Frank, do you understand that nearly everyone here thinks the cars you've owned are pretty amazing but that you do yourself no favours with all the bluster and bravado? I'd be interested to read a rebuild thread about the Lotus but not if you're going to label anyone other than the most craven sycophant a "hater".

Good luck with the rebuild or choice of new car, whichever happens. For clarification and the avoidance of doubt I don't want to touch your ballbag.

A heavy handed defence is not bravado..

See there ya go something is always lost in translation... I know ya wanna..

I guess that's a 'no' then.

I'm sorry I don't understand. I was trying to be friendly but I suppose I shouldn't have bothered.

So for the haters the car is no more ya got your wish.... But there may be another Lotus canyon toy in the wings and it won't be afraid of the light..

I like the car, Seems a bit over the top to say it is no more. Surely it has a bucket load of time and money spent on it, It looks to me like the damage sustained is fairly minor, certainly repairable and that considering the development that went in to the car you would repair it? Am I missing something?

How many times has that happened on this thread now??.... a remarkable lack of social awareness if ever there was one. Explains a lot.

Frank,
You have a fantastic car. Or at least you did have. Which is hard luck.

But you clearly are not interested in having any debate or conversation with anyone about anything regarding your car.

May I humbly suggest that you cease using sites such as these and just set up a fan club website where you can indulge your narcissism and where everyone will just agree with, and praise you.

I think you would be a lot happier with something like that - seriously, think about it.

That was ment as a joke, as I said lost in translation...

Seriously, can the mods just lock this st down.

This thread has turned into some strange, Kafkaesque nightmare of confusion, insult and bile. I can't seem to stop reading it but every time I do, I feel like a little part of me has died.

He already has.

Unfortunately it hasn't stopped him touring other sites being deliberately abusive until banned.

Ah-ha, sorry. What was that quote about being separated by a common language?

A conversation about my car ? Hell dude I'm waiting for it to begin. Since when is having a car totaled a topic open for debate it happened period and only i and the guy that hit me know the facts and he's not talkin.

As I said PH shut this thread down..

Such arrogance is astounding.

Nobody, but garlic said: "we expect good manners from both sides" , so if he loses his manners, pistonheads may close this thread.
but that would be a shame because it's highly entertaining for me reading threads like this!

I've only seen the two highlighted threads on here that involve you and in neither of them do you appear to want to have a conversation about your car.

It's either your way or the highway. Not really a discussion.

Which is a shame as all events are always skewed when only one side of the story is told.

This item might be of use considering some of the requests in this thread.

I advise reading the reviews though as there appear to be some unsavoury side effects.

Indeed - especially as it was a news item and not just some thread.
Presumably when Frank needs to change a lightbulb he just puts it into the socket and waits for the world to revolve around him.

No, he pays someone to stand there and do it for him.
