Wah! Auto included!! Sart!! I just came back from a 100km rounding.... 60% to run in, + 2 stone chip. CCB!

coupe07

juz becos i wasnt in town these few days i suddenly become childish and petty.... I'm no saint anyway...

ANyway no one noes wat happen exactly to determine the whole situation. Derek, i hv oso close that bloody chapter in HK cafe the other day, whch not many pple knew. U r the one keep doing all the small actions.... so u expect me to keep quiet? I have oredi dun really post oredi for the past few weeks. U wan to stir someting, then u be prepared to face the consequence for wat u have written on the forum. Like i said, i had oredi closed the chapter if there is no reciprocal actions from anyone.

swerve, theres always 2 sides to a coin. Yes, it may appear that i'm petty n childish. Judge me only when u have met n tok to me.

Look, coupe07 is coupe07. MG is MG. I have always tried to keep both identities apart. However if u guys asked me questions abt MG stuff then of cos i wil try to help. Those who go meetups shld noe i dun bloody promote MG or any of MG stuff when i'm there, unless anyone request for it.

U guys sld oso notice many old guys dun even post anymore. Maybe u guys tink its me who instigated all these craps n boycott, juz like u guys tink i instigated the poor turnout at the wedding convoy. Howver take a back step n see why old timers dun post. Observe as a neutral bystander and u will notice.

As for the moderator, let me say a word in fairness. He is still moderating and has always passed newbies contacts to me if i do need to contact anyone for meets. Jus that no one can see wat he has done, doesnt mean he did not do anything. This is a thankless job. And i freaking knew it best than anyone else. Nobody will thank u or appreciate anything that u have done but will always criticise..... Again, pple will tink i'm carrying *****. Watever it is lah....

Whether u r a customer of MG or not, it doesnt matter. U wan to call urself AMG or Lorinser or Hamann or Brabus, by all means. I oso still give answers if u ask me anything abt the car, provided i hv the answers. INXS, u noe best when u asked me abt ur charger, after that night. SOrry, this is just an example, if u r offended that ur name is being mentioned.

I oredi had my fair (or rather, unfair) share of organising all these meets. Like i said long time ago, someone shld take over. I've expired for a long long time. Everytime i ask smeone to take over, he always say nobody gives face to attend. Maybe true but i faced the same **** before too. Be sincere, pple will start to come. So pls, take over naturally, the nxt person, while i take step back due to "conflict of interest" and the fair share of lanjiao weis.

As for flyer, he is the most innocent party here. He is one that once things not right, he will comment. But to tink he was ridiculed in here and he is one of the most senior around. See y old birds dun post anymore? Last time we suan-ed everyone everywhere in the forum n laugh it off becos we seen each other before n noe the amount of "pun" one can take.

Everyone wondered y always so late go rounding, y always have to stand around. Early rounding, too many cars and attract unwanted attraction, esp with the way of driving. Last time roundin was "safer". Now, everyone jus wants to be faster than one another. Then the group surely breaks up. Last time, the grp never breaks and if another car of another make try to be funny, he will get it from the RX8s. The old birds shld be able to reminise and laugh abt this..... U DUN NEED TO BE FAST, juz need to be organised.

Kenny, u knn... blue ings very fast meh?? Purple RE chiet u then u noe, like he chiet red tuscani.

Anyway, i used to be and am still is, very vocal n frank in the rx8 forum. ANyone is offended, come fwd to me, drinks as usual, on me.

xacidx

erm...how come no meet up on Sat ah?

INXS

HARLOW.... I am known to be a bigger gas than most ppl... of cos im not offended. This you know better..

Too late to reply..

To be cont'd in daylight. Hahaha..

Swerve76

You are right to say that there are two sides to a coin.

I did not however point the finger at any one person, so:

a) DONT jump to conclusions

b) DONT be defensive

In fact the only one person I DID mention was Derek. Fact is I could not care less whoever it was that had a problem with each other.

Also to take your own advice, do NOT assume that I've judged you simply based on the opinion of others. That is insulting, to say the least on my character.

The problem I DO have is that the actions of a few, are affecting the entire forum as I've said earlier but no I am NOT attributing the fault to any one individual. It does take two hands to clap after all.

So please do not get all defensive. Rather take a step back, chill out and even if you cannot stand the other person (which I would assume to be Derek in this case)....you CAN however learn to tolerate each other for the sake of everyone else.

Anyway I've not met you before and from all accounts that I've heard of you - you seem to be a pretty cool guy with great knowledge of the 8. Heck I'd love to meet you sometime soon and get some mod advice from ya. So let it go man, life is too short to be wasting time with such bullshit imo...especially at our age

Again this is in no way, shape or form meant as an attack on you or Derek. Just an honest and somewhat direct opinion from someone who isnt embroiled in the 'forum wars' and aint taking sides.

