Where's Poverty??
« on: April 07, 2012, 03:58:43 pm »
I don't mean in a 'putting salt in wounds' sense - but he's just gone missing completely?

If someone knows him, tell him I hope his car problems are getting sorted and I'm sure if he needs some help the forum will step up  :happy2:
Sideways yo!

He made a mess of his car ie blew the gearbox up so has not posted on the site since he did that

.
Hasn't he posted very recently in Oli's Lambo thread?

Perhaps he's only into such exotica nowadays.

EDIT: No, I'm mixing him up with cupra_k1.

Is blowing the gearbox up pretty serious then?

Very true, and I'm guessing the ramifications to other parts of the engine could be very costly too.

Well slotting the wrong cog will never be saved by a rev limiter, so it wouldn't surprise me if his bonnet is full of valves.

Poor chap.
