WHAT THE FAWK IS WRONG WITH THAT? Noob-with-a-big-chip-on-your-shoulder?

Why you mad Noob-with-a-big-chip-on-your-shoulder?

Try being honest.

Let's be clear. I'm not even a noob. I'm a sub-noob. Most of the people on this forum have more real world or even theoretical rally knowledge in their pinky than I do in my entire body...including you. Seriously not joking.

I don't really like VW's for reasons you state all the time even though they can be fast. Trucks are stupid if you want have the bestest fastest vehicle but it's also stupid to think you'll be the bestest fastest driver automatically by building something else. If you are only going to hit 1 rally a year doesn't really matter if you build the North American F cup analog or not. Volvos make great cars totally true etc.

None of these things are the issue. Being a rally expert is not required to read the way you post all the time and become sick of it.

You post big diatribes about stuff all the time then when anyone critiques anything you say you come back with this "What's the big deal man it's just like we are all hanging out in the driveway talking" yet it's so painfully obvious that's not the actual case by the way you flip out in your replies but then try to pretend like your just being low key.

Most of your stump speeches are filled with things that make excellent sense but get completely mitigated by the amount of abrasive forced slang dickery they contain.

My chip on my shoulder is more for your forum BS then any of your principles.

RE: this thread all you had to say was something like "Yeah maybe the car was a little off pace but it's sure cool to see my stuff out there." Instead you went off on a rampage for something you yourself would have ridiculed in spades if you were not being so defensive because you thought it involved your wares. Then your previous zillion stump speeches about things wouldn't seem that much more ridiculous and I wouldn't have bothered to comment.

I don't have anything to prove I just don't have anything to lose by not being a lockstep JVL sycophant in thinking the way you act online is 100% right just because your basic ideas are solid.

For all you do trying to help rally guys out think how many more you might help, and maybe how much more stuff you might sell if you were not such a curmudgeon all the time.

423 words, nearly all complaining...and insulting in the mid-west way you guys do.....and full of words like "diatribes" and "stump speeches" (what the fuck is that?) and "previous zillion stump speeches".

And the ever popular, consistent from guys walking in lock step to simple commercial and consumer capitalist materialist values the accusation of "lockstep JVL sycophant"...


(hey! Einstein's lost cousin, ever notice that when a total fawking noob come along they nearly invariably--depending on just a very few factors---ask the same questions AND RARELY SEARCH?
Well that means either everybody ignores them or somebody--maybe somebody who wants to one day see 150 car fields---has to try and wade thru their confused and often flat ignorant preconceptions, and maybe they have to do it again and again...)

So basically I give good advice, ......(and have worked on dozens of cars from rank beginners all the way to guys winning National Championship for 25 years),

but you sit up there and complain at length---repeatedly it might be pointed out---that essentially you are pissed about what you perceive to be:

"my way of writing".

Or what you imagine to be "my tone"?

So once again we have somebody from the Mid-west (dood, it IS a regional thing, we've seen it again and again and again and again ) complaining about GOOD advice,

and DEMANDING the good advice be delivered in exactly the manner--tone, attitude--or whatever---that YOU want----and complain in long pitiful essays full of loaded words when you don't get the information in the exactly way you want it.

You have a real case of "do as i say, not as i do" going on there son.

I work with the credo "As you would have others do unto you, so shall ye do unto them"


Don't be surprised you see me answer blind anger with exactly what is given out---do you see?
ie: If somebody comes and whines and bitches I assume that is their manner, their way of being and that THAT is how they want the world to meet and interact with them...


Or if they come with some absurd idea and after it's gently pointed out that the idea is absurd, and they persist, I assume absurdity is how they want to be addressed.

Why would I presume otherwise?

"What would happen if everybody thought like that....?"
"Then I'd be crazy to think otherwise!"

Isn't there a Mid-west centered rally forum where you can get the emotional support you crave and where yopu can complain about people behind their backs, so you can maintain your vital Mr. Nice Guy facade?

You seem sad here.

We're not at all confident on the Moccasin Lake stage A1 & A2. The notes don't flow well for us, the road is really tricky and inconsistent, and we've never felt comfortable on that stage.

We had a flat tire on the Peanut A4. That sucked. We cut the sidewall open on the left rear tire at only about the halfway point through the rough portion of the Peanut with something like another 8km yet to go to the finish. We knew we'd lose a ton of time if we stopped to change it in the stage, so screw that let's keep going. The bugger is that, after we come out of the really rough stuff, the last 5+km is all REALLY fast wide open stuff, and we were worried the flat tire might come apart and the flailing tread might then tear off the suspension.

Martin pushed as hard as he dared and we made it to the finish of A4 choking on the tire smoke which filled the car with a time of 9:40.3, losing only 28.2 seconds compared to our second pass on the Peanut A7 of 9:12.1.

The whole last loop of A6, A7, A8 was awesome with Martin shovelling all the coal into the boilers. A8 was especially satisfying. I'll post up some video when I get it processed and uploaded.

And as far as Ian winning G2 by default; he did come in ahead of an open class subie...

FYI, the Subie developed a cracked exhaust manifold, and no power/boost by the end of the event.


This just demonstrates the superiority of the Volvo's Swedish iron!




The Volvo was awesome to watch, driving a big car like that on the Peanut is no small feat.

Ian is a good boy. Once he get his wings and his turbo, he will be leaving a wake of wimpering subies.
