Nonsense spouted on this forum…

These are all statements that have been made in the past on this forum.... 
997 GT3 needs bucket seats otherwise its rubbish
Speccing a car without air-con makes you a ‘real driver’
Speccing PCCB brakes is pointless on a road car
Speccing deviated stitching/bluetooth/PCM means you are not interested in how the car drives and only like the trinkets
Leaving the geo ’stock’ is best as YOU dont know better than Porsche
Using the paddles on a PDK gearbox is just as involving as using a normal manual gearbox
Any more?
P.S I recently said - The replacement of the 6 cylinder NA engine is a step-back from an enjoyment and emotional perspective (anyone who argues otherwise is being disingenuous)
This should also be added to the list

Mezger has been over rated by a few forum nutters for years !!
It was just a solid unit while the normal engine blew up or failed from 2005 to 2010 add to that the 2014 991 GT3 engine issues and the Mezger gained even more "king of the engines title"
great on track but having to find >6k on the road to feel alive was impossible.
911R looks great, spec is great shame we may never see a manual GT3 again....

Well V8KSN I think the best example came from you back in March:
"I have decided to move on to pastures more practical than a 997 GT3 so I am selling it and buying a BMW M2!
Porsche ownership has truly been a delight and I honestly feel that I will never own or drive a car more infused with feeling and character than my GT3, its a truly wondrous sports car (as are most Porsches) but its time to move on (down?) to something more useful to ferry more than one passenger and luggage.
Met some great characters on and off this forum and I am extremely sad to leave the world of Porsche but......family comes first! biggrin
Goodbye and good luck to you all.....I may be back one day......hopefully not in a Panamera hehe"
Knew you wouldn't/couldn't do it!

So right Amanda! Don't know what I was thinking! 
The GT3 has now been 'demoted' to weekend drives and euro hoons and i'm using a 3 series for work and the wife has the X3.
Plenty of years left in me to pay the mortgage off
