So, this bloke claims to be from PistonHeads.....

[Garlick]

...and it's all very odd.

Yesterday, a chap turned up at a specialist car garage in Hertfordshire in a blue people carrier claiming to be from PistonHeads. He's around 30 years old, a little bit scruffy with a beard and glasses and is over 6ft tall (no, it wasn't me).

The odd thing is, his car contains a lot of electronic equipment, mobile phones and a large computer screen (we have no idea what this equipment does) and when asked he refused to give a card or his name.

He didn't do anything wrong as such, but if you see a chap like this who says he is from PH I can assure you that he isn't.

.......It's not you is it Ted?

[SystemParanoia]

maybe he robbed the equipment out of a tv detector van

What was he there to do?

Smells like Dokic to me

Should have turned up in a TVR, might have been a bit more believable!

Do you PH employees crumple to dust or melt Wicked Witch-style if you're forced to use a people carrier?

[The Wookie]

Did he try and correct the dealer's spelling or use of grammar?

Perhaps he wished to ask a person interested in exotic cars what sort of diesel snot box he should buy if his wife will let him?

If either case is true, he most likely is from Pistonheads

ETA or throw a can of red bull, or remap his 335d, or whatever cheap pun is going on this week

I seem to recall that the PH numberplate is actually on a people carrier (is that still the case, Paul?!) - an SMax?

Makes you wonder what the guy was trying to get out of the garage! Perhaps he just meant he was on PH as opposed to part of the team?

simple test for true PH validity, just start the converstation with, "So, the other day i was overtaking a 335d (mapped)...." and see if he falls on the floor laughing!! ;-)

[SystemParanoia]

just say it quietly with a nudge lol

If they do they either aren't, or shouldn't, be members.

That's what you meant, right?

The thing is not all of the members on PH find that funny. If somebody made that 'joke' or the Redbull one to my face I'd just turn around and walk off.

[SystemParanoia]

then you'd get the can to the back of your head.

and so would begin another 15page thread lol

This garage: Which door did he use? [/tiredoldclichehumour]

No

True, but a playboy lifestyle makes you taller. Apparently.
