We don't need all that.we all have our individual differences so try to understand.as I said I don't give a dam on how you feel.just learn to take a deep breath and mind your business.

i will post whatever I want, wherever I want, as long as it's within nairaland rules
if you don't like it open your own website, simple. commonsens is not common anymore

emeshot:
Work hard and mind your business.there is nothing like village people.those are words cowards

you're the coward for not having the simple human decency to treat people with courtesy
dealer indeed
as far as this is nairaland any member or user has the freedom to post on any thread, read the rules. nothing like your business here. if you don't like it open your website and control traffic

Westmorland:
I'll say again. Even this your response is so rude.
I should mind my business but not checking out the car you put for sale if i would like to buy abi?
Calm down we are all in the same economy together.

that's their character, many of them, so rude and uncouth, then when sales start to drop they would start to blame innocent people in the village.
time will tell

Jakumo:
There is nothing on wheels that I appreciate more, that a wolf in sheep's clothing, that is to say a car that looks tame and docile, but is in fact capable of blistering acceleration far exceeding the stock capabilities of the vehicle.

This is a fine example of that "less is more" philosophy in practice. How the engineers squeezed a monstrous 4.7 liter V8 into such a tiny car is a feat of precision modification that beggars belief, considering the space limitations that had to be overcome during this conversion.

I would love to own a little pocket-rocket like this, just to phuck with hot-rod car owners who would look down their noses at such a "toy" car, only to have their frigging doors blown off when I stomp on the gas the instant that traffic light turns green.

I love it. Two thumbs UP for this masterful creation.

Refined palate, you have Sir.

AutoJoshNG:
Do you mean you are angry that Autojosh posted about Volvo from Volvo's website?

I hope you are aware that the link you posted is from Volvo's website? Can you explain why you are angry when Volvo is happy that Autojosh posted their content for Nigerians to know more about their brand?

You're deliberately missing the point, even on your website I didn't see a direct link to the Volvo website page Dottore posted ,So you lifted the information from Volvo or some other website, posted on your website, then posted it here and used the plagiarized post on your website as your source.

If crook A stole from bank A and deposited in bank B, and then used the money from bank B to make payments to bank C, isn't the money still stolen money?

Once upon a time Toyota designed and sold the diminutive smart car badged as the Scion or Toyota iQ in Europe, North America and Asia.

It was a 3 door hatchback with a 1.0 - 1.4 L inline 3/inline 4 cylinder engine producing 67 - 97 horsepower with a manual/CVT transmission.


=========================================


Along came Aston Martin, the famous British manufacturer of all things powerful but suave and refined, who needed some help with their regulation fleet emissions, so they promptly slapped the Aston Martin badge on the iQ, and the Aston Martin Cygnet was born.

It had similar specifications with the original Toyota, but with more leather, a hint of haughty elegance and more tea drinking gentlemen perusing the morning paper in tweed jackets.

Not much to look at or enjoy, really. A rolls Royce horse is still a horse.

=========================================

That is, until someone at Aston Martin had the bright idea to take the original 430 horsepower, 361 lb-ft of torque, 4.7 litre Aston Martin Vantage S engine, front and rear subframes,19-inch wheels, and quite beefy carbon fiber wheel arches, to create the one-off Aston Martin Cygnet V8.

The cabin has a roll cage, but that’s the sacrifice the owner is willing to make to own the one-of-a-kind Cygnet with a Vantage heart. There’s carbon fiber just about everywhere, along with body-hugging Recaro racing seats and some controls inherited from the Vantage.

https://dmi3w0goirzgw.cloudfront.net/gallery-images/840x560/438000/200/438286.jpg

The result is an awesome 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 second masterpiece of carfection, a pocket rocket Bond himself would be envious of.

Thankfully and unfortunately, this is a one-off, designed for a customer with a large imagination, and an even larger bank account.

Dottore:
Interesting facts buts surprising how you often times copy articles from original sources, plagiarize, and publish on your blog and on Nairaland while you present your blog as source without acknowledging the original source.

Mind you it's a criminal offense it's not smartness. Smart people stay away from all sorts of crime.

AUTOJOSH1:
This can be done with a Igbo screwdriver or any other pointed object

Igbo screwdriver? I don't understand that.

Wow, so nairaland autocorrects flat_head to igbo?

That's deeply offensive and tribalist.

How would you feel if terrorist was autocorrected to Muslim?

Both are tribal and ethnic denigrating slurs, and should not have any place in public discourse, much less officially being sanctioned.

