Scott, There are probably quite a few type A's here who are regulars, myself included. I do not think any of them stirred the pot the way he did for as long as he did.

If I'm not mistaken, he was a contributing factor as to why the original Tom (TurboCoupe50) has been absent.

THERE'S someone I miss.

I had noticed his absence as well. I hope he comes back around as he was very knowledgeable about not only these Fox cars but automobiles in general!

I can't really add to the great things everyone's already said about this forum and the people in it - it's all true. I was mainly on motorcycle forums before I bought my fox bird and really didn't know squat about them besides digging the look. I'm sure it must get tiresome answering the same questions over and over again as you guide newbies through all the issues and upgrades. My fox is freaking bad*** now and it's mainly due to your patience and willingness to help. I feel bad about Tom as some of my threads might have helped precipitate the arguments. Like jcassity, I didn't have an issue with his attitude. Yeah, he poked fun at me but I did a lot of dumb things (like trying to measure vacuum at the hose that goes to my EGR plate).

Anyway thank you all for being here and sticking with it. It's too bad you all live so far way. Let me know if you ever come out to northern CA.

hum,, I missed all this........
what the hell is a peaceful protest anyway....

im gonna miss Renzo ,, I knew how to work with him... a type A personality isn't a disease,, your just born with it..

he is a pain in the ass but so are most of us.

Scott, i wasn't trying to be passive/agressive when i began this thread. I merely wanted to frame a conversation, not an argument, so that something constructive could be figured out without any drama. I personally had no issue with Tom regarding anything i have posted, merely because i never sought his opinion or expertise, and the one time i did post in that way regarding my flooded 83 Heritage, the thread was derailed instantly by him with a g match about whose way is the right way. That said, i have defended him several times here for being attacked when i judged it unfair or uncalled for. Most recently i had PM'ed him and posted several times for him to get in touch as i had some business to refer his way in his local area, he never even had the courtesy to reply to me let alone say thank you. When i saw that Paul (V8 Demon) was going to walk away from the forum, i said enough is enough. He is a forum pal, and a local friend that i spend a lot of time with, and he is the last person who deserves to be run off of a forum like this. This man would do anything to help a friend at any hour of the day. I don't have any personal dislike for Tom. I never met him, or spoke with him, and i am sure over some beers and stories he is an ok guy. That said when the harmony of a great place like this is threatened for as long as it has, at the least a open discussion with cool heads and the mods involved seemed prudent. Time for a group hug and to move on to Fox Bird/Cat talk.

I doubt that. Maybe he's just lying low and cooling off.

haahahaahaha

well,, for the record I have spoke to him.
for the record,, of how he is in "vocal person",,, just think of any given post of his.

the only difference is that here on the board,,you could finish what you were say'in................ get it!

its like going down a crowded interstate,,, all the other cars are tom and your trying to get somewhere,,, but all those other fuggers are out doing you.

Does anyone know the name of his shop? I'm not trying to stir the pot but I do find it odd that as a business owner he is under the radar as far as quick net searches go.

I was going to show you but ,, well all evidence is gone.

for the record,, the eraser button some powerful god has really does the trick.
Im sure many facebook users would love to have someone with that kind of power,, especially on their job interview.
If anything was done wrong by tom,, there sure as hell isn't any proof.

as they say...... "if at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you ever tried"

As echoed by all the posts, With this site, I have a feeling of trust, especially wanting to buy or sell something. I dont have that trust, or familiarity with other sites. This site is very important to me and these cars.

Meeting in person with fellow members is a great thing, I wish I could have been to able to make it to some. Wishing we could have more of that. Catjam.....................

Tom (not renzo, turbocoupe50) has been hit or miss on this forum for quite a few years, before tom (renzo) ever posted.

I do wish he came back. He was very knowledgeable and shared quite a bit with everyone. And master blaster. That guy was like jcassity, tom renzo(when he wasn't a prick), seek and just about anyone else you could think of rolled into one person. King of searches, information,but god did he need to get rid of his dial up...

I think if Tom (tc5.0) went to that big ole car show in the sky, we'd have heard about it. Or I'd like to think somehow, the grapevine would let us know if so. But I too think he just got tired of all the bullshiznit. He'll pop in again...bet on it.

As for Renzo, his kid has a FB page...I peeped it one time. I don't think they have a shop, I think they just got hired by some rich barstid to change his oil a few times and they kinda went with the swelled head. Maybe I'm wrong..who gives a shiznit, yanno?

He had good info, he also had an asshole side and he made it apparent one time, not long after he started getting active here. He posted some pics of his fabbed up rear caliper brackets to mount SN95 discs on a TC rear. I asked him what he'd charge to make some for me, and to name whatever price he thought was fair.

Crickets. Not even a "no, I don't condescend to even tell you f*ck off", not a reply of any kind.

A few days later, he was an ass to a newer guy and that made up my mind.

I'm no peach, and I've done my share of ashedhole stunts, but by and large I'm willing to help out too. If he didn't want to bother with making me some brackets, I wouldn't have batted an eye or thought any more about it. I've been told no a couple of times before that, LMAO.

A lot of folks who have been absent...shawn, brian, slamedcat, shame302, thundergrowl, jim miller, sick88tbird, bret from iowa, shiznit, bunches of folks.

Life goes on, I guess...people keep on movin along. Guess i am nostalgic..got a lot of new blood though...we got traditions to continue. Let's roll!

Beau, its consistent with what i wrote here earlier when i tried to connect him with some work, and he never replied, say thanks or anything. His deal is a shady one, and any business person i know, would jump at the opportunity to market their business for free here. I did some research online. It would seem that his BS here is repeated on several other forums. His son uses Tfaclonieri on Turbo Ford and apparently has a lifetime ban over there.

Might just be in poor taste to joke about the only-recently...departed, but it would seem that Toms of a feather troll together..

I knew Renzo, Sr, got kicked off of a couple of forums, I stopped in to sniff the breeze as I did infrequently on I believe it was TurboFord, or maybe it was 4 eyed pride, and there was a huge to-do about him and they really gave him the axe there. Chuck W even warned him when he first got silly here that his shiznit wasn't going to fly like it did on some other boards..

Of course, the uptight admin(s) at FEP wouldn't have put up with his for more than 10 seconds, so maybe it was TF...

I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing the guy, but that bit about him going back and deleting or editing his posts was pretty half-assed too. Anyone ever figure out what was up with that? It's one thing to be an arrogant old man, pushy, and full of yourself...type A, or whatever, but then to be a little bitch about it and go back and edit out all your posts...I did have him on ignore for awhile, but still, seeing only half the drama with him made me want to see the he was posting, so off the list he came.

Still, he's only the third person I've ever put on ignore here. The other one was that dick-socket that asked a time or two what needed done to swap in a 351w. I replied that it's all been hashed out before, run a search and spend a bit reading...

He got all pen 15y and said he didn't have time to read, he was busy building. Ignore coming up in 3..2..1..

Chuck told him off too. When the board made the sever change a couple of years ago, that shiznitheel got lost in the switch. And I think the other guy I put on iggy was that one little brat...the one that had the car named after the shoe brand..the one who ripped off a few folks..
Wait..there's one other...that guy in new england who conned vinnie for some junky go kart tires. I know one of the FB groups he's on...he ever makes a deal with someone, I'll warn them off.

Other than that, people here are awesome.

It was turbo ford, and there was an alias (supposedly his son Tom jr.) TFalconieri that was banned there also.
