Robm77 - Legend!
Discussion
Afternoon Team,
I'm a lurker on this site, I love reading the general gassing posts.
One poster in particular always intrigues me and that is Robm77 - his posts are always interesting and a joy to read.
I love the way that you really "feel" a car when your driving them. IMO the majority of people get into a car, "push pedals" and "turn the wheel", but don't really "drive them".
I only drive a huumble (compared to some of the metal on here) 145 Cloverleaf, I absolutely love driving it though, the noise is spectacular (removed the intake manifold solenoid and has a KN cone filter). It has great feel too with direct inputs and a lively engine. The car is worth f*ck all, however I have a list of mods that I intend to make to the car - which possibly cost more than the value of the car - to improve handling and braking. IMO this is what driving is about!!

ks sometimes but he means well.Robm77 is a driving legend. He needs 100% feedback from the car 100% of the time, which is what it's all about. I often imagine that he could have made it in F1 if he'd been in the right place at the right time.
Unfortunately I picture him with a ponytail, silver-framed NHS glasses and a black Zidjian T-shirt, with a faux-leather mobile phone holder on his belt and a big bunch of keys.
Sadly he is unable to accept that people may choose to own cars that don't offer the "100% feedback 100% of the time" experience that is so vital.
Rob, you legend, post a picture of yourself!

thanks very much! I am very humbled to be a legend 
ps - sorry if any of my comments are taken the wrong way, I'm just on here to chat and make a few friends 
. I'll be the first to suggest a Yaris to someone wanting a shopping car or a Leyland Daf if they want to transport bricks around the country; however I do like to chat about driver's cars in detail, so sorry if sometimes I can get a bit too geeky!
