Some Tuesday night ranting - Stupid People and the fact that I don't sell anything on this website!!!!!!!


I recently got a couple of e-mails that I consider as inappropriate and slightly strange. Most of you folks out there know that motoring-malaysia.blogspot.com is a website that provides information, knowledge, opinions and reviews about all automotive related stuff. Some would also know that I test cars and write stuff for other automotive websites too (not so much anymore) but most of you can tell that I do not sell anything at all through the site. 

I mean is it stated anywhere that I am an agent or a dealer or a distributor of any automotive related product? Where? I have been managing my own website and the only things I can see that are promoting stuff are the ads on the website. Those ads do not even relate to the strange requests I get. Like this two below.

Comment: Dear admin Heico....

Interested in putting the front grill and the bottom grill (which is above the plate number)...for my XC90 (2008)..

Where can I get those thing (shop or contact number)

Thanks you for your time....



Answer to EMAIL #1


In email #1 I have somehow become administrator of Heico. The company that does aftermarket performance parts for Volvo cars tuner HEICO. Did I state anywhere in my site that I personally know people from Heico? No. Then why did the person ask me? Personally I think the 2008 XC90 that he wants to mod should be kept stock as he may need the money to go to school or college or some refresher course in rational thinking. You do not make someone who runs a motoring website as administrator of Heico in an instant. That person needs to spend his money not on a grille but on logical thinking classes. Nowhere on my website says that I am with Heico or associated with Heico or sell Heico parts. Wouldn't it be simpler to just GOOGLE Heico Volvo and get their contact details? Just because I once or twice reviewed Heico Volvo and it came up while you were searching online it does not mean I am associated with the company lah dei!!!!! Read and understand. Is that so hard?

Here is a link to Heico just in case someone as blur as the poster of that email wants it - www.heicosportiv.de/en

Hello? I remember writing about HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE BATTERIES. No where in the article did it state I sell the batteries lahhhhhh!!!!!!!! 

These two examples above are the tip of the iceberg. I have received many more. I have come to the conclusion that there are some Malaysians (and some from Mars or elsewhere) that they cannot understand reviews and news or the fact that it is NOT STATED ANYWHERE in the website that I sell stuff. Why are these people so dense? Why is it so hard to search for hitachi automotive batteries on Google???? Or if the person read the article published on motoring-malaysia they would have found out who the distributors of the product are and GOOGLEd them instead - Let me give a clue - Borneo Technical Co (M) Sdn Bhd (Borneo Technical).

Read. Read and understand before asking. Is that so bloody hard? Sales Operation Clerk. Haiyoh. If I had employees like this they wouldn't be my employees for long. 

Sorry folks. Had to let out some steam. The thought of so many people who are actually just like the chap who supposedly has a CGPA of 3.85 is getting to me.
