REMF and The Genuflectee, my oh my, you really do have something in your bonnet when it comes to the Autocar guys, don't you. First you go to great lengths to make a pain in the arse of yourselves (or is it 'yourself') over there and then, within a couple of days of an Autocar thread starting here, up you pop with the tedious double act.
If you fancy hanging about, leave this stuff behind.

Enjoy PH, but don't bring AC problems here, we haven't got time for that.
Wouldn't that comment be better directed at REMF and The Genuflectee, they being the ones who "brought AC problems here"?
Quite frankly it's aimed at all of you! I'm sure you're good guys but start afresh and move on. Life's too short smile

No wonder they shut the forum down if it turned into this cryptic crap.

Sorry to wake an old thread up, but profile surfing brought me here wink

I was on Autocar forum, though it changed at some point a couple of years ago, and I couldn't log in any more, and really wasn't bothered to rectify the situation.

Just like PH it suffered from people who - bizarrely - seemed to hate cars and driving, but because it was so small they seemed to almost represent a majority.

There seemed to be one or two idiots that kept reappearing with a subtly different username after being banned, and carrying on as normal.

And woebetide anyone who said anything negative about the future of MG/Rover. Yet almost any new car release by anyone else was unceremoniously rubbished.

Awful, awful forum.
