Honest John Website = Crap.

[Pimpster]

In relation to a recent thread whereby golfvr6 said the Honest John website was not good and all the people on there are pricks (sorry experts) I have to agree.

I've been reading threads and they are unbelievably the most boring, turdfaced, arrogant nobbers i've ever had the misfortune to read about.

One guy got slaughtered coz he asked about chipping his VR6 (probably you golf vr6!!!) but i think he was joking and they all went off their heads about speed and that you shouldnt break law as it immoral blah blah blah. They all love citroens and rubbish cars that they can get a great deal on (no matter if the cars rubbish, they just want to save money no matter if it'll shed depreciation like mad). They're all about 45 with zero sense of humour and are just unbelievably dick-like.

There was this absolute mad b!tch who thought the Toyota Yaris was cool and went on like a mad surbuban mum about how precious her daughter was but no one cares. I have NEVER seen a car website like it.

And their moderators are unbelievable - this one called Mark RLBS is one massive power tripping prick. The GolfGTI moderators are fantastic in comparison.

You might want to check it out but you'll probably fall asleep reading all the dull arse responses these nobs go on about.

sorry rant over but it is an unbelievably dull forum......

Thank god someone else agrees with me!

Mark RLBS Is a complete nobjockey. He's a real power tripper and cuts posts to bits and acts like he's an internet policeman. Total power tripper. And if you do disagree with them (even on motoring points)  they take your objection post off the thread - unbelievable! He's jsut put a post on about not knowing that a TT has a 3.2 engine now- what? call yourself knowledgeable. where have you been.

You are right about them knowing f*** all about cars. They never say what they do for a living or what their experience is but they put stuff down like they're real experts - 30 years reading haynes manuals is so true.

They even put some crap on that we should click on the adverts or lose the site. Well screw that. Honest John writes books and columns in mags and papers and makes a wedge of cash and probably more off of the website and they want us to look at ads for rip off car supermarkets to make them more money. I just dont get what they think they offer that is so good.

They're all like 45 years old, act like they never go over 70 (which of course i dont  ) and are really knowledgeable. For an insight into how interesting they are here is a couple of current post subjects:

Jaguar Diesel Estate
Easy to stall Mondeo TDCI
Sirens at night
Opinion of Ford Ka Please

Shall i go on. Oh no i cant. i just fell asleep.....


So much for Honest John with that garage recommendation. Sounds crap. Glad we can be honest on here about bad service we receive.

Go to honest john. learn about middleclass, boring people, buying Citroen Berlingos. But dont disagree with the moderators.....


Please keep this thread going so people can learn about what a bad website is.

[Pimpster]

Yes the moderators on here are good people and realistic. This thread would have been pulled long time ago on that site because we used 'naughty words' and said we didnt like the moderators. Well on Honest John, as Davina says - dont say f*** or b*****!

Its so clique - like a lawn bowling club got together and all just agree with each other whilst going on about dull cars that no one cares about. I laugh especially loud when you get really dumb people post threads about getting cheap insurance and they tell them to use Direct Line or some other company that will charge anyone under 21 a fortune for insurance. When will these people learn.

And theres more to this rant. Oh yes. Theres more.

Firstly, someone put a thread on there that they thought their advice was so good that reckoned people should make doantions to them for the advice!!!! WHAT?!?! i thought thats what is so good about this site. free advice for like minded people. in fact thats what the internet is for.

secondly, they all go on about how garages are crap and that they wish they got better service, but when someone has bad service they dont allow you to say what garage it was in case they get sued (like some crappy main dealer is going to a. know about the website having its name mentioned as being bad. and b. even bother). So all people do is carry on using bad garages coz no ones got the balls to say what garage is really bad. Well done. really helped everyone there!! Very Honest. John. Not.

3. This is how dull they are. recent thread from some guy about what would you buy if you won the lottery. fair do's. Loads of responses tho about wanting to buy Citroen DS and 1930's MG's ?? what. buy a Pagani, or a Ferrari or something. You might actually live a little.


4. eMBe. What a tard.

Any more golfvr6?!!

[Pimpster]

www.honestjohn.co.uk.  the back room, under discussion.

have a look. you'll laugh so much your balls will ache...

[old_boy]

Oh yeah!
Is it me, or does that guy look like Dave Angel-Eco warrior, of Fast Show fame?
I found the thread about the stalling Mondeo really interezzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[Pimpster]

Yeah i have written, but i just love disagreeing and watch them all go mental and tell me how disgusting and immoral i am to advocate using my car for fun rather than to get the most mpg from or to carry rubbish to the tip on a sunday. They are so dull.

I read something about them all meeting up. Bloody hell, i'd rather slash my wrists. I dont think there will be enough coat hooks for all the anoraks....

Honest John - So Honest he put his car on there for sale but it was so overpriced he had to drop the price by a grand....

So golfvr6 - who are your most hated members? Mine are Mark RLBS - a complete wanka. The biggest power tripping moderator i have ever seen. thinks its his site.
eMBe- tard. thats all i can say. tard.
Hootie. some chick who thinks she has all this experience coz she spent 10 minutes researching what s***e car to buy for her spoilt daughter and chose a yaris- a complete pile of cack. Now shes some queen of cars. And all she does is talk about herself - on every post.

In fact any other nobber on there who has a name that makes them think they're wacky or zany but are really dull, suburban, middle age, never have been's who think doing 82mph on the m1 at 1am is naughty, and who have to eat a bag of pork crackling with half a bitter whilst talking about the merits of diesel mondeo's versus the practicality of the citroen berlingo.

Can you tell how much i dislike em?

p.s I think i'll start a website called www.honestjohnswebsiteisfulloftards.com and just list hte most annoying people. Try and remove that Mark (RLBSwanka)

[stoat]

Any one who doesnt own a VW must be a to$$er. Ill be loging onto that sight in a bit to abuse them ha ha

[Pimpster]

Childish - i like it!

Dynamic Dave- How Dynamic is he ?!?! Does  he dynamically bore the crap out of people, or dynamically drive a really crap car? I dunno. you tell me.

And Mark RLBS- what does RLBS stand for- Real Life Bull S****er? or maybe Really Lonely Boring and Sad.

Put grease on a V belt
You are joking aren't you  

[richandhazel]

Trouble is there are people out there that will read that and follow the advice..........at their peril. It'll be grease on brake discs next to prevent squealing.  

Dave Lacey writes:-

Are you sure it's not the cambelt whining?

Try a dab of grease on the running surface of the alternator belt, that might quieten it
 
and then:-
 
.....but the dab of grease trick works in the real world and is fairly easy to administer; aiming an aerosol spray in the confined area of a belt run is sometimes very tricky!

What a prat!!!

Go on to the honest john site, technical matter and then site search, and put in :- VW Golf, Alternator Belt Tension?

Go on go and have a look and tell me what pricks (sorry experts) these people are.
