Not sure about you but to the majority of the population a 1 series m sport coupe which is around 28k new? is an expensive car especially for a 19 year old.
You can get a new 1 Series Coupe for £3k deposit and £289 a month for 48 months on BMW Select, big advert on the BMW website.

It is nothing like buying an Audi R8. I remain confused as to why he's decided to tell us all as if its just like people not beleiving a 19 year old would buy an R8.

His thread was different - the focus was on whether it was a good idea, not whether he was a liar. Hardly anyone didn't beleive him!

What makes me laugh are the semi braggarts who always add their own little glory posts: well im not 19, but when I was 20 I owned a porsche and it wasn't too much trouble to get my turbo gold plated but it was hard work keeping it shiny.

Man i nearly laughed out loud hahaha....That's the general feeling im getting from this thread tho!. While the OP could well be a troll it seems there are also a bunch of people just waiting to prove him wrong and if they can prove him wrong it seems like there is a big orgasm waiting for them.Its this passion i see from some people that makes me think they are indeed jealous,Getting such pleasure from proving somebody wrong says alot about a person by its self.
Not how I put it, but got to agree with the sentiment. I think the OP has come out of this thread better than most TBH.

Why shouldn't they enjoy themselves in sports cars after a life of working?

Rather see a silver haired bloke in a sports car than a in a Honda Jazz. Good for them!

Lots of people having a discussion on a topic and the occasional irritating tt popping up and asking for the thread to be closed.

Pretty much sums it up I think.

Forgot to add simoid randomly trolling in a self righteous manner, but you've probably already picked up on that from hid previous post. smile

Op posts asking for insurance on R8. Wording and 'look at me' mentality is apparent to many.

Useful posts are given and ignored.

Op shady about himself and business.

Custard is called. Anyone who doesn't believe him MUST be jealous. There is no other reason to not believe something, other than jealousy.

Someone went to the moon and had pictures.

Much bickering and arguing ensue.

Someone managed to get a BRAND NEW 1 series diesel at 19. His friends are jealous.

No one in the thread is a winner to be honest. (Except for people like me who drive shoite cars but don't carehehe)

Pistonheads: Bangernomics matters.

To have the default mindset that everybody else does tells us more about your own values and attitudes to material wealth.

yes

The default accusation of jealousy on PH says it all really. You see it applied to all manner of people including, laughably, anti-capitalist protestors.

To accuse others of jealousy, to my mind, demonstrates a lack of ability to see a situation from another's perspective. It suggests that despite what's actually said, this person must share my values, and must wish to be in my financially elevated situation.

FWIW, there's nothing about an Audi R8 that makes me particularly jealous. Each to their own, but there are hundreds of other cars I'd rather have for the money.

Also, Addictive's post a few pages ago, something along the lines of 'you're just jealous because I make more in a week than you make in a year' was just plain obnoxious. No-one speaks like that in person unless they want to alienate everyone else in the room. Saying something like that doesn't make me feel 'ooh, I'm so jealous, I wish I was you', it makes me thing 'what an arrogant prick, I wish he'd shut up.'
How the hell would you like me to reply? It's annoying as it is with people asking me financial questions, well fk you guys its NONE of your business. This is a car forum, where users share their knowledge and opinions.

80% of this thread is not helpful at all.

The guys on audisrs.com are much more helpful. I've requested this thread to be deleted, but I see the mods haven't yet deleted it. So mods, if you're reading this reply, please delete this thread!

Hi OP!

So how are you finding the R8 in these wintery conditions?

Had the back end out on a roundabout yet?

Or

OP asks simple question about insurance quote for possible car purchase.

As op is 19 and car is expensive he is immediately accused of being a liar/fantasist/schoolboy

Some useful posts are replied to and posters are thanked by op for their help.

OP refuses to answer personal questions that are irrelevant to his question.

Posters get more abusive and call custard, even though op stated he hasn't bought car yet as not sure if insurance is viable.

Op gets fed up and shows his age with a couple of ill advised posts.

Posters decide without proof that he is without doubt a troll and they are brilliant and definitely in no way jealous.

Much bickering and arguing ensue.

I enjoy myself as it gives me something to do on a dull Tuesday.

Pistonheads : guilty until proven innocent.

This is the key part. Nothing stupider than taking a forum too seriously.

I am entertained, therefore I have changed my opinion of the thread to: Success.
