Alright, i feel i need to clear something up in here, even though i said i wasnt going to post again.

I just had a phone call from my old man, who has had Steve (the owner of the blue GTR, and the black car being discussed) Down at his shop.

To clear up the issue he raised-

I did not, in any way mean what i wrote as an insult to steve or his cars, He does quite well considering his physical restraints. The cars and undies analogy was meant in jest, something that i often forget, does NOT trasmit well over the internet.

Steve, i know you will most likely read this, and im sorry if you took anything i wrote in the wrong way. You can do whatever you want with your cars, im not going to sit here and tell you what you can and cant do, i was simply saying that in your hands you have a genuine GTR, which with a little perserverence could become an excellent (modified or original) example of an LJ GTR, and in the future be worth a pretty penny.

Orginally you spoke to myself and Ray about returning it to mostly original. Your plan was to collect the bits and peices you needed over time and have a nice car.

I thought when you said this, geez steve might be on to something, he has a genuine GTR, all the time in the world to develop it and he didnt pay a motza for it.

So i was dissapointed when i heard you planning to sell it off. Anything i wrote that you took offence to, go back and re-read, then think what it would sound like if it came out during morno at the workshop. I think you will find most of it would be laughed at and laughed off. The internet just doesnt seem to convey the same ambience of the muffler shop doorway.

Mate, again im sorry if what i typed came off the wrong way. i know you think im a smart ass. most people do. And when my persona in reality is put with words typed on a screen, they are often taken the wrong way.

I don't think you worded anything in an insultive way Chris. I don't actually know who Steve is, but he should be able to see it the same way that I am seeing it, and that is your expressing your opinion harmlessly.

All i know is my step-dad rang me and said that steve had been down there and had taken what i had written in a completly different manner to what i intended.

This is steves current GTR- STEVES TORRY

Ohhh yes I know that car. Cheers

Ahhh well it's easy to mis-interpret things on forums. But don't stress too much, everything thinks i'm a little smartarse and it too bad. And I feel satisfied that pretty much everything I say is honest.

hey, shit happens. That can be the worst thing about the net trying to convey your full meaning to someone, no doubt a lot of arguments have started on this site through misunderstandings. So I say live and let live, in the end words are just that words, build a bridge and get over it (any other cliches i missed...)

best saying I ever heard was "opinions are like assholes...everyone has one"
