How can you tell for sure? I dont want to brag or anything, but I doubt it

It would be kind of difficult to bring the ICE race car up, but I could possibly bring a GrN Evo. However, be warned, it's pretty slow (engine wise) The good thing is you dont have to slow down much in corners. It's so stable and well suspended it's really unbelievable!

Wait a minute. Arent you a woman? LOL

No. Where?

Oh, show me the URL then. Erm, BTW, didnt you say its a Jag?

No, didnt see that. I only post in NSR and OC these days, given that my accurate technical infomation regarding modifications gets flamed by some ignorant members and moderators who have no clue.

Diablo

Perhaps, Claude, if you stuck to accurate technical information as opposed to argumentative, confrontational and generally useless drivel you may not get flamed so often.

I think if you have a close look, you will find that the aforementioned technical information does not get flamed - certainly not by others.

Your homophobia, use of terminoligy which, in the UK at least, has reference to describing a particular ethnic or racial group in a derogatory manner which may be offensive to those in question, criticism of the choices of others, protracted ill informed "debate" and general narrow minded attitude to the position of others however is another matter.

I was actually asking Diablo if he'd seen the piccies of my car....

but if you want to see true class then under Member's Gallery, posted 16th December by Scooby Snacks - entitled 'Black Cat has evolved' ... my current baby and my ex- baby (now owned by Scooby Snacks)....

D... don't enter into confrontation with him that's what he wants...

.... and Claudius... I maintain my position..... you ain't man enough...

Hello Devil

I suppose you are talking about our recent discussions in NSR and OC? I am talking about several months ago, when, out of good heart and compassion as well as my natural willingness to help others, I posted solutions and advice to technical problems regarding ECUs, brakes, suspension etc.

I may well be homophobic; I dont see how that would allow you to criticise this position of mine? I have the right not to like homosexuals, just like you have the right to like them or be indifferent to them or whatever. And we may both say that in NSR, may be not?

As far as you calling me racist, I find that very offensive. I am not racist and I will not tolerate you calling me racist. Being racist is one of the most unintelligent positions any human may have. Please withdraw that, ok?!

And criticising other people's choices... isnt that what this board is for?

Black Cat

Claudius

whatever... you make me laugh..... hey you ain't 'The Dark Horse' in disguise are you by any chance....???? awww.... takes me back... those good old days..... but shhhhh....... now just one favour..... don't argue so much... deep down I'm sure there's a nice person just desperate to get out...

Black Cat

PS Ralf you have mail.... misread the reply... sorry....

Claudius

You missing your horse? LOL

No, I'm not another user, I am me

I dont argue, the moderators argue because they disagree with me! I am very nice! And very everything good, in fact: very nice, very smart, very cool, very patient, very everything.

Black Cat

... and if no one believes you... they can just ask you and you'll tell 'em ...right?.... wow .... never thought I'd be in the presence of greatness in my lifetime.....

Claudius

No, it isnt. Go back to school, bros. I'm not here to educate you about English vocabulary which is a shame, since you have a lot to learn and also because I suspect English to be your mother tongue.

In that case, I will publish extracts of your stupidity with URLs linked to here for everybody to see on other web sites and turn you and the other ignorants into WWFs (world wide fools)

Black Cat

... oh gawd.... he's awake..... just when you thought it was safe ....

Diablo

Ok, then educate me into the use of the word "Kraut".

I'm all eyes and prepared to be corrected

(In which case i will retract the comment)

D

Claudius

I cant be arsed to give definitions of such basic words as "racist". Why dont you look it up?

Diablo

Part X1 of the Race Relations Act 1976 as ammended in 2000 concerns "INCITEMENT TO RACIAL HATRED"

In that section, The Public Order Act 1936 was amended to incorporate the following section:-

"Incitement to racial hatred.

5A.-(1) A person commits an offence if-

(a) he publishes or distributes written matter which is threatening, abusive or insulting;
or
(b) he uses in any public place or at any public
meeting words which are threatening, abusive or insulting,

in a case where, having regard to all the circumstances, hatred is likely to be stirred up against any racial group in Great Britain by the matter or words in question.


