I expect this will bring Mr Pink out of the woodwork again.



I don't think being sued in the States is that big a deal, people do it all the time over there.

that's me £50 better off - cheers SC

be a big deal if they ripped you off would it not?

21.44 (Mr P)- 19.06 (OP) = 2hours and 38 minutes. Good deal slower than I expected, but too quick to be pure coincidence.

you seem have a bee in your bonnet

didn't invest in their latest ponzi did you?

Not at all, I am curious about this, though. 30 days with no activity AT ALL, except for this one thread, and less than 3 hours after it was started by another irregular poster. Makes one wonder.

my - you do seem bothered

FYI I look on the forum every day but only log in when I make a reply post to someone who mentions me - be rude not to :-)

(ps I see every post you make and must thank you for making me smile)

Some how I don't think this will come to anything, seems there is always things 2 people will disagree on. I still trust Fran with my money and will be ordering some parts later this month, this wont put me off...

Why people have to use layers all the time I have no idea, just reminds me of bully boy tactics...

This thread has backfired badly on the Norwitch/Mr Pink single interest pressure group. Your opinion carries a great deal more weight than a couple of anonymous posters whose only reason for being on Piston Heads at all is to slag off RCR. It's fascinating to look back over both their posting histories, at least 90% of their total posts are to that effect. I'm surprised that they haven't been banned bearing in mind the PH policies.

The weakness of your reply is matched only by the sloppiness of your formatting, and the idea you are now putting forward, that the only reason you are replying at all is because I mentioned your pseudonym, is risible, especially when your posting history on this forum is considered.

You've been found out, time to pack it in.

I trust that's your last word on the RCR subject, for the time being at least.

[mrpink]

I reserve the right to give my honest opinion about RCR, based on 1st hand knowledge and experience, whenever I see fit but more especially when invited by yourself to do so.

in the meantime good luck in your search for a rare Harrison marine watch ;-)

I just hate to see people treated unfairly. You are attacking somebody who isn't here to defend themselves, and would probably choose not to do so anyway. I have no position on RCR myself, they do seem to have a great many happy customers and, I daresay, some not so happy ones. I also am in business, and I am in the same position. I have some happy customers, some neutral, and one that would happily see me flogged naked through the streets. Just because a customer is unhappy doesn't automatically mean that the business is at fault (and in the case I referred to last, I was able to prove that he had indeed received all that he had paid for and more (although he doesn't see it that way).

There's also the sheer boring repetiveness of the way you and Norwitch keep hammering on about RCR, and the fact that you are only here to do just that, but they still seem to be doing ok despite your best efforts.


I realise you are trying to imply that I have some kind of connection with, or interest in, RCR but I do not. I just hate to see unfairness and when I see it I will, if I can, raise objections, just as I am doing here. I've done the same for others in the past. I don't go looking for this kind of thing, but when it crops up in an area in which I am particularly interested (kit cars especially) then I will speak up. If the person or people carrying out the attack are not full time forum participants then it just makes it easier to point that out to readers who might not know your history on this subject.

Here's an extract from the rule-

I'm often asked why the 'no naming and shaming' rule exists on PistonHeads.com.

Why can't 'bad dealers' be outed etc?

Well, there are a number of reasons. Firstly it's simply a matter of fairness. All too often I've heard a 'horror' story about a dealer only to later talk to the dealer involved and find that there are considerably different views on what actually took place.

There are bad customers out there as well as bad dealers. Some people expect too much, distort the facts in their favour, etc. etc.

Who are we to act as judge and jury when someone posts something bad about a business? We can't verify the 'facts' as presented. If the dealer doesn't even know that the message has been posted then it's very unfair on their business to be slated in public with no opportunity to respond.

I just hate to see people treated unfairly - how very noble of you perhaps Robin Hood is an ancestor of yours?

You are attacking somebody who isn't here to defend themselves, and would probably choose not to do so anyway - that is his choice.

I have no position on RCR myself - not sure that is true but will take your word for it.

they do seem to have a great many happy customers and, I daresay, some not so happy ones - and to form a balanced view ALL should be taken into account.

I also am in business, and I am in the same position. I have some happy customers, some neutral, and one that would happily see me flogged naked through the streets - I prefer stocks and rotting vegetables myself

Just because a customer is unhappy doesn't automatically mean that the business is at fault (and in the case I referred to last, I was able to prove that he had indeed received all that he had paid for and more (although he doesn't see it that way) - just because you proved this doesn't mean all unhappy customers are in the wrong either but good for you anyway.

There's also the sheer boring repetiveness of the way you and Norwitch keep hammering on about RCR, and the fact that you are only here to do just that, but they still seem to be doing ok despite your best efforts - I only replied to your post, had you not mentioned me then I would have not felt the need to post (you only have my word for that though).

I realise you are trying to imply that I have some kind of connection with, or interest in, RCR but I do not - I think you protest too much.

I just hate to see unfairness and when I see it I will, if I can, raise objections, just as I am doing here. I've done the same for others in the past. I don't go looking for this kind of thing, but when it crops up in an area in which I am particularly interested (kit cars especially) then I will speak up - there is a whole world of injustice out there, perhaps UNICEF or Greenpeace might be more deserving of your admirable assets

If the person or people carrying out the attack are not full time forum participants then it just makes it easier to point that out to readers who might not know your history on this subject - I look at many areas of this forum but limit my postings to things I have personal 1st hand knowledge and experience of, sorry if that makes me a part-time particpant.

believe it or not I agree with most of the above but like yourself I also have a social conscience and feel the need to make people aware of an injustice in order that they go into a situation with some awareness of what 'may' happen "forewarned is forearmed" in my book. Even to the extent that, despite your obvious dislike of me, should I see you getting yourself into a potentially hazardous situation I would feel compelled to at least give you the benefit of my experience and some form of warning.

At the end of the day I have my opinions based on 1st hand experience (and am not alone believe me) and you have yours - I am quite happy to now keep mine to myself as long as you, or others, don't bring me up in their postings - deal???

BTW - watch = OF&H
