Because he's excited and surprised about something unusual he's found. What about you?

Yeah, it’s not like it’s a forum for talking about cars or anything….

That is quite remarkable and deserves a small applause.

I bought a cheap french hatchback 7 years ago (still have it now). Despite the dealership allegedly servicing the air con prior to purchase, it's been redundant since I drove out the dealership. It was 4 years old at the time I bought it.

Classic case of "air cone just re-gassed" but in reality the compressor was already fed!!

My guess... previous owners knew how to use a/c, rather than try and save half an mpg by not running it. Thus, seals and compressors remained in good working order.

I got the impression it was more referencing OP's historical posting / habit of starting random late night threads which may or may not be when under the influence dependent on their content.

Such as - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

No this is not about caring what others think it's about you driving a pos you don't like for me it's megane shakin that ass a sea kids toy plastic and controls sol light i wasn't sure if i was driving

Or this one - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

...where OP starts a thread complaining about people abusing others (him) on forums when commenting on / replying to threads. Another poster notes that OP was generally the one doing exactly what he was currently complaining about. Followed later by another poster highlighting OP's charming response on a thread where someone had posted asking for support after witnessing someone die.

Not to mention yesterday when somebody posted that they were on holiday and they saw that a person had collapsed. They tried to give them CPR but they died in front of them, and they were finding it hard to stop thinking about it.

The OP responded with just this comment: "and you log onto piston heads while on holiday to tell us"

I didn't realise this was the same person. I did see that and thought dimly of it. What is OP getting out of the things he posts to total strangers? Why does he seem surprised that he attracts hostility back?