(2) Subsection (1) above does not apply to the publication or distribution of written matter consisting of or contained in-

(a) a fair and accurate report of proceedings publicly heard before any court or tribunal exercising judicial authority, being a report which is published contemporaneously with those proceedings or, if it is not reasonably practicable or would be unlawful to publish a report of them contemporaneously, is published as soon as publication is reasonably practicable and (if previously unlawful) lawful; or
(b) a fair and accurate report of proceedings in Parliament.

(3) In any proceedings for an offence under this section alleged to have been committed by the publication or distribution of any written matter, it shall be a defence for the accused to prove that he was not aware of the content of the written matter in question and neither suspected nor had reason to suspect it of being threatening, abusive or insulting.

(4) Subsection (3) above shall not prejudice any defence which it is open to a person charged with an offence under this section to raise apart from that subsection.

(5) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable-

(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding £400, or both;
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine, or both;

but no prosecution for such an offence shall be instituted in England and Wales except by or with the consent of the Attorney General.

(6) In this section-

'publish' and 'distribute' mean publish or distribute to the public at large or to any section of the public not consisting exclusively of members of an association of which the person publishing or distributing is a member;

'racial group' means a group of persons defined by reference to colour, race, nationality or ethnic or national origins, and in this definition 'nationality' includes citizenship;

'written matter' includes any writing, sign or visible representation."


Now, whilst I would concede that your chosen word is unlikely to cause hatred to be stirred up against people of Germanic origin, there neverless exists the possibility, however small, that this may occur. Certainly the use of the word "Kraut" in the UK is derogatory slang and likely to cause offence, in the same way as many other descriptors are offensive to the racial groups concerned.

I will concede that to consider these terms "racist" does not exactly fit the dictionary defenition of the word "racist", they are largely considered by people in the United Kindom, and may well be in breach of race relations rules.

Under the circumstances, I have edited my post accordingly, as we are being pedantic here.

D

Claudius

Thank you for editing your previous message and for looking up what "racist" means.

Please let me add that I do not hate or consider inferiour or would like other people to hate or consider inferiour in any way any other nationality or ethnic group than their own.

Please excuse the above, lengthy sentence; I hope you can understand it

I dont know if you are being pedantic or not; I am generally not, but you left me no choice other than to behave that way because you didnt know the definition of several basic words of the English language.

I'll see you at the RMC

Diablo

RMC

rsquire

I assume he means Rallye Monte Carlo

Could be wrong though may mean Rugby Match Cardiff

Claudius

LOL @ rsquire

You got that right (the first part )

Claudius

Just re-read the thread, doesnt look like you're going. I am getting a little confused with all these troll mod-*****-ators, you never remember which one you were talking to, they're so alike...

Let me know if you're going so I can explain a few things like vocabulary, driving, how a car works, etc. IRL instead of getting my fingers bloody here

Black Cat

Cladius & Ralf...
is there any reason to be to soooooo mean....???? this is not - other margues after all... and having had an Impreza for probably longer than you.and having been a member of this website (with WRX and UK Impreza for over 7 years).. then ... why so mean? me thinks you're probably bored... so what do you drive and for how long .. I would never slag off your car... even if it was my worst nightmare and besides I wasn't even talking to you.....

Hi P

LOL Dark Horse....those were the days

Remember Nightmare as well? LOL one and the same I think

Yup, I've seen the pics - Very nice

Claude/Ralph whatever your name is.....

In the uk at least the word "Kraut" (as used by you) to describe someone of Germanic origin is deemed to be a derogatory, offensive and inflamatory term to describe an individual of that particular racial background.

I cannot comment on earlier threads in technical, didn't see the ones to which you refer. But it looks like you are holding a
grudge.

And you forgot very misguided

Claude, you are one of the most argumentative and inflamatory posters on this BBS. Usually the moderators have to clear up the mess after you create it..LOL.....

Whatever If you believe otherwise then that is, of course, your perogative

Diablo.... he's just bored.... which makes you wonder considering his statements about how wonderful he is

and if I'm not mistaken, I do believe the man 'Dark Horse' is still around under another guise.

Come on DH.... hands up!!!!

Glad you liked my car... she really came into her own this morning... there was a whole little procession of cars staying in my tracks ... no slip... no slide... no wheel spin... plenty of grip... very impressive....

PS... I remember Nightmare.... but it wasn't the same person