If the autocorrection was an attempt to defeat tribalism, then it failed woefully because it's even more tribalist and insulting than the original comments.

This place has gone to the dogs

Shame to those who brought it to Nairaland

Quotes. Documentary 2

...It was as if we were on a different planet... Everything was black... Mangroves were dead, the roots were in black water...It was apocalyptic...

...Turned out he was an extremely powerful and extremely successful individual. He had an escort, and he came in a police car, that was the level of protection he had...

...I took one look at him and thought, 'Oh my gosh, he cannot be in charge of anything. He was about mid twenties, didn't look like anything, and I thought, "How can he be running an Oil racket?"...

Lalasticlala

These deeply saddening stills from a documentary by VICE on the Niger Delta Struggle are hard to see.

fake shirt

also, I know people like you that have been in the usa for 1 year and every 5 minutes they would say, here in the usa or here in canada and so on

bro, you don't know anybody here. a lot of people here are also in the us and have been there for many years yet they don't make too much noise about it here because nairaland is not real life.

if you know, you know

gomez1only:
So you call this an accident? Anyone could buy and replace the hood and resell this at an offsite sales ground. If you have a car of this damage, please make sure you dont replace the hood and trash the car. What you guys dont know is that a car damage not up to 75 percent are bought by dealers here and resold to the American market ( Not even Nigeria).Getting this to Nigeria is a blessing because trust me, i know cars that are sent over there. Go and confirm that.

unlike some other people here I don't actually have time to be doing argument with people like you

if you want to continue please continue that argument with yourself and other people like you, the car was damaged all over the body, not only the hood, and you were aware that why you sharply deleted the comment initially

if you want to tell lies and white lies about car to sell, please keep it up, I know people like thebigkendo and cosplay and others have time for people like you, so get ready for them

kimaya:
I don dey watch this post and decided to just speak my mind.

Bro. Honestly we Nigerians are funny. So you expected the man to put a result on here that car was damaged ? Would you do that if this was your hustle. That is why we are not progressing in Nigeria. We just talk with mouth not brain. Please show me 5 cars in Nigeria that are straight. i have seen reports of carfax that shows accident reported so your point is not valid. I go go for this car if i have that kind money. i no you and d bros wey dey argue cosplay or wetin be him name are like me wey no fit afford pencil light.. Make we leave hustlers dey hustle i beg.

from your statement it is clear the kind of person you are, you are like a typical nigerian car dealer that would hide info about a car if it is negative so he can sell it to someone

nigerians and criminality are like 1 and 2

chief, if you don't understand the point the other posters are making then why don't you shut up and move on?

I don't know who you are that u opened a new account just to post all this nonsense but I have to say, your posts reek of lack of understanding

the point they have made is very good. The man knew the car was damaged and that's why he even pasted a chassis no that was not correct initially

I have also seen many cars with bad damages but carfax would say no accident and autocheck would say collision but no accident

I have checked the auction pics of this car and cosplay was right, according to the auction the car was in rollover type of accident, so i don't know what you and the dealer are here talking and making noise about

from what I've understood so far, their point is very clear, don't give an impression that your car is clean with no damages yet you know the car had damages

well things seem to have calmed down here, besides the occasional jab by latecomers to the discussion, those ones are like those guys that always hang around after an event in nigeria for free booze and leftover meat

the sage talking about uber in lagos should go read about uber in china. look beyond jinping's protectionist policies and you would understand why uber packed up and fled such a burgeoning market

like I said before, what works in market a may not work in market b

I'm back like Oliver Twist...

immense thanks

radautoworks:
At this point,

I'll be as plain as possible:

And this applies to you too, gazzuzz





STOP

radautoworks:
Gazzuzz, Gazzuzz. Pretty sure you saw "counterfeit" in that sentence. Also, any replacement you buy in the USA is three layer SMH.

i have to say, you come across as condescending

we understand that there are ways of doing things that you're used to, you have your own habits and methods which have worked for you in the past in a totally different environment with different norms and a different culture

don't assume that those exact methods would work for you in the same way in a totally different environment, "Standard" is very relative

someone mentioned this earlier, I'll do so again, this now-personal back and forth has totally derailed the constructive discussion that I think was supposed to be the point of this thread

you've made your point, gazzuzz you've made yours. the mature thing here would be for both of you to put an end to this degenerating situation, especially because I have the distinct feeling that there's more to this than just professional rivalry

received! very grateful, you guys are doing a great job

One more please
