We've only got half the story here. As I stated in my original post it seems strange they would reject your entry so it would be interesting to get the whole story.

I would suggest though that using a rant as your entrance to the forum is not going to win you a lot of sympathy here.

We are all passionate about our cars and the hobby. This is one of the friendliest forums I've ever been on. People are by and large very accepting and not judgmental and we have a very broad cross section of people on here.

In your first post you've basically said "put your sunnies on fellas, I'm about to bend over" and then gone on to say "I'm too cool, for you turkeys". Are you expecting us to swoon like teenage girls when The Beatles walk on stage? " Ohh He's dreamy, please sign my man boobs"

You are probably not going to make to many friends on here with that attitude. There are plenty of successful folks on here that don't feel the need to announce it to the world. Look at me for example. Not may people know I was Goulburn Valley under 25 Champion of Champions in full bore rifle target shooting and I've got a plastic trophy and everything (I won't mention that only one other bloke turned up to the final).

If you want to put the ego aside and get to know people on here you will find a really nice bunch of fellow car enthusiasts. I'm sure we would all be interested to learn more about your car and what you have done with it. You might even learn a few things from the folks on here and make some new friends. I've made some great friends on here.

Just sayin...
