Relax, Chicky.
Whoever "Nutbags" is, obviously registered just to put the poll up. Torque has been making a welter of his posting rights & I think if he asks sensible questions & doesn't go overboard, that is fine. DON'T come on here starting a fight with Nutbags, don't take the bait (I speak from experience) & lastly of all, watch your language, as my boy sits here with me looking at the site.
Torque has been a member since mid Jan this year & already has nearly 200 posts. Say about 50 days as a member? How much does that make? 4 posts per day! People are bound to get a little tired.
(No offence intended, Darcy).

Just relax & if you joined just to stick up for him, make an effort & post some car stuff to do with FE & FC.

Darcey,

Have you visited the FB EK forum?

May I suggest it?

I'm sure they shall appreciate your fascinating insights and your informative dialogues on your fleet of truly magnificent FB and EK Holdens.

You could continue all your posts there!

Wouldn't that be fun?

Well put Eddie    ,  but don't forget , there's a "select group of Smart A**** on this site who show no respect , and they know who they are ?"

 Just a "little" help ...

  These seem to be the same kind of car.


 (Other FB/EK owners on this site , Please do not take offence, but this is getting "a bit much" and I don't bother logging on here as often now.)

OK, time to step in before things get out of hand.

nutbags account and his/her poll have both been deleted.

torquefc: the tribe has spoken, mate.  Keep it FE/FC related, and write it in English.  If you haven't got time to type posts with reasonable grammar and spelling, don't bother posting.  Save your comments until you have got the time.  You're getting no respect here because you're showing no respect for others.  This may be a by-product of your age, but it's not ageism from the rest of us.  We've got other youngsters who use this forum, and all are welcome providing they do the right thing.  The occasional pic of non-FE/FC stuff is OK.  Ridiculously long threads like this are not.  There's an FB/EK forum where I'm sure your efforts on this car will be better appreciated.

You should consider this your final warning.  If you continue posting off-topic stuff and/or gibberish, you'll be barred.  I won't have long-standing members with hard-earned 'guru' status getting cheesed off with this forum because you can't be bothered to play by the rules.

Hey you guys don't you think you are a bit hard on Torquefc. What I understand is that he is only 16yrs old. How many times has he got to apologise. What I understand is that he realy enjoys working with his dad on their cars. I great enjoyment when Ben, Josh and I work together on our cars. So what if it is an EK it is still a holden. Don't do this to Torquefc let him enjoy his cars and this sight. Torquefc keep enjoying what you do Personly I think the FB and EKs are great looking cars.

     Cheers Al

Torque's OK, he's still learning about the forum though, I think most other teenagers would have "spat-it" by now at some of the comments and digs that have been made. He's taken other comments in his stride, I am sure he'll abide by the warning.
The issue has probably looked worse than it is due to the slower traffic after the nationals, when every man and his dog seemed to have a car being rebuilt for Jindabyne.
There has been nobody discouraging him from working on old cars, he's pretty lucky to be able to do so at his age.
Hopefully one he'll "do the right thing" one day and get an FE/FC

          If your only 16 as I have read than this is great to see you so keen on the best motor car ever built (48 to HT Holden). Mate I think you have a lot going for you and seem to be pretty well up on the subject. You have stated in other posts how great this forum is, It's become that way over a very long period of time a lot of effort from forum user's shareing information and helping each other out. This could also happen with the FB/EK site and I think that you could be a big part of it, there are grown me out there that don't know 1/2 of what you have posted here and they are trying to restore a car as well. Your age could allow you to start building and watch it grow with time, dont take this as a well worded good bye as I think you have a bit to offer this site as well. Your young so take all that has happened over the past few weeks and learn from it. Give some serious thought to my suggestion of the FB/EK site and helping it develope into a site like this one, But do stick around here as well, as you never know we may just convert you to FE/FC.


Cheers
