Its a sad sad day.... i lost my loved one.

[sclarke]

Guys,
Last night the worst thing that can happen to a landy owner happened...
I had to say goodbye to my loved Land rover.

I drove Grommet into the City where the new owner (pilot from QLD) took the keys off me and the exchange of folding stuff took place and i said my goodbye's

It was a very sad momnet that i never ever want to do again.......
























BUT.....

Ive got Cash now and a County is begging me to finish it.
So i washed it and degreased the engine and engine bay....

Project County will comence after Easter.....:):):)

[mcrover]

So are the zebra stripes going on the County or are you going to go tiger stripes on G4 orange this time?;)

Onward and upward I suppose, Auto county would be good.:D

[tracker]

(pilot from QLD)
a least it will get a decent number plate now.













just kidding

[hiline]

nothing sad about a fist full of dollars :D;)

[crump]

Good grief!
It is only a bloody car??

"i lost my loved one." is a very flippant word considering what some have recently been through. :mad:
no, its a Landrover.:p

[stevo68]

"i lost my loved one." is a very flippant word considering what some have recently been through. :angry:Freakin hell, why add something that has nothing to do with the post mate...each to their own. Don't like the thread then don't enter into it, what is it with people like you?

So as not to be hypocritical :D, I hear ya Steve, I am also going to lose a loved car as it looks like my D3 is sold, and I can tell you I luuurrrvveeee that car but onwards and upwards,

[Ken]

Not to worry mate us real Landy Lovers understand Im sorry to hear the bad news ;):D:D

[Utemad]

It is a sad day to see your baby leave home. However you will soon get over it once the new project takes shape.

The pain will ease :)

Interesting.....
Since someone high up on the forum pointed out you love a stir and causing trouble i'm finding more often that this is the case.....

You obviously dont know my sence of humor and the "Lost a loved one" was tongue in cheek....

I will miss it and it is only a car..... Lighten up.... i'm guessing there is a dark cloud over head....

[sclarke]

So are the zebra stripes going on the County or are you going to go tiger stripes on G4 orange this time?;)

Onward and upward I suppose, Auto county would be good.:D

I'm unsure on colour on the County Yet....
its white, but i'm thinking going the whole hog and making it a millitary replica

OR Camel Trophy replica....

OR turn it into a Madmax mobile??

Missus wants it to look like Lara Crofts beast......

[Utemad]

I'd do the Camel Trophy replica if anything. Military ones are everywhere. Mostly genuine ones no doubt :)
But you never see a trophy in Oz.

[easo]

Sorry about that mate, I loved admiring her over this site.

Farwell Wheeled Zebra.

Oh my god . are you serious :mad: . Who made you the post police and tell people what they can and can't do :eek: WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU !!!! . Every one has a right to say what they want on here .... but from now on maybe we should run it by you first .... what a joke :mad:

[Xavie]

You , did I say people cant say what they want? Sure everyone has a right to say what they want...plus expect people to comment....just like you have.... :p. Can you now not see how contradictory you are, you've just joined the force,

Do the smiley faces negate what you are saying or are they there to lighten the load on yourself?

Okay I'll start again, yes we did bury a "Loved one last week". Her Husband and Children are very distraught!

And no, nobody got cash to buy a new mother and wife!! :mad::mad::mad:

[p38arover]

We also buried a loved one (our son) last week.

However, that's not how I took Clarkie's post. I assumed from the topic title that he was referring to his dog (we buried ours last year and he was a loved one, too).

I wasn't offended by the post and I think you fellas have gone a bit overboard on this thread.

[hiline]

well said Ron ;)

[sclarke]

Spot on Ron...
Thank you


Lighter note to all the others

Now one might appologise for the original thread if it sent you on a wild goose chase, But one wont, as if you had of read the thread and read it like most do without bringing feeling or your own loss in then, there would not be an issue and argument. I feel for those who have lost loved ones. But i also can control my anger enough not to pop when i see a thread that can be taken in differnet way.

To be honest. Since i got banned i have taken a different veiw on the Forum... Its changing from what it was..... it used to be kind and respectful, but now its just one step of being a "overlander" or "4wdmonthly"

We need to stop the arguments and carrry on.
There is a time and a place for the mud fights.. and yes every so often a thread pops up and someone has a neg view or a belief that the other person is wrong. Express yourself, but there is no need to fire up and keep going at it.

Do a search on certain members and see how many of the comments they make are a Negative towards the previous post. Some are quite high.
Some say the Vic guys are bullies..... Well some of us had issues and its been sorted.... Quick phone call and an appologie from my end sorted it. So guys.. Do as Jesus did and Forgive, Drink and get nailed......

my sentiments exactly clarkie..

been saying it for ages...

the admim and mod has been too liberal it seems...

that is changing as of now.

there WILL BE INFRACTIONS HANDED OUT over this thread and any repeat of the behaviour will be dealt with in exactly the same manner.

