I took mine down there and it was like arriving late at a meet, I recognised the cars but their keepers were not to be seen.

Thankfully the PH thread is only 2-pages thus far. Spoons managed to upset several on there with less than half a dozen posts; this forum hasn't had many 'bell ends' since it started but when it has they have been short lived before exposing their true colours. I'm usually the very worst at reading social clues and personalities but I avoided interacting with him throughout as he just came across as wanting to calmly pat you on the back whilst holding 40 grit paper in his hand!

And I don't think he is getting much of a hug from them also!.........

I think the reason you flounced off the Maserati forum is that you poo pooed the well meant good advice you were given at the time and came across as rude and obnoxious yourself. No doubt you probably won’t agree, but that’s certainly how it looked.

The depth of knowledge on there is incredible and well worth taking advantage of

quote=Mr Spoon]I knew you would pipe up with your rubbish.
What's the saying? If you keep meeting people who are a pain in the **** maybe they're not the problem?

The way I've read posts by the OP on both this and the Maserati forum has certainly shown up what looks to me like inconsistencies.

I believe that the crux of the argument is about subframes. The OP thinks it's a non-issue and massively overblown. The consensus on the Maserati forum is that it could be a massive PITA.

Then, on Pistonheads, the OP posts about his Maserati having the subframe treated for rust, and gearing up to get his car back in 2024.
This also is rubbish, is misleading and away from the theme of this topic. This topic has nothing to do with a subframe, rust or anything like that. Please read the first post and if you would like to contribute your experiences please do so.

He's going to be running out of forums soon!

Perhaps a mod should change the title of the thread either back to the original title or Mr Spoons point of view.

Either way the thread should be closed as it serves no purpose.

Anyone reading it can see the number of edits to try and skew what actually happened. Yet still the evidence is there to see on here and now piston heads that if you dont agree with Mr Spoons point of view then his reply is quite often vitriolic and as a result poisonous to the well being of the forum.

The warning signs were here quite early that Mr Spoon was either a prankster , keyboard warrior or simply an angry individual trying to provoke a reaction with his style of posting. Even the user name should have given that away.

The vast majority of new members on the forum that join are welcomed with open arms and helped with any questions they have and helped if needed.

The newbie threads are all there so that lurkers and newbies can make their own judgement if the forum is a welcoming place or not.

I was a newbie and have been here for 5/6 years now and it still amazes me the speed of the help and support available on here and in some cases hands on help that is generously given by fellow members.

Time to close the thread so that the thread title amended by Mr Spoons doesnt remain on page 1 and continues to feed the troll.

No doubt he will start another one but that would just be petty.

Sold his Megane and bought an Infiniti apparently, no mention of the GranTurismo though, which is a shame as I was genuinely interested if the gamble paid off.

This is one of the friendliest, balanced and informative forums I’ve ever been on, so that’s why I’m still here a year after I sold my GC

Apart from the great Maser advice I’ve met fellow cigar fans and had an invite to Bebs incredible humidor room, I’ve had forum members book my holiday accommodation in Le Mans and had a great turnout to a meet I arranged on the North Norfolk coast.

Take a bow; you are a bunch of top guys and girls!
