In fact I want to hear more about what Gage is currently messing with and what he thinks of it. He's been quiet of late.

Thanks Driver.   

Bolus, I will probably be asking you for more of your suggestions and advice in regard to this and other topics (in the appropriate place ;)).  I like your approach to most things.  And no, I'm not installing the shifter on the passenger seat.   Grin

I dont think so...
I have been asked questions about the "N" car and answered them but it has been made abundantly clear that the "N" is not really welcome ...even in a thread that is titled "Atom competitor"...
but thats life I suppose...
Maybe I should just call it an XBOW-WOW and have a thread thats 87 pages long on an AAOC forum...  :o

Not trying to start a flame war just wondering where the line is drawn...

Problem being that as the "N" a new car the only person able to answer the questions is me....catch 22 I suppose...I dont actually start the discussions about the products but I will answer questions...does that constitute hawking my wares?

I hear you. I also understand you were only responding to questions posed. :)

To be fair to the moderator, the warning was posted after replies 772 and 776 in Another would be Atom Competitor?, both of which were unsolicited progress updates, over 2 and 3 weeks respectively after the last question was asked.

Frankly, this is what is wrong with this website.  This isnt an independent owners club, this is Ariel's site:

"Promoting or assisting in the production of any car that is considered in the eyes of the Ariel Motor Company to be a design copy of the Ariel Atom, could potentially involve the Ariel Atom Ownerâ??s [sic] Club in a legal dispute"

I would be totally in support of this rule if Ariel actually contributed here, paid the hosting bills, answered questions, helped with potential owner's sales. 

But they dont.... all the content on this site is from us (and a ton of it by me frankly)

[/quote]

But they are very helpful to owner's in general.  Even owners like me who don't use them for maintenance just for the odd part, this is why they have some sway around these parts.

Fran, I really don't think there is a problem with you answering questions about your cars, we are all car people here and there is a difference in me asking 'how much is that Ultima a like car you do' and you starting a thread called 'Fran's cars on $$$' I don't think I am the only moderator to see it like this

you didn't piss me off.  I'm still pissed off from like a year ago I posted a copy of the owners manual (which was available on the company's frickin website because that's where I got it) because it had information on how to start the car.  and telling people how to start the car here will get your post deleted instantly.  ::)

Im cranky today anyway so I think I'll give myself a 24 hour ban before I start deleting my posts  >:(

Gabe is busy with his new toy...he took delivery on Wed. but I cant say what it is as my company built it...... ;)

Fran, To me, the line is drawn when it comes to promotion (which means sales). Technical discussion, ohhing and aweing over the features, etc... should be allowed just as the XBow discussion was allowed. The rub is how you phrase your legitimate responses as you are the manufacturer. Gage and other people are not held to the same standard as he is a individual with nothing to gain. I think there is room for everyone to get along as long as whoever posts here remembers what Forum they are on.

In fact I want to hear more about what Gage is currently messing with and what he thinks of it. He's been quiet of late.

Bolus,

I reckon if YOU bought a Nemesis they would let you chat about it... ;D...its just me that cant... :-*
[/quote]

I think you can chat about it on the relevant thread just not promote / solicit orders.  Not exactly clear but it is more valuable for the aaoc to keep the factory onside than others......

My tools are my life. If all I did was use them for the occasional job,I guess anything that resembled a wrench would do.  I use my tools every day. Every day for tha last 35 years. I have many that old.
Over the years,I have found the overall quality,finish and design of tools made specifically for the professional mechanic are well worth the additional expense. Snap-On,Mac,Matco,Craftman,Par-X,and even Gearwrench are quality.
I cannot tolerate tools that break or that strip components and will not subject my customers or my own vehicles to potential tool abuse.

About those seats Bolus...
