Guardian-to-Pistonheads link

[BOR]

I've just seen that the link from The Guardian's motoring page to www.Pistonheads.com (NOT .co.uk)is now active, and I just wanted to suggest that we tone down our usual rabid right-wing fascist, tory loving, green hating, lentilist bating posts in favour of a more inclusive, caring, leftist, environmentalist style of posting for a few days to avoid alienating new visitors to the site.

Nothing too radical, just be yourselves but basically a bit nicer.

Would that be OK ?

Up yours "leftie" - bring it on I say!!

[cazzer]

no

The Guardian have a motoring page?

[birdbrain]

FFS, does no-one on this site know how to spell the word LENTIL?

So not only are the Guardian readers going to think that PHers are all a bunch of fascist right-wingers but that they're all illiterate as well.

They road test the Prius every week and it wins all their awards. I bit like Evo and those tuned Volkswagens.

Would this be the wrong time to organise a lynch mob to go and burn down the Guardians Offices.

Honestly, who gives a shit about the opinions of Guardian readers?

I'm suprised its still a broadsheet to be honest, I dont understand how its readers have the strength to pick it up.

We won't have criminality planned on here (SP&L forum please ). Although, I think it's quite brave of the Guardian to do a link to PH, their readers may become brainwashed by our lucid arguements.

I love irony! Have a look at some of BOR's political postings...

I'm sensing hostillity to my suggestion, but I don't want to be judgemental. We could discuss these feelings of negativity and bitternes in a mutual support group if there is enough interest ?

My door is always open.

I refer you to Private Eye for the answer

Better than the Independent's motoring section. Had a half page article written by Master-of-trouser-clips of the National cycle assocation about how people should make more journeys by bicycle and how good it is for their health and the environment. l didnt bother reading it again.

Guess the independent isn't especially car orientated then.

I think the Guardian is worse though, an even greater degree of Lentilism
