I'm a little surprised at Chris expressing his opinion publically here, especially as a moderator. I must say I found it most annoying when someone posted a similar response to an advert of mine, especially as he was in the business of making money from car sales. Of course, as far as I know that's not the case this time.
Good luck with the sale.

My first response is to say that I am a fully paid up member of the HUBB and have been for quite a few years, and as such I am entitled to my opinion. As is obvious, I am also one of the mods, and I have found that I have tended to refrain from commenting on numerous ocassoions due to this. However, I believe there is nothing wrong with airing my views or opinions as would/does anyone else on here.
This is a forum and as such all threads are open to comment, as long as they are not rude or abusive.
I had no 'intent' to sabotage or damage Barbara's chances of selling here LC, but made my opinion on the price only.
I note Barbara was very polite with her response, then Julian Voelker then replied with his opinion of the truck - I know Julian well and if he says it well worth the money and in excellent condition, then I would not hesitate to take his word for it.
So to Barbara, if any offence was perceived please accept my appologies, as there was no offence intended.
To Julian - for those of you who don't know him, Julian is 'Overland Cruisers' and probably the most technically skilled Land Cruiser mechanic in the UK - thanks for your comment, you have a better mechanical knowledge of the truck than anyone, so informed and to the point.
To Jamie, I don't appreciate the accusation that I sabotaged or damaged Barbara's thread, perhaps in some peoples opinion my comment was unjustified or a little harsh, but it was only intended as a statement of my opinion and if I'm honest, I thought it might stimulate some positive discussion and interest. I do not sell cars or trucks for a business or sideline.
Finally I just want to re-emphasise the fact that this is an open public/members forum, we are all grown up adults, hopefully!
We have our own views and opinions, and should be allowed to air them when we want without accusation or abuse. I hope everyone continues to enjoy the Hubb and its plethora of fascinating information.
Good luck with the sale
Chris
