The King of PH.
Discussion
I think we should list the cars too as some cars are more "PH" than their swept volume might suggest, and might qualify some pretenders to the throne for a viva on their PHI score.
ie. I have had two (proper) mini's, both only 998cc, and both within 2 years of driving licencehood (I learnt in one of them!) but I'm certain they should add up to and better index than 0 or 2 (at time of purchase of the second one IYSWIM) depending on which way you do the scoring.
I'll hold fire listing all of my old bangers until there there is consensus on this. All I will say at this point is I'm sure I'm not the only one here who had owned a few in-betweeners which are far to to list in the "My Cars" section of the site.
Besides surely any true King should be able to trace his lineage back directly to Petrol Ted.
My scores would either be: 7-10 = -3
...or... (7*10.1)/11 = 6.42727272727272727272727272727273
...depending on method.
I prefer the second, but wonder if there should an element that is defined by your involvent on PH its self... Multipler for no. of posts or months on the boards.
Just a thought.

I included all mine in the score too!
What I meant was we would be including more info here than could be gleaned from a quick rifle through each others' profiles.
I was including my 1275cc Meastro and my 1.4 Renault 9 Sainbury's trolley stylee liftoff oversteer special!

Its high time we had a King. it seems only reasonable. Ted is after all God, and Twinners is the Pope, so we really should have a King. The king could then answer all questions on 'which luxury barge etc' by cutting the villages new born in half. or something. anyway, it'd be cool to be the king.
May i suggest that we assess and appoint our king purely on his PH value: not with litmus paper, but on his addiction to the motorised vehicle.
Heres how I think we should do it:
number of cars owned - number of years you've legally been allowed to drive for = pistonhead index
The highest positive number will therefore be the person most stoopid for cars and therefore should rightly be our leader.
Ill go first.
Ive had 22 cars, and Ive been allowed to legally drive for 16 years, giving me a PH index of 6.
now you.

this criteria sounds a bit weak..
I mean, what if you are really, really old ...say over 40 or something, and you have had loads of cars in the past (4 Austin Princesses, 2 lancias, a fiat 132 and some shitty rovers for example)
Doesnt mean you wont drive like Miss Daisy does it?
No, I think laptimes round bedford west circuit would be a fairer representation of the required regal qualities, or perhaps total owned horsepower, or perhaps fastest road speed on the autobahn of course.
