I'm sorry, was I talking to you?

What's the matter darling, did your ickle powers not work on us? Please keep your sexism card to yourself. Bragging bout how you can outdo men and then wanting them to be real men? Seems a bit like you want your cake and eat it to me. So don't get your lacy knickers in a twist sweetcheeks as your are promoting chauvinisn, not me.
No. But I WAS talking to you. OK darling?

In case you forgot what you wrote it was YOU who stated that I only got a reply because I was female. That is chauvinism. Combined with all your condescending language and terminology referring to my lacy knickers and "sweet cheeks" etc. Laughable.

And 1. Does the fact a man can be outdone by a woman mean he is automatically less of a man? That is not what I was suggesting I was simply saying some men pose as real chaps and are no such thing and 2. What's the point in having cake that you aren't going to eat? What you wanna do - look at it?

It was you who was writing nasty sniping comments not me. Just be civil like everyone else on here.

And PS - I think it's fair to say that as I have so many replies to an allegedly uninteresting subject in the wrong section (your words I believe), I'd say my "powers" (whatever they may be) did work, wouldn't you? Now keep your skiddy boxers on and play nice. PPS - I take it noone responded to a forum you tried to set up, right?

whoosh, the irony went straight over your pretty little head. My condescending comments are deliberate. You want to play the little lady then I can play chauvinistic pig. smile Nothing in my first post was aimed at you, nor was I not being civil until you kicked off.. At something not aimed at you... So get over yourself, not everyone is going to sniff around you just cause you flutter your eyelids.

They weren't my words BTW. Someone else said that. So calm yourself down and run along, I think the ovens bleeping.

OOh...bhy! I thought I was supposed to be the girl, not you two?!

I'll tell you what's pathetic...making stupid odious comments like that when actually you have replied yourselves! If it's not worth your time go somewhere else and part your endless knowledge rather than make chauvinistic negative comments when actually everyone on here has been helpful and very kind giving their time to reply.

And what's wrong with knights in shining armour anyway? We live in a world where real men are hard to come by and for the most part when it comes to traditional "male" stuff I can out-drive, out reverse park, out over-take safely not like a tt, out-earn, out map read and out road rage most men I come across. I find myself propping up most guys I work with and meet and I'm talking about guys in Khaki suits who dodge bullets for a living so stick that in your exhaust pipes.
Well all of what you said in that second paragraph is fantastic. However if you didnt know the difference between a normal 3 series and an M3 your still a bit 'special' no matter what sex you are....

This is why all that HeForShe BS will never work - Women seem to think they are better than men at everything then complain when they can't do something themselves, blaming gender discrimination for it instead of their own lack of skills/intelligence.

It is also why HeForShe is not about UsForUs or any other kind of "equality".

Well this has gone off at a tangent...............

An M3 is a great car, great handling and great fun. There are issues with subframe cracking, so worth checking that out prior to parting with any money.

If you buy an '05 onwards (depending on your budget) then as long as it has a service history and is not heavily modified (suspension, brakes etc) then BMW will usually carry out the work under warranty.

Lots of debates around SMG vs Manual and the respective reliability. I had my SMG for four years and it never missed a beat, others have not been so lucky (SMG pump failure). I personally found the SMG very slick.

Check the running in service has been carried out and other than that they are pretty solid. Lots of them around but buy on condition and history over everything else, lots of cars have been neglected.

Good luck in your hunt and hope you find a good one.

I see as usual a perfectly straight post has taken its 'inevitable' PH turn. Personally I do not care is she has fluttered her eyes. So what? If a girl cannot flutter and get attention what is happening to the world - ? Asexuality is going to get us nowhere other than a population built on test tubes.

I think that unless you are an avid PH member or a BMW fan then it is only us nerds that can point out the differences between a 'M' and a non 'M'. That is why she posted on here.

In with hate and out with love and all that malarkey.

Perhaps the OP can update us with her final purchase.
