What car forums are really like

Posts like that would start a Grammar war on here...

Not now, Renault12ts has been de-commissioned and put beyond use.

Google does work quite well for finding things you know!!!



Here let me do it for you..

A typical day in the life of a motoring internet forum - PistonHeads

So kind, 'specially seeing as how I couldn't be ****d myself and I just knew one of you good'ol southern boys would oblige.

Better comments on here all the same.

I was thinking that the original post was " ironic ". Would that be correct as I love irony?

 

[Howard]

- Someone with a highly tuned car posts an unreadable graph taken from a rolling road session, along with an outlandish, Veyron-withering claim about how much power they have. A patently quite clever person delivers a short lecture about frictional losses. Three patently quite stupid people try to argue with him.

Hahaha

Seen this a few times I think

...where is Mocas?

 

[Charles Morgan]

ah ha.

Not telling...

Well, I have a girlfriend who drives a W203!

Somebody refers to himself as having a girlfriend scotching any rumours questioning his preferences.



........joke

 

[crockers]

Where's the proof.

Don't forget the forum rich kid who's car is running 700 bhp and they're only 19, the post count obsessives who reply to anything and everything, and not forgetting the forum clique who post in every thread and eventually move it way off topic.

Surely not; there does not appear to be any grammar in it.....

On a slightly more serious note, and having just had a quick look on Pistonheads, I wonder why, judging by the posts on this forum, MB cars don't appear to attract the barely-literate or the semi-literate? Is it the image, or simply that those of them who own MB cars are overawed by this forum and just don't post? Or could it be that the mods are less tolerant of abuse?

Whyever it may be, I wouldn't change it.

Oh, and by the way, the correct plural of 'forum' is 'fora'...

Someone describes Rovers as rubbish. Someone else vehemently defends them.

The only part of stwat's post which I find not credible; - the defending them bit I mean.

Ah yes, the newbies who come on...I'm only 17 and getting my first Merc...makes me puke.

By the way, not being cack-handed...but is it true the PM only earns £150,000...a year???!!!

Depends how you define 'earns'.

Earns, gets paid etc...is that all? Or, were you going off topic? LOL

 

[E55BOF]

No, but I believe he has a substantial private income as well.

Nothing wrong with Rovers. I had a 620ti for 4 years and apart from normal servicing the only things to go wrong were the clutch slave cylinder and the battery.
Had a 416si for nearly 2 years with no problems.

 

[renault12ts]

Rovers are rubbish...well those that are left are rubbish.

Thank the lord our forum isn't like that!

Don't push so hard with your tongue, you'll hurt your cheek!

Oh and by the way, with respect, you need to research the plural of 'forum'. It can depend on which forum you mean.

Perhaps, but then he has fewer expenses than most....
