Lol,

As previously explained WOT, but you're not listening... who cares.

Anyway, while we digress, do you want to race your car against mine, as irrelevant in this thread as your pissing about w/my 1st post.

Wanna race me or not WOT, looks like your car is very highly modified, judging by your 27 gazillion modifications listed, surely you'd smoke me, throttle wide open & whatnot... have you got any money to bet, I'll pop a fair few Rutherfords down against you.

Since we're digressing....

Astute, and they start a new 'Breakfast Menu' this Wednesday, means I can now receive people before lunch, indeed possibly hold 'early morning meetings' though thankfully few of my clients are likely to ever be very keen on pre-midday appointments lol

This is just my opinion but the Classifieds is almost a separate place to the forums, its not a sub-thread. So really in my opinion it doesnt matter if they dont post all the time. If they need something or want to sell something then go ahead. Quite a few times people have been members for a while but just read and dont post often or at all which is fine too.

Also Harlan I have seen how quick WOTs car is on track and its probably faster than mine is through corners(I drive like a nana on the street) and faster than all the Subie/Evos/Skylines at the track day. Watch out :lol:

I agree it should require at least a few posts before someone can sell...not too many that it becomes a genuine hindrance but enough to ensure that there is some level of trust between the buyer and seller (Say 5?)

Not having a prior post requirement could leave this community vulnerable to the passing of stolen goods and we have less consumer protections buying through here than Tard-me.

:lol: This thread is hillarious.

Im with harlan on this one, all the other forums im on have a minimum post amount before you can post a classified or in a for sale sub-forum.
Minimum post count or at least an introduction would help judge whether they are a genuine seller, some cheapskate who doesnt want to pay trademe fees or someone selling stolen goods(as timmo mentioned)

A mandatory location would work wonders as well, i get tired of sending messages to someone only to find that they are in the middle of nowhere.

---- Hilarious Thread -------
If no one is going to accept the challenge of the race, I'll put my hand up.
Taupo on the 7th or
Hampton on the 18th
Will be at both open Trackdays

Would be good if a few other members turned up too,
Trackdays are the most fun you can have with your pants on. :D

I like scenic drive, I like a post count before buying/selling, and I don't like having to have a post count before posting pictures.

I have come across other forums with a buy/sell post count (eg nzguitars.com) but never a forum with a picture post count.
