Are you a Labour voter then?

You're not the only one, I assure you!

I'll be glad when all of this politics stuff is gone off of these fora.

I nearly did that too...

Then I thought if people can't at least respect my views then they're not worth the time anyway.

I know, i've been trying so hard not to get drawn in, but I succumbed

I so admire those PH'ers who are notably absent from contentious threads. I wish I had their restraint.

edited for typos, been drinking.

There's nothing wrong with the politics but there is something very unseemly about people who claim to be the informed majority and think of themselves as better than the average Joe calling each other names based on their politics.

Not saying I'm any better though, socialists.

No the rev limit is around 4500rpm. Its a Gentleman's Conveyance. Still if Warren ever lets it near me it'll come back with at least 100bhp a litre

Lab, Con or Lib, you've said some pretty cool stuff about politics on PH, BG.

(But your car still sucks )

You certainly wouldn't be welcomed by labour with a lovely motor like that!

But you're more than welcome here - why would you think otherwise? It's just a forum, and forums are for sharing information and expressing opinions ... hopefully nobody would condone exchanging insults but exchanging views and philosophies is surely what the pie and pi55take is all about

Maybe not in root and trunk land but the more nutured branches would be quite receptive I suspect. Plenty of people at that level.

Bet Honda could get over 600bhp out of a 6.75l with it still being reliable!

8mpg is pretty good for such a big car!
i can get my little 3.5 down to around 8 or 9mpg, but to equal the weight of a bentley, i would have to be towing five or six caravans!
