I can't understand why ASW got so irate over paying for use of the forum, when the Martins OP saying nothing about that coming into force at the moment

I can only presume, (because i have no idea who his is ) he had lots and lots of things to sell and begrudged paying for them to be listed

May be he own a second hand parts company

For the record, though, you clearly have absolutely no idea who I am and, more to the point, what I am capable of contributing to this forum in terms of advice, influence and assistance... It is no coincidence that I have learned nothing about Land Rover from this site that I didn't already know, yet, if you care to trawl through my posts you will find that I have shared a great deal of detailed product knowledge in the short time I have been here.

Sadly I took you up on your offer of reading through your posts

All I could see was "Blah... Blah... Blah" and you asking "How do I? ...why does it?...."

"shared a great deal of detailed product knowledge "

I`ve found this forum a very helpful and enjoyable resource, and hope to repay my gratitude to it, in some way, shape or form. I fully support the new decision to charge for listing.

But... having setup / hosted / administered many forums, I`m curious about why this forum has such high maintenance costs ? I`m sure, if these costs were briefly explained it would enable people to have a clearer understanding of your current position, and maybe offer advice or assistance.

The forum is blessed with a fine bunch of sponsors, who`s contributions "I`d" have thought would handsomly cover the yearly costs ? But that`s just from my personal opinion, from previous experience.

Anyhow, onwards and upwards - The web has been enriched by the treasure that is RRSPORT.CO.UK

There clearly are some unpleasant people within this forum. It's a good forum, but the trouble with some people is that they use such places to snipe at others from the safety of a pseudonym bunker.

There are others who claim that their arrogant rudeness is a sense of humour.

Maybe the person who started the anger in the thread should apologise and everyone can get back to being dignified human beings. It takes a strong person to admit they were wrong. I've been mad for flipping years, absolutely years, over the edge for yonks.

Would it be so terrible if Martin wanted to actually put a couple of quid in the bank for all his efforts? We all get more out of these forums than we do from magazines etc, and we don't prod the publishers for a breakdown of their printing costs.  Two lives - lived one

I'm sorry

But ultimately who is wrong ??

You say that people hide behind a pseudonym bunker.... and then in the next sentence fail to say who you are referring too . Have the balls to say it was me chap . I'm not offended by anything ...especially from chumps Does that offend you ? I'm sorry if it does..... there ...I'm strong again

As for dignified human beings ..............then put your friggin hands in your pockets and do the dignified thing for the site owner

Not wanting to stir up more issues, however out of interest.....

What sort of money do the site sponsors donate to the site, afterall other traders entries are shunned unless they are a site sponsor. I apreciate some sponsors get more trade than others so there must be some form of sliding scale to their fees.

Sorry, but it just isn't good commercial sense to wave rates around. Two lives - lived one

Seems fair to me, you could sell a load of items and before you know it might have paid as much as a sponsor.

What is wrong with a little honesty......

Well now I know it was VA ..then I agree with you


Sorry to be so direct chaps ...you would be used to this direct and in your face type of humour if you bought a D3


I'll bow out and leave you all to ponder site closure

mercuryl - I stand by what I say and I'm still ashamed of certain members on this forum, maybe I should have qualified exactly who the post was aimed at originally but if you read my later post I think it makes it clear. Personally I think ASW spat his dummy out and completely overreacted.

Now take a deep breath chaps and calm down.


At the end of the day this is Martin's site, his baby and if he decides to pull the plug because it's not worth his time and effort many of us will regret it. I have been banging on about donations for years on this site and have tried the nice approach, the direct approach and the sterner approach and with very little effect. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
