IMO, people are welcome to post whatever hilarious/mildly offensive/passive aggressive inappropriate car suggesting bks they want. Just so long as they limit their bovine bowel evacuations to a few threads per week, rather than dominating every conversation.

What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fkin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fkin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

Exactly! You need a bit of that to keep things interesting, otherwise PH would just be a circle jerk of CTR/BMW/MX5 drivers talking about finance packages and dabs of oppo.
There's inane posting(guilty of that myself) but the passive aggressive under tone really irked me.

Whilst I look back at the 300/ton character with nostalgia, I have to admit it had started to get stale - almost like he'd become self aware and was trying to "out-ton" himself when suggesting a Semi truck as an alternative to a Fiat 500 for the London commute. The good thing is that with a population the size of PH, another one will come along in time - every forum has 1 or more special people that have a mad outlook and loads of conviction - it'd be quite boring without them.
In the meantime, we still have a few other characters on here for amusement - and unless Matt77 leaves, there'll be enough Stetson on the forum to keep us north of the country average.

To be fair, he's probably right on that score.

You see a lot of insults being cast, and I don't for one minute believe that the same people would talk to a stranger face to face in such a way. PH, and internet forums in general, are home to a lot of "characters" who's online personality doesn't reflect much on their "real life" one.

Cockwomble7 was a perfect example of this. He came over as being a real tt at times, and was properly nasty in some of his comments to people, yet quite a few PH'ers have met him in person and have said that he's a really good guy. CW7 himself admitted as much, in that he played up because the nature of the forum allowed him to do so.

So, yeah, I'm with Vlad on that one. Would you say whatever you're about to write to person's face? If the answer is no, don't write it.

Then there would be hardly any interaction, dispute or debate. Everyone just being nice to each other and saying how nice their crappy cars are....Boring.

Vlad was hilarious, I've never come across someone else that had to justify absolutely everything or every car he had and then try and put you down in the same sentence. Pathetic but funny.

Theres so much to choose from when it comes to 300 bhp/ton - but I think this thread sums him up nicely.

True but conversely, those same people wouldn't say what they wrote to someone's face. If they did then quite a few of us would be inclined to mock them to their face. Someone getting all 'Loadsa Money' over a van or a coat hanger vendors utility transport is well worth having a pop at for fun.

One of the funniest things about these kind of nobheads is that you see otherwise sensible people rising to the bait and saying cringe-worthy things like that they have even more money than him.

He was a very delicate flower but if you sanitise a forum too much then it becomes boring.
A lot of very informed people seem to have become bored and left and PH seem to have kicked out a few too many nobbers. All that means is that the weight of low level guff about dull cars gets more dominant.
Quite.
I was rather upset to see those threads about the 1.6 Civic locked.
I'm probably one of the nobbers though silly

That was interesting reading. I'm surprised that nobody has posted the picture of him wearing his hat. Or even better the photoshoped chipmunk version.

Wasn't it 300 that said he was quicker down country lane in a Smart roadster or some such rubbish than a load of TVR's?
