i must say that having viewed some other forums (fora?) and seen such exchanges as in the example above, I was hesitant about using this one when Jim recommended it. But I can say from my short experience that it is friendly and extremely helpful place which never resorts to personal abuse, ridicule or spitefulness - and I have read most of the threads on here. You are in the right place Chan110 - welcome.

Maybe that was a little harsh on the newbie.. but turning up like that and claiming to have everything on a car on a specialist forum, always likely to get a couple of snippy responses

Can't be bad on the newbie - if :
(a) s/he achieve his/her aim (car sold)
(b) Must be as closely as described if Jim bought (I Dont know Jim, but assume he knows his stuff and saw a bargain)

Indeed - banter for those 'in the know' but as an intro to a site, it doesn't really set an appropriate tone for a newbie. Bit too playground for me....
