1st Gen R50 Cooper Regarding my thread below (Dilemma regarding oil cap cage...)

Don't think the thread is dog sh*t... Remember, hoss, stupid is as stupid does. In other words, my question was legit. Unfortunately, not one of the "experts" who chimed in had a solid answer. Typical answers: 1) check out this link (did not provide an answer). 2) Uh, install new housing and cap (didn't ask you how I should spend my money and time. 3) Hmmm, not really sure (then why'd you post, genius?). 4) Grimey: "your question has been answered (no, it hadn't, Grimey) so stop posting." 5) Gnat: "I'm aligning myself with my "close friend," Grimey, and shutting down the thread." Troll? Uh, ok. Guess I won't seek out information here, lest I be accused of being a troll. Very droll...

Great exchange of information ... not! A crew of Newtons, Einsteins, and Testas, you're not! Purveyors of Cheech & Chong clips, songs, and videos. Yes, quite proficient at that... :ihih::ihih::ihih:

 

See below ...

 

Grimey

Of course I bought it, Grimey. And I discounted the California Proposition notation, just like I discounted you. I don't think your attempt at sarcasm, or whatever you were attempting, helped build the integrity you feel you have. We should actually all be mindful of handling items which contain lead or any other element that can leach into our bloodstream. You, evidently, don't care about these matters and might actually be a future candidate for cancer. Party on!

I consider this ALL closed. Thank you for making it so easy to make you look so bad! You may be a legend on this site, but I think you're actually a legend in your own mind.

Be well, Grimey!

 

If I asked for your 2 cents, I would've had to loan you 2 cents. I don't think you've read Grimey's latest post, where he admits to having merely copy/pasted someone else's perspective on the question I asked. And, no, IQ = 05, the question was merely asked ... never answered. And you are in no position to tell anyone to "go." If that is what YOU want to do, go for it. Perhaps there's a steep cliff near where you live. Go fer it, dude!

And I don't bait, hoss. I respond. In this case, I responded to Grimey's inability or unwillingness to supply a cogent answer to MY question. Remember, as Dean Wormer said, "Fat and stupid is no way to go through life."

Perhaps this Genik fella is the dad that left you guys when you were a wee pup! Not me, big guy...

 

Poor MC02. Is that how you come to the defense of Grimey! Who here hasn't done voluminous repairs and modifications to his/her (latter in your case) MINI? Well, maybe you. Did you ever figure out how to remove that dried on gum from your dashboard? Grimey's prowess under the hood/vehicle is NOT the point, dummy... "Insulting twit," you call me. Yes, I guess I may have insulted poor Grimey, and now you, too. Tit for tat, hoss. But "twit"? Don't think so... But you do have your opinion. We do live in America, where everyone is free to show their ignorance. Congrats, you've now shown yours... Your typos and poor command of the English language lower your credibility beyond that which necessitates a response, but you get one nonetheless -- as charity. It'll be the last...

As for figuring this oil cap cage situation out for myself, I figured this is what this site is for. There is very good information here and other sites on the Internet dedicated to the best car ever made... Besides, it is only one with empirical information that could give me a definitive answer. Grimey was evidently NOT that person! That is why I engaged in the post. Grimey's responses were worse than being wrong, they were misleading and inconclusive ... and finally, indignant. Worse, he copy/pasted incomplete material from another site. I had already seen the information and informed him so... I never offended him to that point, but when he insisted my question was answered -- it certainly was not -- and then got belligerent, I felt it necessary to correct him. And that I did! And now the same applies to you, twit to the third power. You, too, have been corrected!

 

More ambiguous commentary from Grimey. You REALLY would think that after I point out how and why you created this mess, you'd type (real slowly, in your case) something that actually made a conclusive point.

At least you admit you "didn't figure this one out." What DID you figure out in the past? And did anyone ever try to determine how much of what you recommended was your own advice or simply copy/pasted. You are a hack, brother. I can smell one a mile away. I couldn't care if you posted 15,000 posts here and were endorsed by MINI USA, I'd still call you a hack who "didn't figure this one out." All else being considered, to any logical person reading your latest post, they'll conclude, "What the eff is this boob talking about? He must be handling lead without any protective gloves." Grimey, good luck to ya. To the rest of your protective cronies, you are very loyal to Grimey and that is good. He needs your vote of confidence. :wink:

 

Think you might've just surpassed me? Whaddya think, laddy buck?

 

You do that, bro. Remember the barrel goes in a direction 180 degrees away from your face.
