Steve's Dream Machine

WOW!
I am surprised at you, than to think you had so little self respect as to engage in that kind of vulgar behavior...!! You should be ashamed of yourself ! I am really surprised that you would stoop so low, in your Bloody Chevy Banter, to lower yourself to such common vulgarity. You should go hide your face.

BUT HERE IS THE REAL TRUTH ON THE ALLISON... As a matter of fact, the F-650 does have a Catepilar engine and Allison Transmission. And I am getting a bit sick of the silly banter pushing things to the extreme as it takes all the fun out of it.. Your bloody Allison is not what it is cracked up to be. In my over a year of Research, 458 Posts on one Forum alone, and I even contacted Transmission shops, while the top engine of all the big 3 is the Cummins, without a doubt; the top Transmission is the Ford 5R100 Transmission NOT YOUR BLOODY ALLISON! Chevy does not rate in the top engine or transmission now. Several Transmission Shops have sent full transmissions and kits out for the Dodges and the Chevrolets, AND NONE FOR THE CURRENT AMERICAN 5R100 Torqueshift Transmission. Three Ford Techies had never even seen one in their Shop. That is the facts.

Now you can carry on all you want, like some kind of a Chevrolet Dealer or something, but you take all the fun out of the Chevy Ford Banter when you cluck on this much.. And this latest stoop to vulgarity on the BOG Forum should have been beneath you.

I am really very much surprised in you, and that a man of your stature would belittle himself to lower to such petty depths. You take the fun out of Chevy Ford Banter.

Ranger...........One Riot, one Ranger

Now calm down Steve and give this some due consideration.

If the Allison tranny is not so good why have Ford chosen to fit it to the new F series Super Trucks behind the Caterpillar engine in favour of their own 5R100 Torqueshift Transmission?
Gotta be a reason for Ford to buy a product from the General.

Seems the Torqueshift only goes behind the smaller motor options.

I want the RED one

We saw the F650 a couple of weeks ago with the horse float on. Looked like a good set up.

Boy some people get very sensitive about some subjects.

Brian

I guess continuing to take the piss out of someone when you KNOW that the subject is sensitive rates up there with "fair go", "dinky di", and "stirring the pot".

Bob, nothing you are doing should surprise anyone - you in your "fair go" way set me up before you ever met me; Brian, you surprise me jumping into this crap.

Probably best to put a cap on this before someone says something regrettable...

I must admit I found it to be well within the rage of car sledging as goes on between Holden and Ford....sort of like what takes place on the cricket field between the Aussies and the Poms...full on sledging on the field...best of mates away from the field.

all the best to all for Xmas and New Year

I have a saying "This is Australia - Land of stick up ya Mates" be it Holden / Ford / Chev whatever it's all good fun to take the piss out of your friends.

Merry Christmas All

Gee, I wonder what a qualified psychiatrist would say about a personality that believes:

"This is Australia - Land of stick up ya Mates" be it Holden / Ford / Chev whatever it's all good fun to take the piss out of your friends."

And when you know your "friend" is not finding it funny and instead is getting very upset you continue

"to take the piss out of your friends."

It is a strange definition of friendship that includes sticking in the knife and when your friend says it hurts you keep turning the knife because you think that is funny and when challenged about your actions you hide behind a concept of "taking the piss out of your friends" because lets face it, thats what "dinky di" Australians are taught to do by their "dinky di" fathers who also found it funny to kick someone when they were upset.

Its kinda of like road runner cartoons and Australia's Greatest Home Videos - the more the victim is hurt the funnier some people find the activity.

Personally, I find it sick.

Happy Holidays

Jay

PS: Don't waste your time telling me to lighten up as that is simply a way of avoiding addressing the issue. In this case, when is enough enough?

Hello Bushtrackers.
I am a new member here and have never posted before but I have been reading your site for a long time.
Never thought that I had anything to say before now and this message has taken some putting together.

It seems that you have an active committee dedicated to the site and a lot of positive contributors, I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge reading these posts, just wish that I was an owner so that I could read the other messages.

What has prompted me to put this message together is the recent postings by Jay.
I have never met him but from messages I gather that he is an American lawyer moved to this country.

That may well be an explanation for the style of posting that Jay seems to specialise in.
I do not believe that it is a valid excuse for his behaviour or the style of language he has chosen to use in his posts.
Correct me if I am wrong and remember that I am unable to read the owners messages, but has Jay ever made a positive post, one that is designed to give assistance to others, a post that will one day assist another member who may gain from it.

The only posts from Jay that I have seen are inflammatory, seemingly designed to inflame others.
The posts above are a very good example of my point.

Turist has made a quip that has given some offence to Steve. (Got to say, don’t see anything wrong with it, old joke and part of the Chev/Ford debate they been having)
The heat was going out of the situation when in comes Jay and throws a bucket of fuel on the simmering fire.
Why?
A few more members put some water on the fire and cool it off again but guess what?
Jay tosses on more fuel.
Why?

“Taking the piss”, Jay’s words, not mine, a crude description of a type of friendly banter very common between blokes over a beer. (Not guys having a cocktail.)
It is a part of our culture here Jay, wether you like it or not.
What seems to be part of your culture is what can only be called “ bleep stirring”
You seem to be an expert in the art, most times your timing is immaculate, you intercede when not required simply to inflame an issue.
You have made a number of derogatory comments about the lifestyle that we have here.
If you find it so offensive what are you doing here?

And yes, “Dinki Di” and other euphemisms are still used here but you would not appreciate the true meanings. And you probably never will.

And remember, Road Runner is a yank cartoon show and Australia's Greatest Home Video a copy of a second rate yank show, just some more of the crap you lot are pushing on us.

In closing I ask, has the committee power to reprimand a member for posting messages designed to inflame what are otherwise small arguments between members.

Just hate escapees from a second rate lifestyle knocking what we have here.

Nurtzy

[quote]I ask again and I wonder if anyone has an appropriate answer: when is enough enough? [/quote]

I'd say about now ;-)

Forgot to add the 2nd part of my saying,

"Aust land of stick it up ya mates, and where a sense of humour is essential"

whoo hoo 2 sleeps to go and i get to open the bottle of JW Green Label Scotch [15 year]
