SalePlease don't post pictures to non binary groups. You can upload the

Also it's a bit of a foux pa to post html in general.

Did it hell, it may have won 6 stages over the group B supercar era. On the
other hand the Audi quattro and quattro sport won at least 25 stages and the
championship outright on more than one occasion.

The Audi quattro can be picked up from £2500 onwards. Kind of makes that
Italian rust bucket of yours look a bit pricey?

And you sir, are an idiot. All those pre-pubescent's that whinged at
you did so because you did something you weren't supposed to do. It
is considered very bad manners to post binary's to non-binary groups.
Had you bothered to investigate this before posting bloody great
pictures then perhaps you would have been treated with a little more
respect.

Was the Integrale even competing for six years?

Impreza vs. Integrale :) Maybe the Integrale would be faster, but the
Subaru would make it to the end of the course :)

If a newsgroup accepts binaries it will say in it's name
and also in its charter e.g.

alt.alt.binaries.pictures
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.d

So if it doesn't say binary or something similar don't
post pictures in it.

Also ignorance is no excuse there is plenty of
information about newsgroups, why don't these
people RTFM before they subscribe

A) You seem to be the one with no manners, you have omitted that you made
a mistake, so why didn't you just apologise instead of insulting people even
more than you did in the first place.

B)The car WAS a good car and won the WRC 6 times, but this was back in
1992 nearly 10 years ago, no I'm not knocking the car but they where also
known
for rusting quicker than a metro left in sea water. personally I would much
rather
opt for a EVO 5/6/7 much nicer cars to drive.

you can read my review of the EVO 7 at http://www.moddedcars.com/

Erm, it doesn't have the word binary in the title.

Outlook Express is like the Volvo 340 of the computer world. Free Agent

Listen 'Glen'.

I posted in good faith thinking I was using a newsgroup for its sole use. I
was wrong, ho hum and I understand that now. What jarred me was the abusive
donkey's that threw insults whilst explaining the rules of a newsgroup, is
that really meant to make me want to listen and learn how to use these
groups when I'm called a f*** wit for not understanding in the first place?

And in relation to your comments about rust on the Integrale, your mistaken
with the earlier Lancia cars. Lancia had rectified there rust issues by the
early 90's, and all there cars came with a 10 year anti corrosion guarantee
(as did the evo), although there reputation had already been dented by
failing 80's cars, and hence them pulling out of the UK market.

I don't doubt that the Mitsubishi is a good car but to compare the Integrale
Evo to the Mitsu Evo is unfair, they are from a different era with different
technology, and if your on a budget and you want a sort after ex WRC rally
car then the Grale is still a good proposition.

I rest my case.

If you want to use a newsgroup, lurk for a day or two and see what goes on
there before posting.

And the cardinal rules include:

1. Don't top-post (which you don't seem to have learned)
2. Don't post in HTML
3. Don't post binaries
4. Snip irrelevant material from your reply

These apply to *all* uk.* groups - so if you *ever* do *any* of the above
again clearly you are a fuckwit.

As I said, the name of the newsgroup itself tells you if
you can or cannot post binaries, its as simple as that.

you would have seen the name of the newsgroup,
and also seen that it does not contain the word binaries.

I assume that you have Microsoft Internet Explorer, you
can look up the charter of individual newsgroups by doing a
search on it's name.

Ben ignore them
They are inconsiderate w*nkers
They slag people off for "top posting" mearly because they dont have the
energy in their hand to scroll down to see the old message (too much of the
above mentioned hobby methinks)
You used the group for what it should be used - ignore the morons they are a
plenty on newsgroups

I personally would cut my left arm off for an Integrale
If I owned an evo 6 or 7 I'd hardly feel right throwing it around a nice
muddy/gravelly race track
Thats something I think the Integrale looks like it was made to do - and
does it bloody well

Your right about one thing, I don't have an argument
which is why I'm not arguing, its a simple matter and you
are wrong. if you don't know how to use a newsgroup then
you shouldn't be using it. get some tuition, or be prepared to be
criticised when you make mistakes due to your lack of knowledge.

