What do points make / PRIZES

[Dozer 73]

Ratings and points , or points especially on this forum , how do you score them and why are we collecting them

 

[telectrix]

because we can.

 

[Dozer 73]

because we can.

And how do we gain them

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

I rated you as funny so that you ratings will go up a little. if you go in your profile page and ratings given/received you can see your score. the higher the score the closer you become to god like status on the forum. think of it as a long drawn out election system.

 

[telectrix]

AND I'VE GIVEN A LIKE.

 

[westward10]

Me too.

An I thought point's meant I was going too fast !

Does your score go down if you get a dislike.

 

[happysteve]

I don't think so. But perhaps "old," "bad spelling," and "dumb" do. I believe "dislike" and "optimistic" are neutral. Maybe?

setting points. that takes me back last ones i ever done was a Sierra. you just reminded me. that Sierra cost me £200, and on the last day of the road tax running out, an Esso tanker rear ended me. insurance gave me £600. enough to replace the car and get ratted for a week. was round about 1987.

..... Esso tanker rear ended me.....

So you can get a power surge from ESSO Fuel !
..
My Sierra memories consist of laying under one -belongin to a mate.
..Finishing off his take it apart habits / always outside , must have had some cold winters - remembering Snow on tools.
I probably had a Cortina then ... yearning for a Cosworth .

Similar thing happened to me, I paid £36 for a mk 3 fiesta with 3 months MOT on it in 2006. A week before MOT ran out, a VW passat rear ended me, got nearly £2,000

I was just clearing my old Dad's shed out today and found two sets of points and rotor arms from Mum's HA Viva (C reg from memory, so 1966?) points and rotor burned so actually just rubbish!
