chip chop, you know who you are. Lots of one liners and then a car for sale is a big no no.

now i've got 56 or 57 messages can i post lots of stuff for sale then?


just joking! but i did have parts for sale but they are on another forum

and the most important thing is not about how much post people have because i'm pretty sure that people with over 5000 posts can also scam people

but also if you are new to a forum and became a regular that is often on here to help people, to give advises and give opinions then you are a good member!

people who get 3000 posts of nothing but shit worth less than someone with 200 useful posts

edit : wow 60 posts lol

If you put up stuff for sale here yes I would chop it and your post count most likely, so please don't...yet.

as people say on here! put some stuff for sale with the name next to the part is a good way!

the rule is 50 posts so rule is rule
i mean if the 50 posts are something like :

-wow great car
-cool project
-amazing mate

then ok! but you should see if people are worth to be members on here or not then if they put some advertises!

Doesn't count how long you have been a member...

Yeah your right - I took it to mean the ones that were out to fleece you of your money and Con you posting rubbish that no one wanted to read to get to 50 in a day.

I was not doing either or at least didn't think I was!!!

I am all for making the forums a safer please it’s just a very difficult line to tread. Buying and selling on a forum can bring lots of new peeps into the fold - not all will be genuine but I would have though more so than not. It helps to promote a busy forum and input and help is given to & from the users to help one another.

We all come from performance cars and have a passion for them. I love liners but the rear seats and 2 doors are a problem for me with 2 young children hence the Evo's & MLR and not owning a 34.

We all deal with companies like Opie/Sumo/RSE/Indigo GT/ etc and know all the other like the old RC Dev that even trade on here! Old tricks etc...

How many of you have listed your cars on the MLR?? Quite a few...

Why? Because you know we all love performance cars and like outsider’s views on what you have done with your car and think this is the typical audience to appeal to.



Rant over

I wasn't aware that Darin lets Skyline owners sell their cars on the MLR?

I'll have to have a look later to see who's on there

So Skyline owners join the MLR, contribute nothing to it, then sell their car there?

In that case, why do people bother paying to advertise on Auto Trader or Ebay?

I didn't come here to contrubite NOTHING - would you go to another car forum and try to contribute nothing???

I love cars and have a passion for them. I also happen to love the R34 & 35. I will own one of these too some day.

So are you saying because I have an evo I contribute nothing to your forum??

No. I'm saying you were a member here for a while, had a very low post count, therefore contributed nothing, and then expected to sell your car here.

I think that's the strength of it
