If you do, have a look here and be glad you bought something from Blackpool! Seconds out, Round 22!

Blimey, that was nasty!

I only read the first and last page but I think I got the gist. How could anyone get so wound up over their car and lob insults on the internet?

Apart from those chest wig wearing Griff drivers of course

What a bunch of sad toss*rs....

Let's hope for their wives sakes that their c*cks aren't half as big as their over inflated egos, or there'll be a hell of alot of john wayne walk-a-likes wandering round Chelsea!

actually, theres some prime idiocy on that thread. its so bad its actually good.

i heartily recommend you take the time to read it, i participated pretty solidly to begin with and am happy to say i upset quite a few of them, but then that londonplonker chap showed up and it all got reeeeaaaallly strange.

really worth 10 mins of your time, if only to see me being sensible for once.

Ferraris look great, but sound like something farting.

Porsches are great too, but also sound crap.

If I had (or like most - borrowed) the cash, I wouldn't buy either, for that reason alone.

It seems that there are often a couple of people who turn up in threads which have nothign to do with them and start posting all sorts of garbage, maily designed to anger people then resort to personal insults. I can think of a few recent threads in the TVR forums where a couple of Porsche guys have done this. What it achieves is nothing?

They get to feed their ego about how great they are and annoy everyone else. They also serve to lower the tone of the whole site.

Sadly there are also those who are jealous of what others have, and what they can't afford.

Blimey and they say religion stirs the emotions.
I lost the will to read on after about 6 pages or so...don't really see what the bother is about, go to the city mon-fri and you can be guaranteed to see a huge convoy of porkers(porxsters/911's) nose to tail revving engine's going no where quick only difference being they don't know their in a convoy they just all happen to have bought the same car

I found it all quite amusing and read all 22 pages of it. The two antagonists sounded like they had too much caffeine and then turned on a fellow Porsche owner!

Nervy, you acquitted yourself rather well I thought. Shame the humour was wasted on some.

Without naming names, I did wonder if one of the alleged Porsche owning trolls was a certain Ferrari owner that I had the misfortune to come across when I seriously looked at a 360 last year.

Rather stupidly I looked to Ferrarichat for advice and was hounded down by this one individual as to my female status. He incorrectly assumed I was male having fun at their expense.

Sadly this same individual has "found" Pistonheads and as I understand it is continually causing trouble.

The similarities between having to prove I was female and fulham having to prove he owned a Porsche look all too similar.

I think we all have to remember this is the internet and people can say what they want, be who they want on a forum...! Im sure that most of these are just kids having a laugh and pretending to be an adult with a Porsche! If they are actually adults then .........

There has, however, been quite a few of these type of threads and it appears that some of them are actually owners which is hard to believe!! and if you dont like their car, they are so arrogant that they start gatting personal, giving insults and insisting that everyone would love to have their car but cant afford it???? If their mind is that narrow how on earth does their brain fit in..........come to think of it that explains it...

Ok nice cars and it would be a bit hypocritical having a go for meeting up and driving round, but sitting there at the lights revving the engine??

I really did think they sounded nicer than that, sounds like a high revving moped... maybe just the sound quality but still.

The nicest thing about that thread is that everyone originally started in on the fezza owners, but because all the antagonists put up such a piss poor arguement, in the end most people were totally on the side of the Rev-ellers. like a riot, but without the organisation.

theres also a couple of nice moments where you can almost hear london porker being called in for his tea. bless.

Its no different to a bunch of Tiv owners driving through a tunnel. Just people out enjoying their cars, and getting a kick from other people watching.
