Well lets see alv, I suppose that we can't call you a serial liar since
you refuse to give any details of youself (Although your answer to my
recent post could put you in that category). Massive hypocrite,
definitely, you demand from other that which you refuse to do yourself.
Monstrous fraud see serial liar. Whining coward, too cowardly to
reveal anything about yourself. And of course the major one massive
poser, which seems to be your major objective in life.

You're a loser alvey. Always have been, always will be.

I imagine Alvey gets lots, because he's a flog who thinks he's Ayrton
Senna. I also imagine Alvey would be *exactly* the type of fuckwit who
would sit *right* on your back bumper trying to intimidate people to
speed up because he wants to "drive fast" and you're in his way.

The more he posts the more he reveals what a fucking *wanker* he really
is....

Nice :)

Had a mate who used to have an old Land Cruiser that had a Cibie Super
Oscar on the back controlled with a dash mounted switch. He used to do
lots of bush bashing and firewood gathering, and it was basically a work
light. But it was also apparently brilliant for blinding fuckwits who
would try to "push", as one quick flick of the switch and they would
drop back a couple of suburbs while they waited for their eyesight to
return :)

Except the A35 AMG has pretty decent performance, 0-100 in 4.3sec and
12.9sec quarter mile is no slouch.
Don't know what model he has but the sedan version doesn't have the boy
racer add ons that the hatch models have but still it has the performance.

LOL, still happens today, you can buy exhaust by pass valves, the Torana
we fitted the 383 to has them fitted, when activated the exhaust comes
straight out just after the headers and its very loud.
Not something I would fit but the young blokes think its cool.

The green Torana has exhaust by passes fitted, sounds amazing but very
loud and of course very illegal.

All pure invention. Who was it that lost control of a Getz down a hill

So you invent a scenario for Alvey and call him a wanker then invent a
"mate" who illegally blinded people and that's all fine and dandy with you.

Of course the reality is that you invented this story.

LOL, last semi I used to drive didn't activate the brake lights with the
exhaust brake/retarder, when I got pissed off by some idiot half a metre
from the back of the trailer (only way I would know they were there was
from the shadow, couldn't actually see directly behind) I'd just
activate the retarder.
Felt a slight bump once after doing that and the tailgater backed right
off:-)
The trailer had rubber bump stops for when it was reversed up to a
loading dock so I doubt there was any damage but it sure got their
attention:-)

Rattling off a list of programming languages proves nought but OK, even
if we accept you programmed in all those languages that would mean at
one time you were very capable of both logical and abstract thought.

You display the complete opposite today. Dimwitted, poor comprehension,
illogical thought patterns etc are your norm.

So where has the other keith gone?

A few years back I had a FJ40 with an H diesel, old mate had not bothered to fit the EDIC system, so it had a bowden cable for startup fuel enrichment.
When I had a tailgater, I could pull the fuel knob and give them a bit of soot. If they persisted I would pull the cable out further until i couldn`t see them in the mirror. They usually got the idea way before that .... :)))

If there is a code the light on the dash comes on. There was no code, it
was just a simple relearn which took a couple of days to complete. As I
said in my first response.

Nah, he wouldn't even know how.

He's just continuing his attack on Alvey because his laughable theory
was wrong, as always.

Goes without saying. For one thing the set-up described by the inhabitant

stupid.

It's deeply worrying that such unbelievably stupid people are on the road.
I wonder what Dickhead Deryl would have done if he felt a solid bump and
then seen an explosion behind him? And why is this fucking half-wit *in a
semi* concerned about a *car* tail-gating him? Jaysus wept! "Fucking
half-wit" isn't strong enough. He's all yours Fraudster.

Nope. You don't get to make that decision. Especially when you're
constructing nonsense statements.

I don't "expect answers to [keith blah blah]", but I *do* expect answers to
legitimate questions concerning claims which someone makes. Whether you can
see it or not, there's a big difference there.
