    Does anyone else find it amusing...

    ... when people list their cars on here and mention the great condition it is in etc, yet seemingly forget that during earlier times they have posted a huge list of issues they have had?

    I won't link to any one in particular I have noticed, but I guess it is a big downside of such a public forum when you list problems, which can come back to bite you later

    it could, of course, just be me buuut...

    wouldnt a problem thats appeared on a vehicle mentioned within the hallows of this forum be one thats generally been addressed and resolved

    to paraphrase.

    but buried in the miasma of text is that the problem is actually fixed and is now not a problem.
