Yep, another not so veiled shot at us "HDR gang".
Low profile Jack threads, several HDR comments, they don't go unnoticed.
I see them buddy. You think you are being subtle. Don't know what your problem is with us and many times me personally, and we have even never met, but enjoy those little pokes you obviously feel you need to take.
Keep it up.

And by the way, I can take a joke, and can poke fun at myself and welcome any of my FRIENDS to do so, but YOU are NOT my friend.
And I get along with pretty much anybody!

We have freedom of speech in Canada.

I don't know what gang you belong to and I don't know what triggered your response Corrado to my reply to Greg.

I interpret your post as on-line harassment and "keep it up" as another direct threat from you.
Do you want to get the police involved Corrado ?
I have no problem taking a drive over to Vaughan to do so.

Once again i am not threatening you. Why is it you can dish out the snide verbal abuse, but can't take it?

I don't need to air my dirty laundry in public. But I ask for you to stop making snide comments regarding borrowing things, "being pathetic or sad", etc, etc.

Gangs, threats and the police what is going on!!!

The Hot Dog Gang really is a gang?

I better watch what I say here on CFCDN edition I don't want to get involved with any local gangs.

Peace to all

PS...May have to review membership renewals... as it is against forum rules to allow any known gang members to be approved as a CF member.... Sec 8 (1a) Membership Acceptance

Oh FFS, there is no "gang". The Hot Dog Run group has been referred to as the HDR Gang by QIK59.

There are no threats, or gangs here, (that I know of) so no need to fear QIK59. You don't have to like me and I certainly don't like you, but I still won't stay idle as when I see snide remarks being directed towards me or my friends.

To the original poster Briankeery, very sorry to hijack this thread. Has nothing to do with you, rather just a last straw comment made by someone else that made me react.

I sent him a PM to deal with it like grown men and I will now stay out of your thread.

This forum used to be a great place, going downhill each year.

Corrado this all started a couple of years ago when I asked if anyone had a transmission jack to SELL as I wanted to BUY one and did not want to borrow one as I had seen SOMEONE ask to BORROW a car jack previously.

Shortly after I was challenged on my statement (by a since banned member trying to start a confrontation)) and I replied that I found it sad and pathetic that people who have 20, 30 whatever g's into a car could not justify buying themselves a jack (the most basic of equipment) when they need one.

You challenged me to say it to your face blah blah blah.

That is my opinion and I stand by it.

You also replied that there weren't any low profile jacks to be bought for less than $200 or you would have bought one.

Subsequently when I see low profile jacks on sale - I make posts letting people know.
I always wonder how many people have acted on these posts and actually bought a jack ??

You have chosen to take my opinions as a personal insult.

To me a man is someone who is or tries to be self reliant.
So many people on here / the internet seem to lack the most basic problem solving skills.

Enuff !

I would love to go to one of these events but I just have this terrible fear of tripping and somehow scratching one of these beautiful cars.
For some silly reason every time I see an adv. for a concours event I remember those Grey Poupon commercials. There actually is one with 1 of the ppl in a Rolls putting it on a hotdog.
Qik, Conestoga put on a BBQ for us and of course served up burgers - I passed. Tmw Humber serves up pizza for lunch not sure what Georgian is doing so I should be happy again. That Belwood burger was just horrible yesterday and I'm being complimentary.

Yes I remember the Grey Poupon commercials, they were hilarious!
And I'm very easy going, except when people purposely try to push my buttons.

Under the banned Grey Poupon commercials and no this is not aimed at anyone or anything just an increcibly silly commercial.

Wow, some people certainly are quick to make subtle insulting comments yet they certainly aren't quick in their ability to properly recall events....
