I've just had a long text message from Phil (Steve).
Basically he has decided to take some time away from the forum due to commitments and home life priorities.
Obviously things which would normally wash over him aren't and his fuse is a little on the short side at the moment.
Hopefully he will be back when things are a little less pressured for him and with a little luck we can dig out his profile again for him when he does. :smiley:
I for one want him back to help keep you lot in check :grin:
In the meantime it is business as usual :smiley:
-
Good luck to him and home life comes first as the forum is just an escape place :tongue: to take the mind off things and a place to enjoy a bit of banter with fellow VW owners :smiley:
-
Or maybe he went out and got a Milltek and his Mrs found out and buried him under the patio... :wink:
Only joking.. He'll be back i'm sure. He'll miss us to much.. :wink:

I agree, couldn't have put it better. :smiley:

That confuses my little brain...! So his real name is Steve not Phil then!?
-
Phil is the name of his car and he is called Steve
-
OH!!! Understand now!
Cheers. :smiley:
-
wtf. obv i have missed the comments... :S bit confused
-
We all get busy every so often and dont always find time to trawl through the forums a good a place that it is - sure he wont be away for too long.
-
New mod required.. bribes accepted..
-
haha, well not sure saying that will get you what you want... or maybe it will, just not from me :shocked:
-
New mod required.. bribes accepted..
Sound a bit stressfull to me!! :wink: I take it you have to agree to devote a certain amount of time??
-
Hopefully the site will go down for a week and hey presto he's back
If he want's to stay away then my vote for the next mediocarator goes to 182

I think you'll find he's got his hands full on detailing world TC!
-
My vote would also be for 182_blue, but agree with Greenouse keeping up with with Detailing world alone can't be an easy task.
-
Those guys over on detailing world keep Blue_182 stashed away and only let him out to here on special occasions :grin: The rest of the time he's locked in a garage with cleaning stuff and one of their members drives a car in every now and then for him to detail :wink:
-
Best wishes to you and your own Phil/ Steve!
new moderator....... only one other choice if he can tear his eyes away from the vdub babes section on here.... RR! :cool:

same

Very bad. I liked his posts, and his Tornado Red was gorgeous.
I feel there has been a lot of arguing on here lately, overly strong opinions and even racism (especially against Polish imigrants.)

His final post was the one Mat quoted early, the original has now been removed.

Sorry, that Phil (Steve) has gone for the mo. Seemed a nice guy at the inters.
Family has gotta come first. But he still has the GTI, mind you he is on his third in the last year......... :wink: :evil:
-
start here
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=89439.10
hmm, doesnt seem to be a reason to give up
-
Nice guy met him at inters this year briefly, and he helped me out with my sky+ problem.I wondered why the p/m's had disappeared.
my wife gives me dogs for being on here and imo iam not on that often.
-
Feel a bit bad it was my post that tipped him, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't his reason for calling it a day. I'm pretty sure when he gets time he will be back :smiley:
-
Crazy,
ps. think my toyos are quite good :wink:
-
He He, that was my point, I'd ran them for 12 months and thought they were ok :smiley:
-
12 Months! Arr you must drive like a girl! :tongue:
-
neg will tell u I don't :laugh:, thats if I don't crash :laugh:

Your post
You can be horrible sometimes mr mccavity, what makes you say poor quality rubber, the lad might have saved hard for them tyres. Toyo's aren't a bad all round tyre, in the dry they will take some beating, in the wet they are ok and for the money they are good. Some people use them to get better clearence as they have a stretched look to the shoulder even though they are the same size, giving you a little more room. I think you can be a bit critical at times
Hardly a friendly post.
-
not sure it would have drawn blood though, I've been knocking about here a while now, and you yourself have commented and my friendly approach, there was no mallice meant, just the fact that somebody may have saved hard for the tyres and then gets a comment that there poor :smiley:
-
wouldnt worry about it Gaz
You and Phil both regulars , each able to give as good as you get.
Its obv just time for Phil to give it a rest.
Hope he comes back soon , as its the mix of people on here and the varied opinions that make its such a good forum.
-
Not worried in the slightest pal, its up to him.
This is still the most active site I know for mk5 related stuff, tryin to convince the misses at the minute a mk5 GTi is just what she needs :grin:
-
I am sure Phil (steve) will be back, it was prob "just the straw that broke the camels back", perhaps he found being a mod on here too much of a chore. I for one know I get hassle for being on here to much, perhaps Phil did too!
Hopefully he will be back with the most awesome turbo back flame spittin milltek zorst!
-
perhaps he found being a mod on here too much of a chore.
not sure about that.. rarely see anything moderated on the mkv section :huh: (not that that's a bad thing) :laugh:
-
Real shame, Met steve at GTI inters really nice bloke even let me sit in his ed30 and try out all the toys.
Hope he comes back....... :shocked:

That's the beauty of a good moderator....you never know when something has been deleted :wink:
-
We all get busy every so often and dont always find time to trawl through the forums a good a place that it is - sure he wont be away for too long.
Just like me... I love the forum but find it all a bit too much at times and have to back off otherwise I find myself posting too much :undecided:
-
....I've just found this thread.
Have met Steve aka Phil several times and really like the fella - Good guy with a friendly and honest disposition. I don't know his current problems but doubtless he will return when he's ready to.
Re Gaz's thingy with Steve/Phil - I really don't think there was a serious issue in itself at all, but merely it provided an excuse/opportunity that Steve was possibly looking for to try to tidy up his stuff (if that makes sense!). It was the spark which anyone could have unintentionally ignited at any time. I think we all know that there is no light without dark in life and sometimes things get on top of us and we have to snap or react in some way. His problems aren't our business unless he chooses to share them and I hope he knows that there's lots of us here who would offer him emotional support.
If a Moderator is needed in this Mk5 forum until he returns, I'm happy to step up to the plate as long as people would feel happy about that. I suggest they PM topher if anyone prefers I didn't. (I'm already a Moderator on Biali Motorsport so I have a little experience).
:smiley:
-
i will be back soon guys, just have lots of problems to things to sort out (outside the forum). i apprieciate all your concern by all, but i shall
return refreshed in a few weeks time or so. Be good , and look after that Moderator Seat if no one wants it lol.
Miss you all, and see you soon. :smiley:
-
That's the beauty of a good moderator....you never know when something has been deleted :wink:
In my section everybody notices!! and it seems to make them all grumpy! :laugh: :laugh:
-
Jeeez I didnt know he had gone!! Good to see hes still lurking tho... Who else am I going to banter with about the rubbish ED30??? :grin:
Hope you get things sorted Phil :wink:

Really good news :cool:
-
I hope things work out ok Steve, your family life must come before the likes of forums. If you feel able to pop along to the meet at JKM then it'd be great to see you again.
As for needing another mod I thought this place ticked along quite nicely, you wanna try dealing with some of the carp we get over on Brisky :rolleyes:
-
Its a pity to hear you are gone. :cry: But I am sure you will be back asap. I cant resist this forum and I dont even own a GTi... I dont even have a car.
Sometimes the banter on here gets a bit rough but in general we all a happy family. I vote RR as a mod if one is needed.
Phil- I will get working on your new sig so you will have it when you return :evil: :laugh:
-
Real life is way more important than a forum so no worries Steve. Shame you didn't mention anything in advance though as there is no way back from a deleted forum account - just have to start again :tongue:
:)
-
sorry to see you go pal. :sad: and hope to see you back here soon. :smiley:
oh and i really do not think that gazs comment made phil leave :smiley:

dude...you should try nonsense...never seen so many fcuking dummies..
Totally agree with Phil, sometimes you really do just get p!ssed off and need a break..maybs (if your readin this phil) don't delete your account, mull it over and take a break if ever you come back and it gets on top of you... :smiley:
so cmon RR...you the next mod? :smiley:
Oh btw..you mk5 guys are terrible!! The poor lad has only been a mod for a couple of weeks and you have ran him out!! Stick to your section you bloodhounds... :evil: :laugh:
Dinx :kiss:
-
better to walk away and be able to return than get banned :wink: hope life sorts itself out
All the best stve / phil - hope to still meet up at the RR day in october :afro:
-
so cmon RR...you the next mod? :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
....Well, I have said that I'm more than happy to step up to the plate if one is needed in the Mk5 zone.
Hang on! Don't they need a new mod in the nonsense zone? :wink: [So, that's the end of me everywhere then!]

Glad to see you back Phil. :smiley:

-
Yaaaaay :cool:
I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away for too long :smiley:
-
welcome back Phil or is it Steve? :smiley:
-
its only been just over a week ,and just couldnt stop the temptation!!. Looks like loads have been happening whilst ive been away.i feel like a kiddie in a sweet shop with all these NEW topics!!. (Time for a beer) nice evenings worth of reading :wink:
-
Its Steve finlay, but because their were too many steves already listed as members, i would of been yet another steve with another initial!.
Phil Mcavity was abit of a joke name on xbox 360 many years ago so hense the name has stuck somewhat
-
gotcha and of course I already know the lovely Philliss! :smiley:
-
im hopefully Gulfstream has managed to produce the name plaque of "phylis" whilst ive been away for the dashboard silver trim!.Once ive hit the magical 10 posts, i'll Pm him!!
-
I thoght you were having it engraved in the original trim to the left of the SW?
-
Thats right, he's making something that will fit in its place nxt to the steering wheel and centre console. Gulfs in charge of the design, not sure what hes come up with as yet.
-
sounds, exiting, well impressed with the quality of the footrest I got from Gulf.
What about this milltek then Steve? I really want one too, but am having trouble justifying it to myself, as there is bugger all wrong with ma standard fit one!
Also all the dilema, res or non! any movement on yours?
-
No, the fire has gone out about the milltek, im looking to purchase another VW instead as a runner for the wife.
I would go for the Non Res tbh, as the Res version isnt much difference in sound to a well used standard exhaust .Non res isnt loud at all,
not too obtrusive in the cabin either, apart from others have said alittle boomey at certain speeds but soon wears off after a few miles.
-
Welcome back mate, :smiley:
The place hasn't been the same without you. Or Phyliss. :wink:
