Yes, yes, I know that's what General Gassing is there for. In the good old days you could get away with it, now I haven't visited GG for 12 - 18 months but it may all have changed but I doubt it. i imagine a dull car related thread will be on page 35 within 10 minutes or so.
I think a forum where we could chat about varying cars and get an unbiased opinion would be great. For example, I'm thinking that instead of a Cerbie to complement the Chimaeraski I might fancy a Maseratti Quatroportte (sp?) but if I post it in the Cerbera forum only, or the Maser forum I'm going to get a pretty one sided argument!

So come one Oh Great One, whadda ya say?

Mark, it's not really on to dismiss General Gassing as a waste of time and yet in the same breath say that you haven't looked at it for 18 months.

Mark, I know what you mena, I rarely go in there myself. I probably havent been there more than 10 times in the last 6months (Ted will prove me worng now!).
But...
If I want some info I still go in there and generally get it back pretty quick.

The key to using general gassing is the timing.
Asking a car related question on a Friday afternoon isn't a good idea as everyone is busy post jokes and games. Best wait till monday, but then dont post too early. On a monday mornign the new thread rate is huge and it will get chucked down the list pretty quick.
Id wait for Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

Whilst there's noise, at least 50% of the content is currently very car related.

Ted, please don't get me wrong. Was not dismissing it out of hand.
Like I said it may have changed, I'll go dip my toe in the water later.




Don't think I said waste of time though, more less car chat?

Changed my mind. Can I just have a PH secretary instead?
Obviously it will have to be kept on the motoring theme so I'll take on eof the motorshow models.
I dont really care if she can spell either.
