Been there and done that with my brother who died of throat cancer.

All I can say is, I hope Mr Bogart will never have to go through what some of us other forum members have, and can remain totally ignorant to the whole thing, you wouldn't wish it on anyone.....
In fact for all you lot and your comments I've been there also!!! So don't start preaching to me about it. It is extremely unfortunate what happened to the guy but from the outset I told him I didn't want, or couldn't afford my time wasted. He accepted this by carrying on with the conversation.

I've seen quite a bit of bad behaviour but frankly Bogart you are right at the top of that tree with your comments here.

It's not suprising so many people are commenting on this post as on the whole people on here are friendly understanding and generally nice people.
You Mr Bogart seem to think that the tone of your responce is ok due to the fact you say"I don't want to be messed about"This dose not give you the right to be rude and offensive be it aimed at one member or the majority.

OK your not happy but a little understanding wouldn't have been to much to ask.
As long as your attitude is.Get lost your all morons etc then it will only continue to alienate you against people.


And as for being a mechanic?No I'm not but I have been mending cars for an awful long time.I have a very good understanding of internal combustion engines and anyone with any idea of how the lubricating system works and how the cooling system works will know that"Turning the heater on will and cannot make the rear crankseal leak,Or any other part of the system leak oil.

I happen to think I help an awful lot of people mend there vehicles.
I do this as I like to help people out.

I would suggest you read the rules of this forum again before responding as with the weather being warmer just lately the "ice" is getting thinner by the minute.

I look forward to your responce.

There has been 1330 vues of this post and you still haven't managed to sell your car???
And not one person has come on here to congratulate you on the way you have responded thus far.

Brian.

i love these sellers that state no TIMEWASTERS erm there has to be some sort of timewasting to make a sale, it's almost like you don't want to sell a car

and yes i'm having my two pennyworth's because i think your disgusting, if you've been through something like this you would of been more sympathetic but instead you became pathetic! and you still keep coming back like your in the right!

the guy was clearly going to buy your piece of sht but his circumstances changed which can happen to the best of us..............lucky escape for him!

i too watched my auntie and my wife's granddad die a slow death of this horrific disease

so grow up and apologize to captain pugwash for being rude and arrogant

Predictable responce.
Why read them in the first place?Surely you weren't expecting to get any praise for the way you have responded thus far?

Your obviously used to such comments as you are clearly bored by it.
How you have remained a member of this forum for so long I cannot imagine.

No regards Brian.
