I don't think that is a cringeworthy thread.

Just founf when the OP said 'How do I go about reporting it to the police', a bit cringey, just mind your own business.

Dear Total Prick From An Internet Forum, I have a Discovery 4 as a family car and a Fiesta as a runabout but I want to treat myself to a ‘weekend car’. Ideally this will be something fun to drive with two seats and a soft top, budget around £25,000. A second-hand Boxster seems to fit the bill, but am I missing anything else? Greg, Woking

Total Prick From An Internet Forum replies… First of all, welcome to the forum. Play by the rules, show some respect and we’ll get along fine. You can ask anyone here what I’m like if that doesn’t happen. Secondly, you are so wrong it’s unbelievable. In my personal experience of reading about other people who have Boxsters they are terrible, unreliable and useless. Big mistake. The only car you should consider is the Honda Civic Type-S. I’ve had mine for four years now, it’s given no trouble and it gets admiring glances wherever I go. It’s literally the best car I’ve ever owned and if you consider anything else, you’re an even bigger moron than you sound.

Dear Total Prick From An Internet Forum, I was approaching a roundabout two days ago when a biker raced up my inside and came so close he smashed my passenger side mirror. He must have noticed but he just rode off at speed and I didn’t get his reg number. Now I regret not giving chase. What would you have done? Pete, Birmingham

Total Prick From An Internet Forum replies… I simply cannot believe you have posted this. Some random damages your car and you let him get away with it? Pathetic. If that was me and a biker damaged my HCT-S they would remember that day for more than one reason although I doubt I would find myself in that situation in the first place as I’m quite powerfully built for my size and I’ve read a lot about martial arts so any joker would know not to mess. Hey, you made the decision to let him go and that’s your choice. I’m just saying, it’s not what I would have done.

Dear Total Prick From An Internet Forum, Hi there! My name’s Becky and I’m a researcher on an amazing new TV show about people who love their cars more than anything else! I wondered if you or any of the guys on your forum would fit that description and would be willing to take part in some filming! If you’re interested, mail me at [e-mail]. Thanks! Becky, London

Total Prick From An Internet Forum replies… I must have missed the memo about this becoming the ‘do people’s jobs for them forum’. Show some courtesy you moron. This is not your personal research service and the sooner you realise that the better. I have also sent you an email about this. Please check your spam in case it has gone in there. If you call the home number and my mum or dad answer, just ask for me by my real name. Thanks!''

It's true. It's just lifted from PH.

What have we become!

I found this older one there. Spot on.


Dear Total Prick From An Internet Forum, I’ve got a beautiful blue Citroen Saxo. I call her Sadie! Does anyone else have a Saxo! I love my Saxo!!! Claire, Guildford

A Total Prick From An Internet Forum replies… Hey Claire! Welcome to the site! Like the sound of your Saxo! Great cars! I see you’re in Guildford. That’s not far from me. You might see me around sometimes in my black Honda Civic Type-S. We should have a forum meet-up some time! Hope you’re still enjoying your Saxo! Do you have any pictures of yourself in your Saxo? Take care. TPFAIF x

I've noticed new users to the HSV and Monaro forum are often told 'Welcome to the madhouse'. Makes me grimace every time.

Haha, one of my closest, favourite pet hates. Also people just saying they are "maaad" or wacky.

I've dislocated half my toes just repeating the phrase.

I sensed a lot of sexual tension, they should just give in to their urges.

It's not often I feel sorry for people from the internet but I really feel sorry for those two.

They just don't get it.

I came in here to post that, Vladimir torpedoes another thread with drivel.

Here is one that had me cringing

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Junior supercar? Really? I would imagine other owners of the same car would probably assert that Wladimir does not speak on their behalf and all opinions expressed are entirely his own. It's like that classic where 300bhp/ton tried to infer that the Smart Roadster was in the same league as a TVR Chimaera because he "kept up" with one "in the twisties".

There are some peaches on the Aston thread.

I'm sure I've read this thread - or one very very close to it - on PH in the last 3 months.

The forums are getting cringeworthy. I use them while at work to get through the dull times, but I can't remember the last time I logged on from home. If I want to watch people bh about the smallest fking pedantic detail, I'll watch Jeremy Kyle or PMQs - rather than come on here and have the usual suspects look for something, anything to argue with.

The thread with the chap with the 640d GC was horrible, although fair play to the OP he took it in good humour. Notwithstanding a ridiculous amount of bhing by others.

ETA at some (one) of the recent entries on the "frivolous purchases" thread, just screams of internet willy-waving and the hope of huge sycophancy.

Surely that Vladimir is just on a wind up? Similar to that S-Line guy that just banged on about Audi's in every "What Car?" thread.

Vladimir must have pissed off as his profile is not available to view.

[Justin Cyder]

I think he wasn't quite right. There was a thread in Health asking about shoulder problems. Vladimir mentioned he'd had several dislocations & then I came along with a similar tale of woe & my post garnered a little attention which in turn led Vladimir to complain volubly & at length that he wasn't receiving enough attention as he'd had direct experience of shoulder injuries.

Cue gags about chips on shoulders followed by self deletion of posts. it all made you conclude he might have been a slightly precious flower.

[limpsfield]

I hope he hasn't gone- I used to always look out for him on threads.

Does anyone know what car he had?
