Exactly! 
And, given the way the 'average PHer' is queuing up for his turn to loudly deny the list and deride the OP, I suspect it's a little nearer the truth than is comfortable...
Yes exactly, they are so consumed with rage they've failed to see where I asked what their idea of the typical pistonheads member is. Typical doesn't mean all. Some of the responses show the same idiotic response as other threads, especially the one quoting from another thread and the one saying I'm on minimum wage.And, given the way the 'average PHer' is queuing up for his turn to loudly deny the list and deride the OP, I suspect it's a little nearer the truth than is comfortable...
PH - Comprehension Matters!
It reminded me a bit of this, posted here years ago on a discussion on a PH TV show (and how bad it would be):

It's 11pm and while most 40 year old men are tucked up with their wives, Keith has just finished installing a new drop link on the front suspension of his 1998 TVR Tuscan S [I don't care] and still has a few more hours work to go. After a few hours sleep he'll drive to the Telecoms centre, where he supports 300 staff with their IT needs, in his self-declared 'snotter' - a 1998 Alpina E39 530i[I don't care].
Throughout the week he'll post updates on the improvements on an Internet Forum where other enthusiasts will argue to the nth degree about everything from small engineering to which is the best website to find dates on. Keith is considered a bit of an expert on dating, having maintained a profile on Match.com for over 7 years and is always available to critique other profile and offer advice. Keith's last significant relationship was 26 years ago and lasted 3 weeks.
Come the weekend, they'll be no socialising with family and friends, it's a day of marshalling at the local go-kart track on Saturday followed up with Sunday Service on Sunday. A reverent day of meeting like minded, white, enthusiasts and discussing the latest happening in the motor world.
This is the bizarre world of Pistonheads and over the next hour we'll take you through some of the more bizarre members of this strange club.

I can say proudly that I drive a turbo charged VW GOLF on finance and love browsing my IPHONE 6! I'm also 23 and thin, no mortgage and think the e46 M3 is a bit council! My car is depreciating like anything and I bloody love it!
Once the finance is done on my GTi, I would love to upgrade to an R.

Some while ago I was in a petrol station filling up and I saw a middle aged man pull in driving a Vauxhall Vectra SRI with an Irmscher quad headlight conversion. He got out and was wearing a bright red padded 'Honda Racing' anorak. 'I bet he's on Pistonheads' I thought. And no, I didn't engage him in conversation to find out..!

correcting people's spelling...
I'll give you that one just so that I can point out you've spelled 'shed' incorrectly twice. It's not even a big word.
it's:
peoples'
not people's

Am I correct in thinking that the OP has a VAG car and an iPhone?
