Enough,
This crap does not belong here on the list. Just like the NASS, gas
pricing, etc. that cause other list members to leave the list. Certain
people in the past including Laura and myself have made some comments that
can leave them susceptible to some backlash. This is the real world!
Furthermore, if someone wants to address an issue like this address it
directly with parties involved not the list.
Laura had requested and, rightfully so, that all replies to her message be
sent to her off the list. Like Laura I request the same. Please honor this
request and save the hassle and aggravation of unnecessary mail being sent
to the other members.

I have had a very interesting-if negative-exchange of emails tonight with
someone you all know. It has been brought to my attention that, well for
lack of better words, I am being laughed at behind my back for statements
that I have made about my car. And that if I want to rectify matters, I
should take part in the autocross at Triumphest. (Even though I don't care
at all for autocross.)
Furthermore, it has been brought to my attention that many of you who are
snickering at me behind my back because there is a feeling that I am the
guillible victim of Dave.
All I can say is that friends who have driven Nigel have found that what I
have told them to be true. And total strangers I have met locally at shows
also find it to be true. And if Dave is such a shister, victimizing me-why I
have I never paid for a car repair? Why has he been a good friend to me?
(And no, I am not sleeping with him.) All I can say is that there is a list
of people from my club who have met the man, seen his work (other than
Nigel) and are very impressed. If he should ever take outside work, he
shan't have any problem!
Now, it has been suggested that the people I have met who felt this
way -either from the Spitfire list or independently of the Spitfire list
have said they were impressed to curry friendship with me and/or didn't know
anything to begin with. I would like to believe that the friendship and
comraderie was genuine. The knowledge, I am certain of.
I will not be goaded into a competition-especially a competition I don't
enjoy participating in (autocross.)
I came here on this List because of 20 year love affair I've had with
Spitfires-(32 years, if you count that I saw my first Spitfire at 9 years
old and have followed them ever since.) To find other of like minds. I
didn't come here to be insulted and to have my friends insulted.
I am vastly hurt at the thought that people I had come to regard as
friends-even through email-would be snickering at me behind my back; would
merely be saying,'Yes, nice car!' to curry my friendship. I cannot say
someplace where it has been made painfully obvious people are so
disrespectful-and where I would have to take everything from here on out
with a grain a salt i.e.-'is so and so saying this nice thing because he's
sucking up but is really snickering at me with other listers behind my
back?' I have enough stress and health problems in my life.
Thank you all for your kind help. I wish you all the best. Anyone who would
wish to contact me off the list is welcome to-but, I won't be subscribing
anymore.
To those who've been kind and sincere-thank you. I do hope we might continue
off list. For those of you who have been insincere and snickering behind my
back-and I am told there's quite a few-you know who you are-and shame on
you.
