No Hard Feelings

[Guest Radders]

hi everyone,

 

My post within Robin Hood bad press has gone down like a lead balloon! So I take the opportunity to put a few things to rest. Firstly, I have two children under 5 that go to school right next to a busy road so I am more than aware of the dangers of careless driving and speeding. Secondly I reiterate...I have a clean license and I very rarely go over a speed limit in any zone. On the said day I was driving around, having fun and minding my own business when the Golf R came blasting up behind me, goading me...I bit and a very short spell of spirited driving ensued. As far as the 'drag race' is concerned I coloured the story a little for some drama to illicit a few smiles? I was naive in this judgement and I truly wish I'd kept the story to myself. This took place on an isolated section of dual carriageway with barely a car around and 20ft high grass banking either side, at least half a mile away from the nearest built up area. There wasn't a soul in site nor could have been. This post is not an attempt to justify my previous post but merely to let people know I am not some unbalanced loon who goes around racing everything that moves and never have been. I. Have offended you then please do accept my apologies and going forward I will not post any more. I bid you good day.

Dislike the ending.

VERY MUCH DISLIKE.

Personalised insults should not be any part of this site.Now or in the future.

sorry you feel this way about the forum a can assure you that I was not offended by your original post and I suspect 99.9 percent of the users of this forum weren't either it would be a great shame to loose a member

You had a bit of a brag, which didn't put many smiles on members faces; you were man enough to apologise -- 'nough said -- continue the good work, posts & banter.

Agree with the others, you're not the 1st and won't be the last. Good on you for this post though.

As I was the 1st to pick you up on your post (I'm a Moderator so goes with the territory) I'll just clarify my reply was merely to advise this is a "Public Forum" and not the ideal place for such admission.

Take it on the chin, as you appear to have done now, and carry on. This really is a good club.

No hard feelings here either, in fact lesson learned, every day is a school day as they say.

As my comments have ruffled a few feathers amongst the members I've asked for a moderator to remove them in the interest of forum harmony.

Let he who doesn't embellish cast the first con rod,

Jes, I need to get a life....

most of what I read was just warning of putting such things on a public forum. My cousin got fired from a job for doing just that not just the law that look at this stuff.

 

most were just looking out for a fellow hoodie!

Radders,

 

Thank you for taking the time to post this topic. I for one was not offended by you, and my post (like others) was a suggestion that what you'd wrote may not have been in your best interests as other 3rd parties watch what goes on in this forum - as unclechief puts it "just looking out for a fellow hoodie!"

 

For anyone else wanting to use this topic to inflame the situation all over again, I'm simply removing the posts as soon as I see it.

As above, 'nough said.

9 times out of 10 when you go out in the kit car someone will want to race you. They are an idiot magnet. Just do what the penguins do.
