Is it disrespectful to call someone a traveller or a gypsy? your just a angry Irish guy ?
I think it depends a lot on your tone, the way you use the word (like any insult really). I've asked a few in the past if they were insulted by the word gypsy, long story short - no, not always...

the central locking is it vacume controlled or electrical assisted? if you have any bother fire me a pm, i`m mechanic think trek is aswell, sure between us we`ll get you motoring.. you must be handy with the tools yourself if your attempting a camper..
I did look at the current rules and as with everything to do with the revenue some of them are quite vague, it will need to be signed off on by an NSAI approved garage if not professionally converted.
I'm not very mechanically minded but have done a little panel beating when I was younger, started an apprenticeship but didn't see it through, hindsight and all that.
I'd say the CL is electric cos when the key is turned you can hear a whirring like in the newer cars but I'm not sure at all.
What's your opinion on generic parts like the water pump,are they ok or is it better spend the extra on original manufacturer parts?

You're right, depends on who's saying it and how it's meant, I have close friends in the community and I can call them things that if a stranger said it to them it would be lights out.same with any friends I guess.

I would love to travel to Ireland one day... I won't mention the word gypsy and if I think I see one then I will just act normal. Thank you for the advice... I am bummed out though... that Travelers are just normal people... I am still not clear on how the work and earn money with a closed society like they have. And I think I have pissed off some Irish traveler supporters. even managed to get a curse

most are fine, sometimes they can be a little rough cast and might need a rub of sandpaper here and there, to be honest if your not that mechanically minded you should get a garage you trust or comes recommended locally and have them do a timeing belt service on it, the water pump is sometimes controlled by the timeing belt so might have to come off anyways, some nissan engines are timeing chain so might be in=applicable in your situation, with it being a camper no matter what the guy you bought it off said get the belt done.....

No bother ae, its pretty simple. Basically the trackers are the middleman for the torrent, telling your utorrent who has the file and so on. If you add more trackers in you can bump up the number of people that are sharing the file. torrentz.eu is a pretty good site because they search all the torrenting websites for you and put the trackers in a nice and neat little list that utorrent understands. Here's an example from torrentz for Monsters Inc.

The little bit underlined in red is where you can get those trackers above it, just copy all the text from that page and put it into your torrent by double clicking it in utorrent when its downloading or right click and go to Properties. That big ass text box is where you can paste new trackers.

It's not your questions that are causing offense but rather how you are asking.
Nearly every traveller I have ever met in my 30+ years have a canny ability to make money, they deal in horses, they collect scrap and in general will buy and sell various things.
Like all aspects of society there is a criminal element in their community but if you compared the numbers to the rest of society there would be no notable difference.
A friend of mine is a multi-millionaire scrap dealer and he travels the country gathering old wrecks of cars and anything that can be recyled into scrap, he collects 99% of this for free because people just want rid of it off their properties, he also buys and sells used cars and he makes a lot of money from that also.This is the case with many travellers.

Impman you can stay on the thread just be respectful its very easy to do, nobody hates anyone on here and people make mistakes. So what do you know about growing? you do hydro or soil? what kind of set up do you have and what strains have you ran and what is your favorite and do you like sativa dome or indica doms more?

I've found no offence from Impman, said as much to him. If he had come in with 'gyppo' this 'gyppo' that I probably could have found some offence...

he hasn't offended me either but I think a few people took a little offence from him but nothing serious I don't believe.

anyway enough of that drama, impman is ok and I have no problem with him so lets get this thread back to the real topic's we are use to movies, grows, equipment, books etc.

I wasn't offended but there are many ways to ask a question without it sounding confrontational, it would probably be fair to say that Impman meant no offense but I do suspect he asked his questions with tongue firmly in cheek and was trying to provoke a response or two for his own entertainment.
