Is it all still up and running?
I only ask as it popped up on my feed the other day, so I joined.
I made one post with a pic of my Caterham and my Ferrari as I'd been taking some garage pics and thought it looked a nice contrast pic.
I then found it got removed and I can't post or see the group so I think maybe I've been blocked or removed from the group.
I guess that's the admins prerogative, but I am a genuine owner and Seven enthusiast, I've had a Westfield then 2 Caterhams. Currently my R400 I built in 2003 new.
Yes I enjoy other cars, but they come and go, I've not been without a Seven in my garage for over 25 years.
I'm not sure quite what if anything I did wrong, and I don't like the thought of folks thinking bad of me, so any light you can shed from within group would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Bertie was your Ferrari a white 458 Spyder? If it was then it has gone. Seems a bit harsh not to get a warning first of all. There are other posts on there that are non 7 related. A 21 (although that does use a 7 chassis so I guess that would pass muster),an article on the Zenos and worst of all the ghastly F1 car that definitely has nothing to do with a 7.
Yes, that was me.Edited by Smollet on Saturday 25th October 10:19
If the pic was a problem, tell me and I'll delete it, or even just take the pic down, but I'm not sure what I did that got be chucked out.
Don't know who the admin was, heard nothing, just got blocked.

Hey, I don't want to start a war!
If I'd have known pics were to be exclusively Sevens I'd not have posted, similarly after posting if I'd been asked to remove and keep it to just Sevens, that's fine and I understand.
I thought it was an interesting contrast of old & simple vs modern and technical, I love them both.
It was just I heard nothing at all and just found myself blocked, so that leaves one wondering why and what's gone on.
Shame as it strikes me a huge misunderstanding but I can only guess.

Yes it has been - the whole issue was starting to dominate the page.
Christian,As I've said throughout this thread, I don't want to cause any trouble, and if you'd wanted to keep your group exclusively Sevens I perfectly understand and would have happily complied.
As a long term Seven owner I also love lots of other cars, and I think it's a shame we seemed to get off on the wrong foot for some reason.
Chris,
I can't quite believe how badly wrong this has gone.
To see you close a group you've invested so much time in is certainly not what I or I am sure anyone else would have wanted.
As you quite rightly say, it's your group, you make it what you want, but for the sake of the other 260 odd folks I do hope you'll reconsider.
If you truly don't feel able or want to, and bearing in mind it's really supposed to be all about fellow car enthusiasts, and you've got 260 of them there, perhaps you could consider handing it over to someone else to admin?
I'm not sure if that's even technically possible, but it seems such a shame the many have to suffer for whatever may have gone on between a few.
Just my thoughts, I'm genuinely sorry this has ended up like this.
