Dude are the troll here.
I don't troll forums I posted my Lotus build so that other Lotus owners that are not posers might want to take advantage of my R$D and save time and money doing modifications that work in the real world without getting ripped off.
Consensus suggests otherwise.

Regardless, no-one is claiming that posting your Lotus build was trolling - that was interesting for most people on here.

I expressed my opinion on the GT3 vs my Turbo S in the real world but in no way am I trolling with painted keys and toy rotors hanging on them, that's for certain GT3 trolls to do...
Perhaps you don't understand what 'trolling' means?

Troll away sidicks in your poser mobile.... I wonder what seats and harness setup you have in your wanna be racer ?
No posing required - the car is for driving, not posing. Ironically, as good a car as the Turbo is, most people would suggest that the Turbo is the 'poser's car' and the GT3 is for people who understand 'driving'...

I have bucket seats - no need for harnesses in a car to be used predominantly on the road...

What 'R spec' tyres? - Standard tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's.

Ronin is not a troll he is a "wandering samurai with no Lord or master."
All car and no dick. wink

Edited to add: although having your key painted to match your car is a bit dubious smile

He seems to be very punchy to me, really trying to wind people up for some reason. I couldn't get myself that worked up over a car tbh, especially one that I dont even own. The main thrust of his contention seems to be that he believes the Turbo S is a better car than the GT3, fair enough mate, move on. A very strange thread indeed but nonetheless fun to watch.

Waiting for the next rant.

Don't understand why Ronin is so adamant on slating GT3's and struggle accepting not everyone agree with his views.

A 991TS is a lowly car and so is the GT3, not all settings are the same, some will suit one more than the other. Personally I couldn't imagine it much fun having to drive a TS on track but whatever, for some it might be perfect.
I assume you mean 'lovely'?!

Apparently he's renowned for trolling the forums and sharing his 'robust' opinions. I think Pistonheads is his current favourite haunt for this purpose!
Haha yes lovely, didn't wanna stir things up.. Just struggle understanding the level of rudeness applied, both LOVELY cars smile TS a nice road fiddle car that can be used occasionally on track, GT3 visa versa.

Trolling is a sad reality of modern social media, best countered by ignoring.

You expect it from 17-year old boys but not 70-year old 'men'!!

I'm surprised by your comment. ... I thought you above all this ego twaddle...... Though I think the OP had guts to argue he wasn't that impressed with the GT3 if he wasn't just trolling.

It was tongue in cheek and not my normal style.
But the OP is a major wind up merchant - however valid his argument may be.

Hi R, 32 cars in total and it went unbelievably well, no hitches except for 2 runners having a puncture, no BiB, no hassles, a bunch of petrolheads who just jelled immediately, the whole trip was fantastic...it couldn't have gone better. Shocks and his wife put together a belter!

LindsayMac, beautiful pic ! not so easy to arrange in Scotland weeping


This Dude from Merica, just likes to wave his Willy & wind folk (who are daft enough to take the Bait) up.

I am a lowly 996turbo (with 9emods) owner, who would happily accept a 991turbo s/991gt3 . . but, if you want a REAL smile it'll maybe have to be a 991gt3rs (Orange thanks lick )


I find this level of antagonising/winding up of fellow Porsche enthusiasts quite juvenile, and a massive reflection on the maturity/worldlinesss of the Twunts who seem determined to participate even after being shunned by the majority.

We all have our "own views" , those of us with some manners/intelligence/education/imagination have developed an ability to see them as . . . . our "own views", perhaps this concept is still traversing the Atlantic. . . . . . .
