Bros, apologize to the man Siena!!! .... Don't make a fool of yourself anymore , just throw in the towel and let peace reign

Siena:


With all due respect, I will tell you this.

I have carried out automobile modifications here in the UK, that have been magazine featured by:

GTI Special #6.
Fast Car.
Performance VW.

Now when you modify cars in the Western world, these cars MUST have independent inspection, and once passed, will be issued with an engineer's report. This means the vehicle is deemed safe for use on public roads. Without these, you couldn't get the car through an MOT test. Meaning you couldn't register the car or tax it. Also, you would NOT get insurance.

All my cars pass inspection, despite very little remaining of the original cars. My modifications are safe, and functional. Just like my current 2 projects will be.

Here are some extracts from Fast Car Magazine. This was built in 1997, and went through 3 paint jobs, and 2 engine transplants. I won't give any more details, it's all perfectly legible, if you care to read:

That old chestnut? The age-old defense the average Nigerian uses, in an attempt to get the upper hand in a debate.

Tell me something bro, how many qualified engineers do YOU know, who have manufactured components in let's say a cordless drill, despite being qualified for 30-odd years?

There are more engineers who throughout their useful working years will NEVER manufacture a car. This does NOT make them any less qualified than the minority who will go on to design and build power units.

Remodelling an existing vehicle into the mess above does NOT qualify one to be described as a major brain

Understanding the fundermentals behind how an existing engine works, and what makes a structure SAFE makes one worthy of praise, one who has done their homework, and who will go far in the automotive industry.

You've

Siena:


I've what, Peter?

But daddy(I gave you this title) Siena, I have an axe to grind with you.

Sheesh. What have I done this time?

Siena:


Sheesh. What have I done this time?

Siena:


Prattle talk? No better than you stating my previous write-up was cràp. Meaning you have nothing useful to add to your previous effort. You've still failed to dissect my argument, you're simply making a blanket statement because it covers your inadequate knowledge of anything technical.

Compliment the guy that messed up a perfectly good trike? Why would I do that, when he's achieved nothing?

And please, stop playing the "seeing black as inferior to white" card, it's useless here. Sentiment has no place when it comes to appreciating technology, regardless of which race were involved in it's production.

Just do you know, I'm a proud Nigerian, superior in my own field, and neither Negroes, Asian or Caucasian have any issues working under my direction.