Cause you're using crap US software where they don't pay for their phone
calls. The same crap software that keeps making you top post despite being
repeatedly asked to not do so.

Why do wet behind the ears newbies always argue? Did you do the same with
your driving instructor, saying you weren't going to obey any silly UK
rules, but use US ones instead?

Come on Glenn admit it, these kids that slag people off (from behind their

The 'grale in my opinion is a fantastic car, exceptionally good looking;
with bags of road presence that modern day scoobies, and EVOs just cannot
match... Okay so they stopped product around '94 (with the Evoluzion Kat),
but they are still excellent cars; Having had the delight of being taken for
a spin in one, I can honestly say it is my personal dream car. They cost a
fair bit to run, but that's rally heritage for you. At the moment i'm in the
need for daily drivers, and I wouldn't want to run the mileage up on such a
gorgeous creature; that said when I'm in the luxurious position of being
able to own a weekend car, I know where I'll be looking...

And for those posting about RHD, and "shite" conversions; well the only true
RHDs were pre EVO, i.e the earlier lancia integrale delta16v (the twin
rear-pipe jobbies) or HF 4WD & HW 8v'ers ; No EVO (Kat or otherwise) ever
came from the factory RHD. There have been a fair few converted over, but
because there are *no* RHD steering racks they usually slap on the old 16v
RHD steering rack which has a longer ratio, and thus destroys the feel of
this marvellous car...

If it the group doesn't have "binary" or "binaries" in its name then
binaries (and indeed anything except ASCII text) is prohibited. Simple.

Used to be that newsreading software would automatically subscribe you
to newusers groups when you set it up. That was very useful, as it meant
that people starting out were pointed to information on how to post and
general aspects of USENET ettiquette. Unfortunately Microsoft appear to be
too clueless to do this, so we get arguements and kerfuffles like this
one.

http://www.usenet.org.uk/

is the best place to start for information on uk.* groups and how to use
them - strongly recommended.

In the meantime the cardinal rules are generally held to be:

1. If the group doesn't have "binaries" in its name, post plain text only
2. Don't post a message to more then four groups -
maximum. Excessive crossposting really annoys people
3. When following up someone else's message, edit out the stuff that isn't
relevent to your reply (it cuts the length of the message down) and add
your contribution *after* the other person's stuff. Top-posting (that is,
the new stuff at the top) is a real no-no, but Outlook appears to default
to it - another example of MS getting things wrong.

Hope this helps.

http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.rec.cars.classic.html?uk.rec.cars.classic

is the charter for one group (uk.rec.cars.classic)

There is actually a good point here on both sides. (Some) Newsreading
software used (at one time) to provide hints and tips on ettiquette,
including the strong suggestions to read the group charter /and/ to lurk
in a group (read it but not post) for at least a couple of weeks before
posting. Unfortunately current newsreading programmes don't do this.
Logically, ISPs (the people you get your connection through) should
implement this, but of course they don't.

Although anyone weak minded enough to be *forced* into top posting just
because the cursor appears there deserves everything they get.

The Integrale was never produced in RHD at any time. The only RHD HF4wd's
and Integrales are ones that have been converted.

Please... we all make mistakes.... I subscribe to uk.rec.cars.classic
because I am interested in, and drive, old cars. I think I know what
Outlook Express is, but would not presume to describe it as shitty as I
don't know what else is available. Not sure I need to, as it seems to work
perfectly well for me.


Web browser? Search engine? Please take this argument to somewhere your
discussion about technical matters would be more appropriate.

Don't mean to be unkind, but would rather discuss cars than the merits of
software products.

Yea, there's nothing actally inherently wrong with Outlook Express, it's
just considered 'cool' to slag it off because it has some settings
defaulted to annoy 'cool' newsgroup users (and they say Bill Gates has no
sense of humour).

Well said. Right, let's see, those old classic cars, pretty shitty aren't
they :)

Apart from that it's shite, the security is shite, the options are shite,
and it's generally a pile of shite - no.

Other than the fact that it's a security hole the size of Texas.

Errrr, if you know what you're doing, you can configure OE to be as secure
as you wish......
It's like saying "my car isn't secure at all" and then realising that all
you have to do is lock it ;)
