What's happened to Pete?
Turbo Mini Forums

I was looking at a couple of his posts the other day and I noticed that his sig has changed to the following:

No longer a TM contributor but if I can help you off site then email mini1071s@hotmail.com and I will be pleased to help. Cheers.

and quite a few of his posts have been deleted:

It was only the other day that Sprocket stopped posting as well. It's a shame as both of them had different approaches to the tried & tested methods and they both new there arse hole from there exhaust elbow.

We're not turning into TMF are we?

I think TM is perfectly healthy with or without them. Their loss not mine as far as I'm concerned.

I'll be happy to by both a pint at Avon if they turn up.

I'm as interested as anyone in seeing ANY of Petes minis, anyone catch him at the riv run? seems a shame that he said he went but didn't bother to make himself known to other members who were there in well known (to TM) cars!

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

no way not another two members lost :(:(

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

i offered to meet pete and even gave my number

Personally i dont believe much of what he said was true to be honest

He's going back and deleting his posts now?

Thats fucking sad IMO.

No one made him leave, not me, not TD, not anyone other than himself!

i like pete, but dont see anything wrong with people asking for him to back up his acheivements with a few pictures, i mean come on pete!

Doing such radical 'out there' stuff and being so secretive about it all is basically an invitation for accusations of all kinds, spitting his dummy because some people showed scepticism towards some of his claims is really a bit silly, come on now...

I havent seen any, but if he is deleting his old posts out of 'spite' or whatever, well thats like going home and taking your football with you, get a grip pete!

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

shame shame shame never mind, if he has chosen the path of the dark side then so be it, but once you start on the path of the dark side there is no return

remember anger....hate....fear... these all lead to suffering young jedi's

well Pete, nice knowing you, you were helpfull, a shame to leave under a cloud without any explanation but that i guess is the way it needs to be in ure eyes. good luck with everything you do.


cheers

Richie

Just because he didnt share all his info doesnt mean he didnt do any of it, from what i gathered he was just insanely busy.

for some reason the word mcarthy jumps to mind..

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Which point was this did i miss something?

Wether or not Peter's project existed to the extent he claimed is a matter of conjecture.

However, fact of the matter is that he was one of the most valuable contributors to this forum. He must have spent hours answering questions from Newbies. He technical knowledge was vast and he was one of a few on here who tried to push the boundaries of what we know and understand about turbocharging.

Fact is, in my opinion, a lot of the people who regularly frequent this forum, moderators (particularly the bench racers), self proclaimed experts included, are not fit to lick his boots.

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Definitely genuine he bought some slicks from me!

I stand corrected. You should know

Well, I can only assume that you guys didn't spend hours writing articles for 'maga7ine' to hear nothing at all back.

Or in the case of one site member - who arranged a cool site for a photoshoot, arranged a photographer, and wrote the words, and sent it to 'magazine' only to recieve ZERO communications via telephone, email to several addresses AND the PM facility on here (which proved they were being read, just not answered), then folks start to get a little pissed.

Look, I cannot agree more that his posts were informative, and that he DID bring value to the site (I say DID - because they are now not there anymore in many topics).

However, I am not about to lick any boots of a false prophet.
