Good luck rs246, you wont see me much around here from now on. Maybe you should take note who uses your website and what is going on.
I never 'misquoted' a thing
I sent them the actual links to YOUR actual posts
they (I assume) read them

no paraphrasing, no hyperbole, no 'condensed version'...your own words from your own posts...
you have no one to blame but yourself for anything that happens

Care to share what exactly you sent to Audi? & why you felt it necessary to send them anything as an ordinary member of public?

After all this forum is to share & help forum members, not to take sides against them.

Sorry to butt in but IIRC from a previous post Arthur stated that he gets paid x by Audi

Thanks for that, I must have missed that.

In the posts I do recollect, he denied any financial or other indirect involvement with Audi.

There was another one of these threads where Arthur and MRC Minhea (S2tuner) were having a rumble, can't be ar5ed to search for it but the figure stated was quite a large one and memorable for that reason, over to Arthur :D

I sent hyperlinks to his posts!
can I be any more clear?
I TOLD him I was going to do it...
he didn't seem to have an issue with it, in fact he encouraged me to do it...

his 263 HP post...
his 'engine destroyed' post...
both on Audizine

this one of mine...

and his carbon post on this forum...

he said carbon destoryed his engine..in no uncertain terms
as an owner, I wanted to see if that was true...it's a bold claim
I have that right, and I answer to no one...

I said that in jest, in a response to a personal attck by sims (or someone like him)...
he accused me of being a 'plant' or something...I said, yea, they pay me $300,000 to surf the web...lol, or something to that effect...

that was cleared up, and I have said 20 times if once...
I do not work for Audi
I have no contracts with Audi
I have no relationship other than I bought an Audi
clear enough?

in fact, at least 1/2 dozen members know my name, my job title, my place of employment...and it's not Audi, lol

mal shot himself in the foot posting BS and hyperbole

oooo my car makes 263 HP due to deposits!!!!!!!
then he runs it and it makes a better time that a saloon (his is vert) as varified by vagcom
timing, mixture etc. were perfect

then he makes a post 'valve deposits destroyed my engine', which is not true
Audi told him it was oil realted...

he caused his own grief...
one can't post crap and not expect someone to attempt to verify it...
especially something that may affect 100's of 1000's of engines: Audi, BMw, etc.

Constructive comment there, thanks for the positive contribution. :thumbs:

Who is the bigger 'muppet' now; you or ArthurPe who I gather you are aiming that comment at?

As an avid fan of the RS4, of course you were seeking the truth. Did you also ask about them about the DRC situation for at present in your estimation it does not affect any cars in the US, but it is a worldwide issue.

What extra information/comments did you send to Audi? Care to share?

Hard to tell since the post was so descriptive in nature...
