Talking nonsense and general waffle

Stu is the founder of this enterprise and I came along later - too late to be a founding guard. Interestingly enough, Stu's member number is 8, not 1, and he has no real explanation of why .

do you know the full story on how it all came about, was it just a passion project

Let's just say that Stu is a billionaire that owns a British/German/French auto company specializing in BMW-powered off-road vehicles. He also enjoys sailing, the Manchester football scene, and a certain pub in Belgravia.

That said, we're in the process of revisiting and rebooting the podcast and I think the backstory would be a perfect kick off. I'll suggest the idea to Sir J.... oh, I mean @Stu_Barnes

It would be interesting to hear it all.

I assumed you were involved because of the podcast thing.

How did Tazz get a founding guard banner

That banner is for those that joined the community before INEOS went live with the video cast reveal and opened the initial reservation books.

There’s a good handful of founding guard members.

And Stu & Kraabby, did they set all this up or was it just Stu?

What are trophy points on our profiles and why is there a.+/-score?

They're for a system that awards trophies for certain achievements, number of posts, number of solutions to problems, uploads etc.

We don't have that activated.

I'm stuffed then, I'll never figure any problems out, still trying to get a light to work of one of the aux sockets for reversing. Got myself a curcuit tester today so fingers crossed it works soon. I'm thinking a fuse may have gone as I did get it to light up once. My only hope is the photo competition

Looking good for this month!

Anyone know what's happened to Dual Grenny Guy. All his posts say deleted member
I thought he had gone quiet after Christmas as he was on a lot beforehand and was a lifetime supporter if i remember rightly.
He had 2 of them and was planning to get a QM, but he did also seem to have a lot of other vehicles, and guns. Maybe just moved on to his next obsession. Just a shame to lose an active member.

He’s gone?! I really liked and appreciated him. He was open about sharing his opinions and I respected that. I suppose I saw a few things here or there that were a little contentious but nothing that went way too far.

I hope he left by choice. I would be incredibly disappointed if the forum banned him unless the offense was egregious enough to warrant a ban. I’m a Mod on a forum and I believe most things can be worked out, hopefully.

He did seem to love his Grenadiers and was very positive towards them, disliking any negativity.
Can't argue with any of your comments but then a lot of us could be fitted into the contentious category, I mean you and your fofo stuff or whatever you call it
Joking aside, just a shame that someone who genuinely loves the vehicles would leave after being so involved.

Probably just got fed up with it. Better things to do. I bet he’s still reading though.

I had to look that up i thought you Aussies weren't supposed to be educated, especially the more remote you were. I'm English and therefore superior
Brings to mind the old b&w class sketch with Ronnie Corbet, Ronnie Barker & john Cleese

He definitely knows too much to be an Australian.

If you reach you limit on direct messages does it rest monthly?

No chance, don't like to be known. This ineos forum is unusual for me

 

[ADVAW8S]

He is still around in other media. Currently going HAM on people on YouTube and Reddit. I only know this because he starts most arguments or complements with I have two and a QM on order.

That's definitely him.
What does HAM mean? I'm not down with the kids so do struggle with everyone's abbreviations!
