A quick check of your posting history reveals you drive a shopping trolley.

Yes you need to get a proper car

Gosh!

My car is not a shopping trolley. It's a 5 door van!

Anyways... i was in my other car which is a bit fast but not quiet fast enough

Edit - quite...quiet....on of them anyways

I see.....

A Honda Civic Type S per chance?

Mine is not a type S...

It's even more poverty.

It's just an S

I do maintain it is one of the best cars you can buy for the money. I might fit a hydraulic handbrake to it so that I can do handbrake turns easier.

Guys... Why the mother and school references?

Ahh now I see why you are here, dont feed him guys.

Do you think I won't fit a hydraulic handbrake in my car? You are calling me a troll aren't you? That's not very nice behaviour chap.

The car I had 3 cars ago had 2 piston sliding calipers. I upgraded to 4 pistons and decided I needed more. So I then upgraded to 6 pistons and became happy. My old car has 8 piston calipers

Not sure why you've started this thread, OP, but I'm sure you'll elaborate in time. Not sure what is meant by 'proper car'. Perhaps you do?

You can fit a hydraulic h/brake if you like - it will certainly help with handbrake turns, but you need to leave the cable one in as well, otherwise it will fail an MOT.

Enjoyed your 'readers car' entry.

I think the term 'thread not going the way you hoped OP' would be very apt here.

I was told to get a proper car by a fellow car enthusiast. My sad feelings originate from the manner in which said enthusiast spoke to me. He had sooo much venom in his voice. It was very disturbing actually

I started the thread in the hope that i would gain some sort of sympathy and feel a lot better for it afterwards

I will fit a hydraulic handbrake at some point so that if i decide to enter my car into an Autocross event it will aid in changing direction whilst having a trade off being 'looking cool'

Why do you folk keep using the term 'troll'?

In fact why be so hostile and negative towards someone? I find it a sad reflection on society in general when folk do their very best to find fault with a person rather than look for good. Maybe it's an indication of insecurity in the negative person who knows? Maybe it's just the 'stuck up, nose up, stiff lip' attitude that PH seems to be plagued with. Almost like playground bullying but by geeks in jumpers who live with their mothers rather than the hard kid off the local council estate.

I was genuinely expecting a little sympathy or at least an honest debate pinpointing exactly what a 'proper' car is? Maybe some of you folk are looking down upon me due to the car I use as my daily hack. Maybe I should speak about my other car which is considerably faster, petrol turbocharged, 18's and Bilsteins as standard and a Geisha goddess as the Sat Nav voice along with the on board oem web browser. Or maybe you want pics of my previous hacks on track or round the ring etc etc. I have them all which I might or might not 'do a thread' about them.

Oh, please please tell us about your other car! We're all so sorry for calling you a troll, it was silly of us. We certainly don't want to miss out on you telling us about your considerably faster car, if you would only deign to tell us.

 *grovel grovel, kowtow*


Or, get over yourself.

Apology accepted

I'm not quite sure what's happened in this thread...is OP sad he got told one of his cars is a bit crap, - yes

or is he willy waving because one of his other cars is...still a bit crap but in his eyes very very good? - you don't know what it is so to make such a comment makes you no better than a bully

or is he just giggling about, pulling our leg? - I don't see the funny side

I dunno - clearly

Fuxk me.... Aren't you lot a bunch of Sherlocks.

Of course I am telling the truth. Why would someone lie about cars they've owned? I'll post up readers cars thread in due course.

Strange that looks like 2 different cars.

It's actually three different cars.

All Subaru Legacy GTBs and all mine at some stage. I love them

However my current 'other car' is a JDM Legacy Twinscroll Turbo. It's like a refined Impreza wearing a suit. The Legacy doesn't quite have the same stigma attached to it (which the Impreza clearly does). Although I think the Twinscroll is great there is an incline inside of me saying I should have got the estate version instead.
