    It's not often I close a thread.

    It's even less often I kick people to the curb.

    Paul ............. Your an idiot ............. I mean it's not like you have taken apart a mini or two. I mean all the way down to the shell. Now have you? Or have you ever turned an auto in to a manual? Well I bet you have never reprogrammed an ECU or had to figure out what pens go where because you were transplanting the guts of a GP in to a convertible. Your just clueless.
    Now if you could just be as smart as mjlwiter. He is a engineer. He so above us but way over your head Paul. I mean you have to really be smart to not be able to figure out a OIL FILTER!!

    Mjlwriter your an insulting twit! People here were trying to help. If your so dam smart you could have figured this out but your couldn't. If you had read any of Pauls threads you would know he is someone worth some respect.
    MOTOR ON! Twit

    Ok, so when it was all said and done, you took Paul's advice.

    Got it.

    Dogshit, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

    As for Newtons, yes, we are big fans of figs. Einstien's makes some reasonably good bagels. I'm not sure why the reference to Testas, unless it's a Freudian slip reference to testicles. Most of us here prefer the term "mountain oysters", but you're new here so we'll let it slide.

    Or it could simply represent a misspelling of Tesla, which is kind of funny when you think about it, calling us all out for our general lack of intelligence. It's something we're already aware of; pointing it out is redundant, although it's always flattering to be recognized.

    Between the Cheech and Chong video and the other lip syncing version of a song with no words, we're doing better culturally in this thread than in most. Although we do have that Russian dash cam thread where the guy hits the fornicating cows in the middle of the road, that's some pretty high brow stuff right there.

    Look man, you're going to have to tone it down, we have a long running thing going on here to see who can be the biggest a$$hat and you're setting the bar impossibly high for the rest of us. DaveO is getting depressed, I know I am.

    Um, yes, you did what Paul (and others) recommended.

    Look, you can go after anyone you want on here, but going after Paul isn't going to get you very far. He's got probably the most followed thread on here, and has built/rebuilt his MINI more times than anyone can count. And you learn a certain amount through doing that; not only how to do it, but where to find out how to do it.

    But you did give him a nice new nickname which I won't hesitate to use in the future, so there's that.

    A classic bit.

    We really need to change the name of this thread to "Good thing we didn't step in it."

    To be fair, guys, I didn't figure this one out. I just quoted what Way and (IIRC) Helix said they had learned through direct experimentation. Which was in the linked threads that were worthless to engineers with mad reading comprehension skillz and lead poisoning.

    So, if they were both wrong, I guess that's possible. But doesn't happen often.

    What an over inflated perspective of your worth you have "dude". 17 posts into our culture and you're so much smarter than everyone. Your disrespect for others, particularly Nathan, is well noted. I see you haven't made any friends yet, and, you won't... I'm think'n it's time you bail on M/A and :mtrn:.

    There, thats my .02. BAM.

    You've got to give him some credit though, he's soon to have a 100% ratio of threads started to threads locked. There is something to be said for that.

    Who pissed in your Cheerios ?

    Your question was asked and answered.

    You didn't like the responses. Ok, fine. Spend your money as you see fit.

    If you don't like it here, go.

    But you seem to like baiting people into sparring with you. You weren't a guy named Genik in the past were you?

    The ignore feature is such bliss in times like these. Thanks, Nathan! :beer
