

His Sig is still there, the one about VW trying to do a replica of my car after mine had been around for quite a few years, I suspect it wasnt really their inspiration though, although from what clarkson said based on driving it, they did indeed do a good job of replicating how my car handled at time, so sounds like they knew what they were doing so not sure what his point is meant to be TBH.

Benni.
No the headlight design is different to that, as its from an earlier golf, so im not sure why you would get confused as they look quite different IMHO.

Not my design anyway though, no need to re-invent the wheel, so where parts already work very well on other cars, I have used them rather than make them from scratch, for example the gear linkage is from a VX220 roadster, and the inlet plenum is from a RS200 group B rally car, I see no point in re-inventing the wheel when something is available that works well, also as I dont have a budget of millions of pounds, that sort of development isnt available to me anyway even if I did want to do so, I simply dont have the resources.
Just like every single other project car on this forum, but for some reason it seems to be only mine you are obsessed with

My obsession is so bad I have posters of it on my bedroom wall. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night sweating with palpitations and chest pains, all because I dreamt about it and it all became too much.

I dont think there is an in crowd on here anyway TBH, I just think there are various cliques, just like in any large gathering of people, people tend to talk more to people they feel they know or have more in common with generally IMHO
Cliques are most obvious to those on the outside sometimes, so I suspect that you wont find many people on here who actually feel they are part of the "in" crowd that others imagine exists but in reality doesnt particuarly IME.

Benni.

Crikey, thats actually very slightly more obsessed even than most people thought I suspect.

On a side note though, I do find the headlights an interesting barometer of how much people know about cars, there seems to be an inverse relationship between how much notice people take of the lights compared to say the engine, or the work ive done on the suspension, as there is to how much they know about engines and cars etc in the first place.

The main thing going on is the following as per usual with this sort of thread:


1) Lots of people saying NAME AND SHAME THE PERSON

2) Lots of people (often the same ones) saying I HATE GRASSES


I think they tend to miss the irony in that one

I've barely scratched the surface too. So can someone tell us who the grass is then? We all wanna' know, and he doesn't deserve for this thread to go off topic and forget about what he did.

I do not know what your particular post is referirng to but I agree, it is business.

You're very naive if you think that sort of thing doesn't go on every single day in all areas of business. There aren't many morals when it comes to making money.

If you want exclusive rights to a product then you need to take the appropriate measures to protect that interest, if you don't then you really can't expect much else?