We are ALL adults so lets put aside the kiddy stuff and get back to our 50 car Malaysia trips / Sepang trips / etc k pls?

Pretty pls?

Pretty pls with sugar on top?

I could go on and on and on - but I think ya get the picture. So pls do take the first step man - put ur name down and help mend the rift.

If it'll help? I'll get Malcolm to come dressed as a cheerleader complete with pom poms and NO undies.

Cheers,
Mervin 'Swerve' C

T-Rex!

!!

... can we talk about food instead? Are you guys meeting at the McDonald's near the National Stadium?

aurora

NO undies!!!

i likie!!!

coupe07

saturday only occasionally or out of the blue.... cos mostly pple wan to spend with their loved ones, and loved ones ONLY.... not with the rx8 gang... so its seldom but dun discount the possibility....

coupe07

wow, one short statement from me, and the reply is one whole long paragraph.

anyway i always deal with someone with the kind of mentality that he/she has.... childish or not, it doesnt matter, it jus has to be working. As for taking the first step, i have long taken the first step. Just that becos u did not get the full picture, thats y it seems to u that i'm the petty chap here. Anyway, like i said, nothing is worth mentioning if **** is not being stirred. The toleration that u mentioned above will not come into place, becos if nothing is being stirred, the case has ended at HK cafe that night. i emphasise, IF NOTHING BEING STIRRED. Wan to stir ****, make sure u can handle the ****. I tink this is simple theory.

anyway, like i said, its time for me to take a step back. Now n then i may still organise meetups or rounding. but like i said, U guys can start getting someone to organise oredi..

Swerve76

And again I'm NOT saying you are petty.....

So then if you have taken the first step and I'm not aware of it - I apologise.

But since you have taken the first step and now Derek has too - why not be the first to take the second step?

We must have 'head & tail' in whatever we do right?

As for the long reply - you wrongly assumed that I am on Derek's side so what did you expect? If I were to be 'small gas' - I'd think that you are taking me for an childish idiot who does not know any better than to judge you even before I met you.

But again I am not here to stir **** nor am I here to take sides. All I am saying bro is that, can we not try to put our differences aside for the greater good?

Hello Swerve or SG RX-8 Zhang You You....,

Now i know why you can sing so well already... you are so Long-Winded..."长气" Kekekekekee

Cheers!

coupe07

i did not say u r on his side.. if u recall. this will bring me back to wat u have posted to me on ur first post... "dun assume".. sorry this is supposed to be tongue in cheek. Nothing offensive.

Like i say before, i'm not here to make enemies. Likewise i oso not here to recruit watever "my" members, OR recruit customers for MG.

Swerve (or Mervin), if u tink im battling against u or derek or whoever, NO, im not. This is to clarify that I'm just stating my stand. Like i said, i have my way of doing things. First step or second step or which steps, that is not the issue in the first place.

Come come, drinks on me. Place u say.

CoupeM

darkelfin

*squat one side doing chot chot sound*

Swerve76

I'm not going to split hairs with you but I can understand you wanting to take your own stand. Do it sideways for all I care.

Either way lets all hook up this Friday then as per Kenny's suggestion. Thanks for the offer to buy me drinks but a handshake and a smile would be better.

As for the place - lets do BFD. No need to make any reservations and lotta car parking space for our cars. After which we might even have a lil time to do a lil testing...

Silver_Z

Me too.... But I just went to get a drink. My car was reading it too... Now my car is thirsty for 4L of RE Oil!! hehe.... just trying my luck....

Hi Mervin,

I have been deliberating for a long time on a proper response to your post while trying not to sound petty or like picking fights for no reason. I do appreciate your efforts to make peace in this forum especially since you are also fairly new here.

Like Ivan posted, the so called 'feud' ended at HK Cafe, but unfortunately Derek continued his insinuating 'joke'. I have never held a grudge in my life and certainly have no intention to start now, least of all for something that I have no vested interests in. I have nothing to gain from getting embroiled in this saga except for some small little satisfaction in standing up for what I feel is right. I'm glad you found it amusing, but I think if you were in Ivan's shoes and on the receiving end of someone's 'joke' then maybe it wouldn't be so funny to you.

I really wish coming out really = burying the hatchet, but unfortunately coming out and going rounding, bowling, makan or chit chatting is only superficial as long as there are undercurrent such as 'AMG' in existance. There has to be some sincerity, else it's all a mute point. I for one would be glad to meet up with my old buddies and meet some of the newbies for some activities or even just toking **** and sharing info. If it's on this Friday 19 Jan, then I can probably make it down, but if it's on 2 Feb as Derek posted, then I'm afraid I would have to give it a miss as I will be out of town. Hope I won't be seen as being petty, holding a grudge or not willing to bury the hatchet.

INXS

Flyer, its a reconciliation step moving forward.

Of cos, theres a risk of them throwing 15lbs at each other.. hahahaah.. But come on, it takes time.. to heal and mellow the grudge.
