lol....sarah clearly you have a beef with chow, well let me tell you chow and i have had a few run ins too in the past...HOWEVER...i value chow as a good contributer to this site and i consider him to have valuable information to offer forum members.....sure he was at the back of the diplomacy queue at birth but i dont consider that a valid reason for the personal insults you have thrown at him in at least two of your posts...i have experience of several forums in my time and i love this one because (as you have found) a member is able to express any opinion they like without fear of being banned, many forums are clique and if you disagree or do not "bum lick" the top brass you are banned without a second thought....
if you want to discredit chow find a opinion he has made and disagree in a constuctive manor rather than that of a bitter ex.....(im sure you are not his ex but in sure you get the point)
May you enjoy the forum and incidentally do you have a volvo. if so post as a newbie and introduce yourself...
cheers
jod

edit....yeah i could pm this but i think a FEW members need reminding on forum etiquette..

You should always drive at a speed that is safe and within your capabilities. With consideration to road conditions, other road users and what you are driving.
Nothing wrong with driving at 100mph, so long as you know you can control the vehicle, stop in a timely fashion and are not a danger to other road users.

That would be deemed as making progress by most professional drivers, pity it’s been buried along with common sense lol
