It ain't sold 'til it's sold. It's under offer. Come and gloat when you've got the keys to the new place and post a pic of a tin of birds on the doorstep wink

It is if you're robbing the place...

Yes, you're right. You could indeed.

Bottom line is if someone claims to have a <insert dream car here> then I am happy for them to make that claim. Whether they are telling the truth or not is not important to me. It might matter if they decided to sell it, of course, and that would involve some sort of deception.
It's when you get the likes of PageJobe (the tt in the pictures below) that it becomes a problem, he came asking loads of advice about getting a Maserati or a Porsche as a company car and loads of people put effort in finding out information about tax and employment car allowances etc just so he could get off on his sad little wet dream.

Wastes alot of good knowledgeable peoples time and stops them posting information in the future to someone who actually needs it!

Does that actually matter... yes it is annoying that it was a wet dream for one person, but the information is very useful to anyone who finds the thread and is genuinely looking for one. Thus it is not a total waste.

I tend to agree. It depends on the questions being asked being relevant to others or not though, doesn't it?

In some respects, I'm as guilty PageJobe; had some advice on the Aston part of PH, but then ditched my plans after a more realistic review of the man-maths involved in the project. Okay, so it was well meant, but still no custard test - I never got an Aston. :getmecaot:

Don't see why people are so untrustworthy until they see proof.
Because they know how much they themselves lie, so assume everyone else does to a similar or greater degree. They're always caught out by people who don't need their ego massaged/choices validated by random strangers on the internet and as such don't tell tall tales.

Or something like that anyway hehe

It fking annoys me when that word is misused.

So if someone said "What, your brain actually collapsed?" what would you say?
"Well, no not literally"

shoot

Buzz, are you Anneka Rice? She's loves saying that word, literally all the fking time!

And, relax. smile
