1) Quite.
2)Cyprus?
3) ROM (Read Only Member)
He's large as life and still helping others and I'm sure if he reads this he'll be in touch.
How I missed that thread in Hellfire Steves link I have no idea 
Sorry but Locostbuilders is a better place without Calvinix, I actualy don't doubt he's a great guy in real life and I have a sneaking
suspicion we would actualy get on rather well if I met him - but he was a childish kn*b on here (as anyone who got one of his 'my dad is bigger
than your dad' type U2Us will know) and having nothing better to do with his life than deleting all his postings speaks volumes.....
well all i can say is mark is a good person and he speaks what he thinks and i have no problem with that he is a dam fine pal nuff said 
Having met Mark on a few occasion I have to say he is good bloke, always willing to help a fellow locost builder (even one building a MK).
Later
Scott
I'm getting a tear in my eye as we speak. Oh sorry, that's from the open window beside my computer desk - allergies.
A bit of a Marmite character I think 
He has been posting again recently, but then deletes his posts (and even his avatar) straight away ...... which probably says a lot about his
personality. I think he has personal issues which need to be sorted.

Ooooh I think I hit a nerve
Good to see you are up to your usual, backbiting standard Calvin 
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=74663
Quick, before he deletes it!

Screen capture... kind of says it all. Probably not the best way to promote your services.

To be fair, I have deleted old posts of my own too.
However.
That's because I realised I was talking what is known in thes part as 'pish'.
I do tend to think that there's a difference between that and having a pram / toys interface scenario.

Razman.
Now we have a tricky one for Mr CalvinX.
Up till now he has deleted all his posts, but you have stated above that he will do it again.
Does he delete like you said he would, or does he leave it there because you said he would delete it ?
Mmm, tricky.
(Watches U2U box for action)
Yes, I wonder
There is a certain irony to note that he has always been very quick to threaten his adversaries (as he obviously sees them anyway) with legal action /
lynching / public execution etc in the past ...... but am I right in thinking that you need permission to publish other people's photographs in
your adverts? That must surely amount to abuse of a trader's contract among other things ..... don't you think?
Hmmmmm ..... what should I do now then
[Edited on 23-9-07 by RazMan]
dont know the bloke, but seen pics of his car, and heard of him helping.
Seems a shame people can't let bygones be bygones TBH.
I've seen many forums deterioate into bitchy messes, full of point scoring rubbish. I hope this one full of mature types will hopefully know
better.

Hello
Thank you for pointing out that I need permission to use photos in an advert.
You are quite correct in this assumption and seeing as I took the photograph in question there is NO problem with me using an image obtained with my own imaging equipment.
These images were only obtained AFTER I requested YOUR permission to take photographs (in front of a witness)you FREELY agreed.
many thanks for your co-operation
He has changed it now

(EDIT)
To clear up any confusion the photograph below was taken by myself, only after obtaining permission to take photographs of the vehicle in question from the owner.
Dearie dearie me...
One thing I try NEVER to do is to slag someone's pride and joy off in a public forum, no matter what I think of it personally. (but I have a huge
amount of respect for Razman's work).
Even if I wanted to, I would NEVER do it in an area where other forum members are not permitted to respond.
Just another example of someone's lack of respect for other people...
David
Does that screenshot violate Calvinx's copyright? Or because he copryrighted it after the screen shot does that make it ok?
If so If I copy the screen shot would that be ok? For that matter would I or anyone else want to?
Is this thread about cars?

we should get X a tv show, would be better than springer.

