I have a genuine concern about the state of this hobby in 2014, I see that some of you are sensible and rational though others are making me listen to Matthew 7:6. What is the point of telling you facts if all you come back with is sarcasm and pseudo wit? The first point brought to the fore that I f...

I am talking about things that have passed, so calling me a soothsayer? Then breaking out with an ad hominum, well that is funny because you started out with a condescending comment.

On the Porsche, its hard to check from an internet pho...

Hello Martin, all understood. To be crystal clear, I am not saying all members here are complicit in deception, I promise you something interesting will be brought to the fore but only at the right time. For now please let’s talk about Scorpions in the SF forum & Pickfords vans (blue or green) i...

Thanks Mathias, who else can add to this?
