Here's a few other things the nastier amongst you can whine, moan, accuse and abuse about instead of appreciating an honest geezer and car and bike fanatic who's put his life and a fortune into motoring. How many of the keyboard warriors retired at 45, own three houses, five cars and a bike? Of those who can say yes how many have raced cars and bikes here and abroad? There's some good blokes on ph but also some scum which spoils it totally. I will never post again on ph can't be arsed but do come and say hello at a Tuesday meeting and let's see what you drive and what you've done. He will have all the photos to prove it as well as one of the three V8s adios. I will be there June and September. He goes to them all unless in USA like May meeting. Some of you need to look at yourself before slagging people you don't know. Put up or Stf up.
What is the relevance of when the guy retired etc?

Tbh you sound like you idolise this bloke a bit too much.

My suggestion is learn to accept the not everyone has the same views as you, that some people are tosses, that in some cases the tosser may be you and that its pretty sad to get ranty and emotional about an internet forum.

I've asked before, but what meeting on a Turesday night. I'd love to come if it's localish but can't just turn up at random locations.
Oh, I retired at 40 so I might have something in common wink

You forgot he's:

  • packing a trouser truncheon compared to our small weiners
  • has shoes made from alligators that he strangled and skinned himself
  • has a full head of lustrous hair with no grey or white bits in it
  • told the Pope to 'man up'
  • drank ten pints without once needing to go for a whizz
And his Dad is much, much harder than ours.

It's more than that.

Twinturbo's mate is called Dave and he knows everyone.

Dave kept telling twinturbo "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them."

Twinturbo called his bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?"

"No dramas TT, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Dave and TT fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door. Tom Cruise opens it and shouts, "Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!"

Although impressed, TT is still sceptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Dave says.

"President Obama," TT quickly retorts.

"Yup," Dave says, "Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington." And off they go.

At the White House, Bush spots Dave at the gate and motions him and TT over, saying, "Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."

Well, TT is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else.

"The Pope," TT replies.

"Sure!" says Dave. "I've known the Pope for years." So off they fly to Rome.

Dave and TT are assembled with the masses at the Vatican when Dave says,"This will never work. I can't catch the Popeâ's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope."

He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by the time Dave returns, he finds that TT has passed out and is surrounded by paramedics.

Making his way to TT's side, Dave asks him, "What happened?"

TT looks up and says, "It was the final straw – you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who the hell is that on the balcony with Dave?'"

I rarely if ever bother with ph now but the cowardly slagging of people on ph should be clamped down on much better by admin as it is on the bike and car forums I do frequent.
I was at the 02 in London with a good mate Corvette Convert last night who was accused of lying by six or seven jealous tossers here who hadn't the courage to face him and see his cars and bike as I did. We went to see Jeff Lynne and ELO.
Any of the libellous pricks who still need proof get along to the east Midlands classic car meet first Tuesday of each month. He was there in the Corvette last month and when he gets back from USA we will both be there first Tuesday in June either in the corvette or his V8 m3 coupe. Both have private elo plates so come and say hello to us and introduce your ph name and see for yourself.
The crap that made that bloke concentrate on yank forums was envious bollix and the six or seven of you should front up or shut up.
Ask yourself this how many if you fly business class 10 times a year? How many of you have worked for car and bike magazines? How many of you raised almost 200 grand for charity.
The bloke is an honest diamond so come and say hello in June.
Absolute comedy gold. Thank you greatly for the entertainment. rofl

There's people waiting for you to tell them where, IIRC - other than some vague "midlands" hand-wave.

Only when going on holiday...

Having met several motor magazine journalists, I think 'worked' is a strong description...

Between the wife and I, most years out of the last 10 or so...

Ah, at this point I shall have to decline - you see my friends not only have to be 'honest' and 'diamond', they also have to be 'geezers' too...

Did Obama know that Bush was still lurking about in the White House? wink

He never did say who he is so no one knows if what he says about the racing and journalism is true.

I'll also ask the question again which you keep ignoring. Who are three people you claim have been hounded off of here? As opposed to three people who have just decided not to post anymore.
