Can I go back to being a "Tinkerer" please ?

Postby inkitin » Fri 30.05.2008, 21:42

I've just noticed that I have been upgraded to "Enthusiast". :shock: I presume this happens automatically after 100 posts. :oops:

I feel this upgrade is undeserved and unwarranted, especially considering that most of my posts have been general and impart no knowledge of the car. I hope I don't even pretend to have any great knowledge.

Mods, please, if possible, put me back to where I feel I belong i.e. a Tinkerer :P and, to be honest, that's probably an overstatement !!

:agree:

My god status has nothing to do with mechanical prowess, or engineering knowledge.

OK Dave. Thanks. I'll interpret it as being enthusiastic rather than knowing anything. :D

Still feel a bit of a fraud though !! :oops:

Hmmm. I think you missed out "grovelling" between licking and sycophant. :lol:

I'm well old enough to have been called a lot worse than that !! :wink:

It's more of a forum credit than an Elan credit. There is a 4wd M100 driving about but the modifier isn't on this forum neither are any of my mechanics; who are awesome! and would laughably be called Tinkerers with a certain amount of posts.

If you are a fraud then what am I with 'God' status. :wink:
