One quality I possess is the ability to admit "I'm Wrong" & in this case, you are exactly correct in regards to the fuel line from the fuel cell being on top of the ground cable, as I was fooled ( My Error) by the RED terminal on top of a ground cable.quote:Originally posted by 1973 Pantera:quote:Originally posted by 1Rocketship:Why are some members so adverse to criticism?!quote:Originally posted by 1973 Pantera:quote:Originally posted by Joules:
It strikes me that more often than not whan a car comes up for sale here there are people willing to jump all over it and find fault.
IMO the "Pantera's for sale" section should be exactly that, a means for forum members to post their car for sale with legitimate responses and requests for more information and contact etc.
It should not be a bunch of virtual tire kickers who have not seen or inspected the car first hand.

Flame suit on
AMEN Julian.
Thankfully it's not as frequent on this forum as some others I been on, but I agree that negative comments or observations should not be posted in response to someones ad.
If one is genuinely interested or concerned, the seller should be contacted directly with a Private Message.
Criticism can be used as a valuable tool to fix/correct errors/problems & as a result produce a better product for sale.
Did you even watch the video?!...There is a fuel line from the fuel cell precariously close/lying on top of the positive terminal of the battery!!! ( 7:59 of video)
Do you feel that hazardous situation should not be commented on???!!!
I wonder what environment those people that so vehemently fear criticism work in, obviously not the real world!...Mark
So a Private Message to the seller, the one person on the planet who could immediately correct any problems, isn't sufficient?
Especially when your "observation" is totally WRONG?
Look closer: the fuel line at 7:59 of the video is lying close to the NEGATIVE terminal, not the positive. The cable is red, but it is actually the ground cable.
The positive battery terminal, which is well away from the fuel line, is well covered/protected by a red plastic cover. You can clearly see the positive cable exiting down thru the chassis from the positive terminal.
Oops!
As for your ponder: "I wonder what environment those people that so vehemently fear criticism work in, obviously not the real world!"
I have been a Commercial Pilot for 24 years. In my world accuracy is everything.
I guess it's not in yours.................
See how easy it is for myself to accept criticism & admit fault.
Lesson to be learned here for some readers of this & other threads!...Mark
