Wonder if the inspiration was from PH?

Nah, can't be - no suggestion of a MX-5 or some sort of yank tank. wink

No, the inspiration was from every car forum ever.

These two

Dear Total Prick From An Internet Forum, I’ve had my 2005 Golf TDI for two years now and it’s been totally fault free. However, just this week the central locking has started playing up. Sometimes it won’t unlock all the doors but if I lock it again and then unlock it that usually works. Is this a known fault with these cars? Is it worth getting it looked at or should I just live with it? Cheers! Simon, Dundee

A Total Prick From An Internet Forum replies… Let me ask you this – have you ever heard of a little thing called the search facility? It would allow you to look for other people on the site who have had similar problems without wasting everyone’s time with ridiculous threads like this. This is not some free automotive electrical consultancy you know. Also, Golf TDI? Seriously? Why would you even buy something like that unless you were a total idiot who knew nothing about cars? When I bought my Honda Civic Type-S four years ago I looked at literally every car on sale at the time and the HCT-S was literally the best car available of any kind. Why you didn’t buy one of those I cannot understand. My central locking works perfectly. There’s a reason why yours doesn’t. Is it National Idiot Day today or something?

Dear Total Prick From An Internet Forum, I’ve got a beautiful blue Citroen Saxo. I call her Sadie! Does anyone else have a Saxo! I love my Saxo!!! Claire, Guildford

A Total Prick From An Internet Forum replies… Hey Claire! Welcome to the site! Like the sound of your Saxo! Great cars! I see you’re in Guildford. That’s not far from me. You might see me around sometimes in my black Honda Civic Type-S. We should have a forum meet-up some time! Hope you’re still enjoying your Saxo! Do you have any pictures of yourself in your Saxo? Take care. TPFAIF x


They are spot on for here hehe

I thought the first one in particular was definately spot on for here - it's the standard PH response to every person who is thinking about a 4x4 or similar for a new baby hehe

I assumed the use of the Mazda CX-5 was hinting towards that... wink

yes I've lurked on quite a few model specific forums and this seems to cover them. Definately not tailored to PH.

It just misses out on absolute authenticity because it's lacking a certain someone recommending particularly unsuitable or vehicles exactly the opposite of the request as well as answering every question on every thread.

confused



And perhaps refuses to give the result of poll's that they have started until everyone on the thread agrees with them?

I think there was banter between Richard Porter and Chris Harris a few weeks back (I follow both on Twitter) about the narrow minded, over opinionated people you can find on forums.. I'm sure that it was, in no way, inspiration for this article smile

Isn't it also missing somebody asking a provocative question in their reply then masking it as otherwise at the end of said reply by stating 'Genuine question!'?

Genuine question...

True, for the full PH authenticity, that first one about the 4x4 needs "fk that, just get a Corvette"