[Andy-M]

G'day all,

After reading previous threads about Clarkie selling his beloved Landy :eek:, I pretty much new what the content of what this thread was going to be before I opened it.

I don't see topics labeled like this one as a problem or being in bad taste, everyone has different issues in their life at different times, read and accept post's the way they are meant to be read and don't take them as a personal attack on what may be going on in your own life.

I rarely put up many posts but I usualy check and read posts on a daily basis. Recently there has been a lot of negative replies to posts. Is it the weather at the moment, people spending too much time inside or just the way society is going.

Down here in tas we try to not worry about too much, we are all smiling and happy, because our weather has been better than up north this year :lol2: :tease:! (about the only year I can say this).

Be happy and keep smiling.

Cheers Andy :twobeers:

[jik22]

I am also going to lose a loved car as it looks like my D3 is sold, and I can tell you I luuurrrvveeee that car but onwards and upwards,



Meant to ask in another thread - why is the D3 going?

[jik22]

Okay I'll start again, yes we did bury a "Loved one last week". Her Husband and Children are very distraught!

And no, nobody got cash to buy a new mother and wife!! :mad::mad::mad:

It's tragic when anyone loses a loved one, and you have our sympathies of course, but please don't let your grief spill over into negativeness towards a harmless post as this benefits no-one, least of all yourself.

[Utemad]

When I first joined this forum it was a breath of fresh air from the likes of other 'all makes' forums I had been using. Everyone seemed to get along great and it was if moderators were not even required. Possibly even one of the reasons I bought a Land Rover in the first place (as I didn't have one when I joined. Was just looking into them).

I hope it can get back to that soon. I honestly miss it.

I just cannot comprehend the way some people carry on here and other internet forums. People wouldn't treat each other like that in real life so why do it when you think you have anonymity behind your computer?

[Utemad]

The edit post button is gone. I'll just add this here then.

If you were sitting around the campfire and the conversation turned to something that didn't interest you either because you knew about it already or you just plain didn't like it then would you abuse everyone? I hope not. I'd hope you would just sit patiently for your turn or move to another group.

As I asked before, why is it any different on the internet?

For a long long time it wasnt Justin. There were just 3 mods for General.

to put in in perspective,, there are now 5 mods for GEN.

That's because they'd be at risk of a kicking - on here is deemed safe. Sad, as you say. :(

and warnings were hardly ever handed out and there was no need for the "Mod Warning Banner".:eek:

good looking banner though :D

[feraldisco]

yes...two of the reasons I hardly ever refer to the Exploroz forum any more and instead focus on this one are:

. the lack of intelligent, informed posts on the former...yes, I don't want to blow sunshine up your exhausts, but you guys are relatively intelligent and informed (and not just about LRs)...

. the large number of self-opinionated plonkers on Exploroz who are only too happy to start a fight over very minor things...let's avoid this happening on this forum!:cool:

[stevo68]

Righto,yes as has been pointed out, anyone has a right to say what they want. Yes, I had the screamers over Wannalandys response because if he wants to get fired up, get fired up over the fact that some people, whether their right or not, jump into a thread, post something that has nothing to do with the thread...and 9/10 times it is negative. Get fired up over that as opposed to someone pointing out that rudeness. No, Im not the police, but I do enjoy reading peoples posts and it is bloody infuriating when people like to have a whinge for whinges sakes, and being a pig headed, stubborn, tell it like it is person...I will say so. Just as I have when I see sometimes it looks like people maybe bullying, I will say something.

To answer Xavie, their wasn't any negating, I actually found the response hilarious as what he was trying to berate me for, he was guilty of the same thing.

Forget its a forum and take it into "real life"...if I am having a chat with mates and someone wanders over and starts slamming the conversation we are having, I would give them both barrels. Yeah for sure, I can't tell them they have no right, but it is downright rude all the same. Its called etiquette, even in the recent posting on internet etiquette is on the whole stick with the theme. I guess seeing that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. In this case Clarky has posted something about his car going and 3 posts in....SLAM......had nothing whatsoever to do with the thread. Maybe I am alone in this thought,

Guys,
Last night the worst thing that can happen to a landy owner happened...
I had to say goodbye to my loved Land rover.

yep - mine's gone too - cash was needed acutely .... Now I'll wait a bit and see whether i can flog a subaru forester for a D2.... :)

[Ricey]

Hey Clarkie, is there any chance you could change the thread title? Something like....
Its a sad sad day.... i SOLD my loved one.

