The "Typical" PHer - What's your view?
Discussion
I'm sure we all have a idea of what a typical PHer is like based on the large amount of drivel posted on this forum. What's your view on a user?
Mine would be
35-55
Bit of a belly
2 kids
Loveless marriage but stay together for the mortgage
Sex on birthday and anniversary (if he remembers) which will be totally unfulfilling for the wife,and of course in the missionary position so they look like a uncooked chicken, leading her to have a affair with someone 15 years younger
Mortgage, with a BTL investment, doesn't believe in credit cards or the " never never" and prefers to over pay on the mortgage, which is opposite to his stay at home wife who is so bored she's redecorating the kitchen for the 13th time this year and buying up the contents of Laura Ashley quicker than they can make it
House in the "commuter belt" on a Barrett estate
Said house is "connected" with Sonus, cat 6 everywhere and remote CCTV ( to watch the wife get porked while he's working 18 hours a day at the office)
Uses phrases like " pull the trigger" on something exciting but then runs a station car or a shead along with a " toy" for the weekend.
Ignores said wife for "toy" ironically of course because she is doing the same
Uses the term " appreciating asset" every time someone talks about buying a bloody BMW e46 m3
Gloates about how he could never " spunk" £30k on a depesicating asset either, or spend £200 s month to " rent a golf" when in reality he would love a new car because the " shead" keeps breaking down
Keeps a spreadsheet of such costs, so he can sleep at night knowing he's not renting a German "s
tbox or European shopping trolley"
Hates all things VAG, all things automatic, anything with a turbo...
Says the gt86 would be the perfect car if it had a turbo
Talks about going on track days, when he once did a supercar experience and it scared him
Contributes to the " a bit council thread" and looks down on anyone with less than a £100,000 salary and says he can only just " get by" when in reality he's on £35k
Refuses to use a iPhone because of " sheep conformity"
Won't buy anything branded as its " council" instead wears weird fish polo shirts and the same pair of Levi's he's had since he was 20.
Spends most of his working day, at the job he hates, sitting on pistonheads, correcting people's spelling, slagging off the golf R, creaming himself when someone delivers a thread like the current 135i one running. Then goes to the pub to talk about work as he is dull.
Oh and he loves the junior supercar m135i, when in relality it's just a bit dull like him.

Exactly! 
And, given the way the 'average PHer' is queuing up for his turn to loudly deny the list and deride the OP, I suspect it's a little nearer the truth than is comfortable...
Yes exactly, they are so consumed with rage they've failed to see where I asked what their idea of the typical pistonheads member is. Typical doesn't mean all. Some of the responses show the same idiotic response as other threads, especially the one quoting from another thread and the one saying I'm on minimum wage.And, given the way the 'average PHer' is queuing up for his turn to loudly deny the list and deride the OP, I suspect it's a little nearer the truth than is comfortable...

Am I correct in thinking that the OP has a VAG car and an iPhone?
