If you had to choose one PH thread.......

[Pikey P]

If you had to choose one PH thread to lure a new member in what would it be. I spend many hours on here close to tear of laughter with some of the threads. He keeps asking why im chuckling to myself at work but a lot of the theads at the mo are "in" jokes.

I know, you will suggest the Legendary threads wiki but i would like just one thread for him to read.

See if we can sucker another human being into spending too many hours on here.

Lord Pikey.

My favourite would have to be:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

However when I told a few work mates about it they thought I'd gone slightly insane.

[Pikey P]

That is one that i have never had the time to read. I will make it today's priority.

[ALawson]

For community spirit the one about the Elise car jumpers that were identified and evidence collected! Great stuff.

[Darkslider]

Not sure but speaking for myself, 10penceshort's thread about his car crash and subsequent experiences brought me to the site. Not funny or amusing but nevertheless.

Aerofoil's exploits. That had to be one of the fastest growing threads I have seen.

Yes, CY88`s thread is the best one for me, and we are still waiting for updates...

[GBRM]

I can't remmeber what it was called but the thread about the campervan with the bondage photos is a classic - I've sent it to female friends and EVEN they found that one funny!!

[Alleggerita]

Probably 10p's Prison thread. Felt drained after reading it.

[LC23]

Probably just get him to read some of Flashman's shenanigans. They make me laugh.

[aussiebruce]

I'm with 10p short's prison. Got me to sign up (and slow down)

[tashie]

Hmm, well i wouldn't have thought it would be MY first post! All the abuse i got!

Mind you, I'm still here.

Oh fk I broke the rules and suggested a car topic

The one I suggested had a MX5 in the first post and in one of the last (albeit a artists impression)!

+1 for 10Ps thread; compelling reading, I read the whole thing in one afternoon.

The thread about the pointy eared escape artist was a good one too; for me it was one of those 'snigger out loud in the office' posts that I couldn't read continuously for fear of laughing out loud.

Some of the ones that have been deleted- for example the magic engine fixing gloop that fixes any engine in the known universe. It even makes a 335d(mapped) perform better.