Oooh yes, so can you sort out my stone chips then?
Here's a picture of one of the chips for your reference - disgusting bit of workmanship it is too. Whoever painted it ought to be shot or flogged
or something else that you can dream up.
[img][/img]
I'll even give you permission to use it in another ad if you like - in fact, if you like I'm sure I can find all sorts of blemishes like
that trolley scrape I got at Asda's last month and the kerb scrape that happened when putting the car on the trailer for SVA so with any luck you
can probably launch a full-on advertising campaign! Knock yourself out I actually can't believe you actually went to the trouble of putting a
copyright statement on that picture - how pathetic is that! Oh and although your legal situation is, at best, questionable regarding use of my
car's picture as an example of implied bad workmanship, I really can't be bothered decend to your level and take legal action - that would
be just plain ridiculous and I have far better things to do with my life than take you to court (even a Cyprus one)
Oh and just to put the record straight, the implied bad paint job is ACTUALLY some mechanical damage suffered to my roof section when one of the
windows flew open at 85mph ...... on private roads of course officer (silly me forgot to fasten the catch properly) so it just goes to show that
you really need to be sure of the facts of a situation before you make any accusations or imply that workmanship is sub standard. Get the facts wrong
and you just make yourself look like a complete idiot.
My car is no trailer queen - its my daily driver, having done over 10K miles in 10 months you tend to pick up the odd scratch and ding - I accept that
fact but it seems not everybody can ... ah well, each to their own standards I guess - so live with it. Oh I forgot that your car is absolutely
perfect isn't it :p
Well its been a real hoot this afternoon but I really must get on now - gotta paint something in the garage.
pip pip
Oops, nearly forgot - Is a Copyright valid even when it is mis-spelled? (copywrite?) Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one and please
don't assume that I am implying anything about the standard of anybody's education - it was purely a joke ...... ok?
Disclaimer: For those with 'drop of a hat' legal tendencies
Any statements or references in this thread which are made regarding any persons (living or dead) should be regarded as totally flippant and purely
coincidental. In other words you shouldn't really give a toss, honestly.

I like the advertising idea though.
"Here's one we didn't prepare earlier."
I can imagine the next TV advert for Audi. It featues an old Skoda. "Here is a sample of the type of terrible work out there, and a type we WONT
be supplying."
Arf. Could work for a lot of things...

Mark may, as he says, have obtained permission to take the photograph, but did Raz sign a release authorising use of the resulting picture for
commercial use ?
I've stayed out of arguments about Mark in the past, on the assumption that there are two sides to every story, and given him the benefit of the
doubt; but if it is true that he asked Raz's permission to take that picture without telling him that it would be used as knocking copy then it
was a despicable action to do so.
At least Raz is happy to let the supremely high quality of his work speak for itself and doesn't feel the need to tart his car up with spurious
"No Fear" "Suzuki" and "Castrol" logos. (Cheap shot I know - sorry )

No - that's why it's in 'Anything else'.
Macbeast..you are correct!
Giving someone permission to take a photograph of your car is quite different to giving permission to take and use that photograph for commercial
purposes and gain.. in fact it is downright illegal.
Dale
Therefore the reason to screen dump the offending image was imperative. It's now been edited to in fact make the advert a little less
offensive... in a professional world the one thing you don't do is openly slag off your competition (which is none existant)
Who else offers superior UK services from Cyprus? IMO services such as this should only be offered by people in the UK for people here in the UK.
Afterall, any idiot taking up on this offer would have little recourse should the paint job not be upto standard. This authorised Trader has a history
whereby if anything goes wrong, all traces of history are deleted, kind of suggests what would happen... if I may say, a little reminiscent to a
certain unauthorised trader on here which the authorised trader wholly supported until of late.

andyps - 26/9/07 at 10:23 PMTwo things, and I know they have laready been said, but if he is in Cyprus wouldn't it be better to target a more local clientele? Also, why negative advertising. To use the political analogy, hardly anyone votes anymore partly because the parties only tell us that they won't do what they tell us others might do, without saying what they will do themselves. Successful businesses advertise their own abilities, because they can. If you can't show what you can do, why would anyone believe you can do it. Not only that, by saying you are better than others you are ready for a big fall. Unless you can entirely blame a sub-contractor of course
