who`s view is the correct one ? you liks SW so you say lock the anti SW thread. what if someone who is anti SW wants it open ?

the idea of coming on here and saying bad things about other posters and airing your view can start it up again.

i can look at threads i do not agree with and leave it at that , this does not make me better than anyone else , nor my view the right one , just my view.

this will not be the last have a go thread will it.

thanks jd

some garages bodge things.... many customers wouldn't know a bodge if it smacked them in the teeth! many bodges go unnoticed! some bodges get noticed.....

the Internet is a very very powerful tool! & people carrying out bodges will start to realise this more & more!

this particular thread started out plain & simple!! it evolved! its what happens! that's the Internet & nobody will stop it now!!

the best way around it is to do things properly

Agreed.

And I suggest we keep the thread going so the truth can be read/told and that other reason, we all still waiting for the answers many have asked bobcat. hahaha... we are still waiting.

Please keep it open, at least for another 4 months. That seems to be the time taken for simple requests to get done these days.

cheers

All in good time pigapumbu.

i have reasons why im being cagey.

However this issue is being dealt with as we speak, and when the the time is right i will answer every question that has been asked up untill now if needed.

However, I think once all the facts are out in the open then I wont need to answer the questions as even the simplest of simpletons should be able to work out what has been going on.

so just hold tight.

P.S - remember, this started on the 18th Oct 2007 (when ashok gave permission to sw's to release engine to timway), or 19th Nov 2007 (when ashok provided serial number of block) depending on how you look at it.

I agree, Most likely when this is resolved there will be a seperate thread with statements.

Im personally not happy with commenting on some of the personal info associated with this issue. If ashok or sw's want to, then thats upto them.

I understand that people want to know whats going on, but im not going to be pressured into revealing all the facts. my main reason for getting involved was to defend sw's and try and shift the balance as this seemed to be a one sided story from the word go. However im stuck in the middle as I know why this issue has happened, but I dont feel its right for me to say why.

I would appreciate it if no more posts are made here for the time being. I have spoken with both Ashok and Stuart.

Right, thats fine by me. I am an outsider who is only going by what I have read in this thread and no knowledge of what pyaap, Tim, Stuart have discussed. My posting here has been mainly at you due to what you have written in the past and your excellent ability to not answer members questions. You like me were NOT privy to what took place between the three people and any posts you made should have reflected this. By not doing so, it has altered the whole essence of this thread.

For your sake, I hope you can and will be straight in your answers because when lots of guests from various forums read this thread, they are going to make their own minds up about Bobcat and SW auto. And right now, what minority support you have will not swing the tide in favour of you or SW auto. Only you can do that or... make it worse.

Thats just friendly advice if you wish to take it or not. As I have asked before, I will wait for your backing up of the most recent "clarification" you made.

cheers
