My lasting memory of the JK forum was Jimbo forever griping about his "horrible lady boss", forgetting that she had the same internet access as he did. I assume he left that job...
And forgetting she was paying him to spend the entire day chatting on the forum. Last I heard he had married an obese American man he met on the internet and sold his van as he wouldn't fit in it.
I thought you had to change career to own a T4, it takes commitment not just an 'Animal' sticker and a set of Halfords Alloys....
He threatened to "ruin me" after some overspray got on his steering wheel. This despite offering to sort it out - 50 miles was too far for him to come. This after turning up for new front wheel arches with his bed out and made, half a cup of coffee on the side, dash tidy full of CD's and stuff "I thought you'd have dust sheets". Not a man from reality as we know it.

I used to waste many hours on jk and enjoyed it for the most part. Made some good friends over there. I never went in the soapbox as I have never been particularly interested in debating or arguing for the sake of it. My life has changed and jk evolved in a different direction, so I haven't been a regular user for some time now. I can't see myself going back
Maybe we should turn this into the JK Forum memorial thread - seems pretty dead over there. One highlight I remember was when the tin-pellet fuel-saver man turned up ("as used on Hurricanes during the war, etc"), mentioning the strange catalytic reaction that "science doesn't really understand" (i.e. doesn't actually do anything). On of the JK-ers (Fidodido?) turned out to be an associate professor of chemistry at one of the Unis. The fuel-saver discussion went strangely quiet after that...
JK died long before TLB came along. Sparky bollocking everyone over and over and over again, and HellsBells believing that the sun really did shine out of her own arse, were just a few of many reasons. I tried to chat to the JK lot at the Techenders they turned up to. They were a right miserable bunch of b@stards. The funniest Techenders I went to was the one with Ranchera and Peter Davis on the red wine.
Did I mention ive never liked you! Your right there he was and still is - clever chap! He left like hed been shot down in a bloomin hurricane. Happy days!
Lots of "proof" just not exactly scientific, lots of testimonials.... I recall he was very hurt at being described as a Purveyor of Snake Oil. Can't remember who actually said it though, could have been you. SoKal (?) was a born diplomat too.
