Thank you all for your kind comments and indeed offers, but that was never the intention, however I have had a PM from said member and should be sorted soon, so will leave it at that, regards Rick

I'm glad it's sorted, I remember when you helped me out with a spark generator, that's going back a year or two, was it just after your party? - thanks again!

Yeah right...

The problem with this episode is that, I like many have had free offers of help.
Members willing to go to dismantlers close by them to get parts for me and even drop them off.

I wouldn't see them out of pocket, even if they won't accept cash, we always have a bottle or two handy.. Did I say they were full though ...?

It certainly leaves a sour taste in the mouth. However, the majority of the members on this site are like minded and will continue to help each other, and I guess Rick will too, but as they say once bitten...

Don't forget we are a helpful club...
There are many members who still pay to be a member of this site, even though they are Nissanless and regularly post advice to other members, just because of the comradeship between strangers. I have never found a site more helpful and friendly.

I know that Rick, (like many other members on here) has also given his time and comfort to even leave the house to go rooting in his workshop for parts or sizes of items at midnight or even later.
I have done the same but as my garage is integral, I can pop out in my dressing gown...

Like any group of individuals, people come from all walks of life, and as a consequence have a mix of people with differing morals.

At this point I would also like to thank the " armchair " members, what I mean by that, is those that spend time researching information, data from manuals, searching ebay for parts, searching past posts and links to them, those that have strong opinions on issues particularly health and safety. Also thanks to those members who have taken time to post pictures and procedures This is what helps to make a strong foundation for the club.

Going forward..
Let's not let this one off incident, sour the taste of what is one of the best forums around.

Best regards,

Richard (Rustic).
Hear hear!

I hope this wont mean your presence on the site reduced, and finally I would be more than happy to make a contribution, as imagine others would, to help mitigate your losses.

With Regards

Alan
Couldn't of put it better myself.

yes it was a great party, in celebration of our conversion and occupation of the stables we now live in, but seems the council take a different view, and dis agree, even though they immediately slapped 4 years back council tax on us, talk about double standards, so the fight goes on, Rick
