What percentage of stuff on PH is made up

[theplayingmantis]

All these threads about 'things' that happened to people or what they saw.

I'm sure some are true, but all?

[parabolica]

45%

I may have made that number up

[Thermobaric]

Somewhere between 17.4% and 22.1%.

[Ninja59]

100% until proven by custard.

[AAGR]

And how many of the comments about controversial cars are made by people who may not have even seen one in the metal, let alone driven or owned one ?

I'd say more than 50% ....

[r11co]

Frozen sausages. 335d (mapped). MX-5. 'The imagine'.

Am I doing this right?

[C0ffin D0dger]

37% of all statistics are made up.

[kpeter202]

60% of the time 100% of these things are true.

[KrazyIvan]

I think it's more like elevnty percent

Apparently invented by a PHer's uncle.

[ChasW]

Does it even matter.

What I value is insight, informed debates and helpful tips. I largely ignore the "I hate Vauxhalls" or "anything below 200bhp is under powered" nonsense.

There are some brilliant threads on here particularly people sharing their experiences of buying sheds, painstakingly restoring neglected cars or interesting motoring adventures.

[Shakermaker]

Oh people can come up with statistics to prove anything Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that.

[SantaBarbara]

There is a very odd thread currently in Speed and Plod and the Law which has all the hallmarks of a massive wind-up

[CubanPete]

Welshbeef - Eric x 100%

Basically everything anyone says is bks until proven otherwise, this goes for the internet or real life. Anyone who doesn't believe that is a fool.

[SantaBarbara]

Some people like telling complicated stories and seeing all the answers

[Bobberoo99]

Seeing as I was accused of lying on another thread by a particular PHer, who apparently was so incensed by my responses to him exploded in an apoplectic fury, i'll refrain from answering the question posed by the OP!!! 42.87% probably, maybe, possibly!!
