Smart Car Article

[Chris Thomas]

Dear Rumsters

Just to say there appears to be an imposter using my name on the internet, writing articles about SMART CARS.

Before anybody reads it I can assure you that it was not written by me. The idea of two Chris Thomas' writing about small cars does not bare thinking about.

Being considerably older that this other person, I think I have the right to use it first. Be assured I have not let you all down.

Dear Richard

I have to be very PC as an editor, otherwise I could end up upsetting one social group or another, or breaching some government guideline or another.

How did I find this article? I was allerted to it by google, along with many other american microcar related articles on the interweb. At the moment most of them relate to the Bruce Weiner auction sale that takes place in February.

As far as Jeans face appearing at the bottom of the screen. It does not do it on my computer ,so it probably only appears on Jeans computer as you suggest.

You have upset a group! By not upsetting one social group or another, or breaching some Government guideline or other. Bar Humbug! Micro sulk.

You did not think it was going to be that easy, did you?

[marcus]

Yup, I get my Facebook avatar which is one of my CD covers...a drawing of me standing up throught the roof of my Trojan and waving my ukulele. The back cover has another Heinkel product, an He 111 bomber which has just dropped a bomb, and I am about to bat it right back with said ukulele..."Howsat!"

[Big Al]

I can see this becoming a British National Party poster, with 'UKe stands alone', if their English is up to normal standards.

[marcus]

It could possibly be seen as nationalistic, but it is clearly a humorous cartoon without any political baggage. In fact it happens that the He 11 is one of my favourite planes and the H/T is one of my favourite micros!

I too think PC has gone too far. It now starts to clash with our rights to free speech. I'm not condoning inciting hatred or anything approaching that but if I disagree with a certain behavior or life style I reserve the right to say so.

So here goes. " I dont like Invalid carriages and think those that do are weirdo's!!" 

No backlash PLEASE, its a joke!!! 

[Barry]

You are right Bob, there is only one thing worse than an Invalid carriage that's an Electric Invalid carriage.............................G-wizzzz.  now that is a true invalid carriage..............................

[Grant Kearney]

Fair point Bob, but some people take things that bit too far. 
Not liking is one thing but imagine robbing an 11E  from such a fine machine as an IC to use in some other microcar thing
As member 007 of the Invalid Carriage Register and proud owner of two Model 70s I feel violated by such acts.

   Very quick to disassociate yourself from that there publication linked therein once you saw the title weren't you.    I've written for that very same publication myself now & again so no need to panic.        

[richard]

give some people an inch and they take a mile - thats the problem . i for one will not be contributing anything to a site using terms like that. you will all be very happy to here that no doubt   one step away from Fredericks - be warned .

the site should be non political , non racist, non religion and non bash the invalides
