i think the name of qualified grease monkey is misleading to people who mite be new on here and expect that they are qualified mechanics or something , maybe a slight change is in order ? :?

I carry it ... Voted!! Make the change now boys :wink:

(or Ringmaster) :P

:lol:

I see 'some" (Sweeping generalisation) of you are taking this seriously. Have you not figured out this is for fun, just a game. None of this needs to qualified, quantified or justified. This is here for your amusment no other reason. It's a forum title not your job title :lol: :lol:
And any new people will soon see that Toyspeed isn't serious. If you want serious go to the tech section and stay there. There rest is like a three ring circus... for your entertainment :wink:


This is great. I'm rapt to see an Admin with a fantastic sense of humour. *take hat off to the person* Next years TS Legend :mrgreen:

i agree it can be kinda missleading... maybe we should vote on some qualified grease monkeys and have different titles for regular posters...

I'm not THAT much of a forum whore am I? :?

Then again, the only other person I've seen with that so far is Pies...


Thats because one with the required number of posts has been banned for 6 months, another 3 have titles which override it and the other 2 don't post very often :wink:

Great. So in other words, I'm a whore without even trying! :cry:
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

OK HERE IT IS...

The Ultimate Toyspeed Auction Fundraiser!! :mrgreen:



http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=61994812

The fine print - please read before you bid
Please note that all funds raised will directly benefit the Toyspeed account and not any one person from Toyspeed. You must also note that your choice of name can not be offensive or go against any of the Toyspeed rules and regulations. Even with your 'special' title you will not be exempt from disciplinary action if your behaviour falls into the misconduct category. All funds raised will go to Toyspeed (except for success fee of this auction) and each title/status change you request will incur a fee unless you are going back to the standard formatted title/status list.

And most of all this is here for fun and to raise funds for our club, this is not a right and the offer may be removed at any time with out reason as the Administration see fit (or when Toyspeed wins lotto - yeah right!)

I've got plenty of love :D *shows Chickenman some lurve*

But when someone mentions a nasty word like Rape, I'd rather not have that in one of my auctions thanks ... joke or not.

Wooo, I just looked and someone has bid, already ... Nice :)
