hmmm maybe he should have said he wasn't a hoon, maybe you should've asked about his driving style first before making 'ass' umptions and therefore giving useless advice and provoking a fight. Myself and others might've reacted exactly the same way as Jared if someone just assumed we were driving like dickheads and this was the cause for our car trouble. I am sure you would not have taken it well.
As you and others keep saying this is a sight devoted to enthusiasts who like to talk about their hobby etc. Lets do this rather than wasting people's time with garbage such as verbal abuse and petty sarcastic comments designed to provoke a rebuttal rather than defuse the situation.
All the best all.

Jared.
You never said you wasn't a hoon remember that.
And to go through 4 in no time at all there had to be a problem somewhere.
As enthusiast we can some times be a little rough with their toys I took it as maybee you were aswell.
But hea I was mistaken.
I have never has a 1600 break a thing in all the years I have owned them and I am deffinatly not gentle with them.
As I have never had any of your problems I couldn't give any advice on rearbushes being stuffed.
The only advice I had to give you was to adjust your driving style and I get told to stay out of it and get called a tool.
It is deffinatly a good way to get any information I may have to give out in the future.
Later.
