    Yeah, but you know I'm right Colin. If A N Other posted that sort of comment about one of my posts it would attract about 15 'Thanks'- and don't you know it!

    All the photo's I take are with my show plates. When I'm driving the car normal use...which is about once or twice a week if I'm lucky then the dealer stamp plates are on. I have my MOT's done at my local dealer and it passes every time.

    So does he. By the way, I notice how everyone will jump to Lee's defense yet will shoot me down for doing exactly what he does. Just goes to show that even though I've just tried helping out the person who originally posted this thread with actual pictures, people still would rather criticise me than thank me for trying to contribute something useful. Then, when I defend my actions with in the same style as those that crticise me, I get winged at. If you can't take it, don't dish it.

    By the way, never before have I seen anyone so vain as to put their "show plates" on to take a picture of their cars with the HID's running in the dark. Beggars belief.

    no it is your holier than thou attitude that gets you all this attention and the fact you can not admit when your wrong and have to keep on arguing and arguing the toss till everyone gives up or your thread gets locked so you think you win

    No the problem is, others can't see when I actually have a point and might be right so they club together and try and grind me down with lots of overpowering comments.

    I'm more than capable of defending myself, thanks all the same.

    ...by posting pictures that are factually useless, misleading and as I've already pointed out, totally useless!
