looking for a used car... - Page 2

Harrison · 27-06-2015, 08:41 PM

I'd be looking for a low mileage one owner Corolla or the same in a Hilux diesel 2WD dual cab with a non electronic motor.

Spend 8 or 9K and then use the rest for modifications and / or a service.

Yea, I've never seen any other make or model discussed in these pages. It fits the purpose that Hulk described, what's the problem here?

Take a step down from your self righteous high chair buddy. Have you even looked the car up? Do you even know what it is? Or have you just seen the word "skyrine" and gone full closed minded?

**MercurySilver** · 29-06-2015, 06:48 PM

I'd say he was ummmm
Prob taking the ****???

brennan. · 29-06-2015, 08:41 PM

I don't take it back.

Mate that's like ****ing on a fuel truck on fire.
The amount of personal off topic garbage allowed in every hulk thread is disgusting. Bullying and personal attacks should not be allowed just because he may/or may not be trolling sometimes. It's disgusting how many of you make lame smart **** off topic cracks. Does it make you feel big and tough???

You should be ashamed(you know who you are)

Quite often the topics, just like this one are legit and often interesting. I for one would love to see a total crack down on this Forums Hulk Bullying. It's embarrassing and not on!!!

It's sad that I feel this needs to be said but hopefully this will last long enough to get a few likes from honest respectable ford fans!
My appolagies....

Are you one of Hulk's neighbour's

He might not be a bad person after all, but he's threads are
are just the same based on the same topic or similar
we like to read different things time to time not on the same topic
it get's boring with Hulks thread how many times do they get closed

cheers Dean

Trump · 30-06-2015, 08:31 AM

Another one bites the dust (again)

(and again)

(and again)

You of all people supporting Hulk and his threads. Why does that not surprise. And you admit he may be trolling FFS. What's embarrassing is that his threads are left to go on for so long, and you wonder why he is attacked

superyob · 30-06-2015, 09:24 AM

1Tuffute, Hulk has no moral high ground to stand on. If you look past his seemingly innocuous words, you will find an agenda that is designed to:
1. ask a question he already has an answer for (usually moronically trivial)
2. be argumentative
3. insult (indirectly) those who give an answer that he does not agree with
4. come out on top of his own agenda and pose as some sort of authority on how to stroke veeblefetzers.

As someone has already pointed out, Hulk is no car lover/enthusiast and just loves to trash anything he can because he is very good at getting a reaction.

My own POV, nobody seriously ponders most of the conundrums posed by Hulk, but he does it very well and people (myself included) will continue to respond…

HULK_I6T · 30-06-2015, 10:13 AM

ive said this many times over..

My threads are designed to be inclusive, appeal to a wider audience.

They are to initiate an intelligent car related discussion inviting a wide range of people that can participate, to be inclusive.

Im not trying to sell anything in these threads unlike many others.

I dont ask questions that benefit only me unlike many others that only post when they are trying to troubleshoot a specific problem in their own car that doesnt affect anyone else.

There is some light hearted humour, I NEVER target anybody on here on a personal level, instead level them with some facts about a particular topic. However I field a fair bit of abuse but I have thick skin knowing most of them are just bitter because they have high km, roughie cars etc. Sort of like trying to argue with a drunk, I wont engage.

I am a proud member of this community and contribute more to this community than most.

A large percentage of members only participate for their own personal gain, either to sell something or troubleshoot a specific problem with their car, they grab from this community at every opportunity but give little back. These are largely exclusive threads as most members cannot relate.

I only give back, not grab anything. I instead try and include as many people in a discussion as possible. Its not trolling, its being community minded to organise things that people can participate.

My advice to you is assess a thread asking is the OP trying to sell something? that should dictate your manners.

It would be helpful if the poster wasn't a douche and then expect help from members.

That's funny, because it seems to me that you've started an open thread to all members asking for assistance. Or am I reading the thread title and OP wrong?

I couldn't even begin to imagine the number of very helpful people that you and your crappy attitude have lost all potential for help from.
Maybe a time to re-think your approach?

Went like a rocket (back then) and the sound of the air going into the triple Webber's made your knees tremble.

Of course if you wanted to go around corners fast it was a different story
