Dont know what is wrong with showing you have something nice and new, deciding someone is a "show off" when really he is just eager to talk about his new car, which is a big deal to him, like it is to all us car perverts, are we only able to mention our new wheels if under two grand and a bit dog eared ? however you cut it, with a 50 grand car it can come across a bit look at me, so what ?
Ill exlain the 'show off' comment I made. In his original thread, the title basically said I've made an impulse purchase of £75K on the best car in the 'real' world.To me that's a bit showy offy, theres no need to mention the price (especially as we find out later he hasn't paid that amount anyway).
Anyway thats just my opinion.

Indeed. When I don't lambast you for yours. Why lambast me for mine?
I'm not lambasting you for your choice of car.I'll tell you what...I'll stop replying to your comments. Perhaps for the sake of cordiality, you should do the same.

Yeah, true, can see that but we dont live in a Stalinist regime, sometimes we have something good to tell others about, got to take your chances when you can, he is pleased with it and excited, let him have his moment, probably years of studying, working, saving, struggling etc to get to the point where he could afford it.

I did let hm have his moment, I didn't comment on the original thread which I found show iffy, the fact that he then started another was double 'show iffy' so had to comment ;-)Sod being all humble and modest, it just doesnt work when doing a thread about a 75/50 grand car !

Now perhaps you can pretend this is a car forum for petrol-heads rather than a forum to discuss the nuances of the English Language and Vernacular.
Jeez... you made a (bold) statement about a car and we are discussing it, or do you just want people to say how amazing your new '£75K' car is.Tomato/Tomato