Angus Yep, I agree and :blush: I apologise for being a little heavy handed in my response to Wannalandy, we all have differing view points and at times...including myself....could better construct my point of view. Oh and as for tissues mate :p, only use them when one on my brats gets hurt or Im watching Eight Below Zero :).

In terms of commiserating, I can fully understand with my D3 going on Tuesday :( to its new owner, and I can tell you, it may only be a car but am gutted all the same as it was my first 4WD, First Landy, first time going off road and camping with the kids, so its not just a hunk of metal, but an adventure along with getting me from A-B. The upside is it won't be my last D3 :D, but in the interim a late model 03/04 D2, TD5 will take its place to be built into an off road beasty,

Thats a bit backwards isnt mate?! Most people want to trade UP to a D3 from a D2, not the other way around! LOL :D

Are you just a bit worried about breaking the D3? I can tell ya fixin a D2 isnt much cheaper!! ha ha

Maybe you should look into a county like Clarkie? Do you have the bus yet Clarkie?

Angus

[Mrs_Clarkie]

Get it right....Steve doesnt own the County .... I DO :twisted::twisted:
Why do you think he is putting an auto in it ??

His life is over , I made him buy me a county, knock me up & buy me a new lounge suite & work on my car in 38 degree heat :D:D:D:D

It's all you women ever think of. At least when you bang up a Landy you can fix it in your spare time.

perfectly understandable, under the circumstances. And jolly good of you to volunteer to make them a lounge suite Ron !

And how are you going to get the missus to lend you the County for a bit of fun?

[RonMcGr]

I guess you have all learned a lesson about, "the way words are written" and how they can be "perceived by others?"

Not everyone is on the same wave length, so messages can be read in different meanings!

Half the problems in this forum arise from individuals posting what they think is a cool heading, but not looking at what consequences can arise from other members thoughts on the same heading.

And no, I'm NOT stirring, I'm simply pointing out a fact in a thread, that I had NO input in, but did confuse others.

Some may have said things as a joke, that was not "picked up" by others.

I also have a bad habit of NOT explaining my "written" thoughts, thoroughly, which can be seen in a different aspect by others.

I hope these comments are understood and not taken as a direct insult, or as a disruptive comment. That was not on my agenda.

Regards,
Ron

I will miss it and it is only a car..... Lighten up.... i'm guessing there is a dark cloud over head....


you don't need to explain anything to us sane people clarkie, we understand how important the relationship between a man and his landy is.
even my wife wont let me sell LRYOOT.
best let sleeping dogs lie, get over the loss of Grommet and move on. you'll be a better man for it.:D

[simonl8353]

All AULRO member reading this thread, remember this section of the forum is, and I quote..

"General Chat Almost anything goes, have a look and drop in a few lines. Think of it as a campfire chat".

This is exactly what's happening, and a good laugh I'm having reading it :D:D. Bring in the emotion, subtle jibes and heated debate. Try to remain somewhat respectful though. If I want to learn something I go to the technical section, not this one.

I too was originally missled by the original title in light of the recent sadness to some members, but took no offence, read the thread and boy am I ****ing myself watching you all apologise to each other. :)

[Redback]

It has always amazed me how someone can find emotion in text, if you delibrately word something to abuse, then that is different (ie) calling someone a knob.

Having an opinion is not an excuse to abuse someone because you don't agree with that opinion.

Put your point of view across on what you believe is correct, but don't abuse, please, it doesn't make you right, it just makes you abusive.

Not everyone is on the same wave length, so messages can be read in different meanings!

Half the problems in this forum arise from individuals posting what they think is a cool heading, but not looking at what consequences can arise from other members thoughts on the same heading.

And no, I'm NOT stirring, I'm simply pointing out a fact in a thread, that I had NO input in, but did confuse others.

Some may have said things as a joke, that was not "picked up" by others.

I also have a bad habit of NOT explaining my "written" thoughts, thoroughly, which can be seen in a different aspect by others.

I hope these comments are understood and not taken as a direct insult, or as a disruptive comment. That was not on my agenda.

Regards,
Ron

I think you need to have a look at what you 1st posted in this thread.
None of us have learnt from this "Heading" as you call it.
There is nothing wrong with it, its only the people that have issues with others that need to fire up.
Not one other has complained about the title. Once again you try to push your beliefs onto others.

Take a step back and breath, then look at what you post.
If it is going to be taken as a Negative or an attack, then dont post it.

This is the only post that the heading is not as you might think. You cant use this as a firing point, as you have fired on many a normal post.

Not everyone see's eye to eye. But if you think before you post, then you wont get infractions or banned....

Ohhhhh How do i know that????????????
I'm No1 on the Mods hit list..... i have more infractions and warnings than than Ben Cousins.
