Mr Average Pistonheader

[PatHeald]

Perhaps it is because most of us have never met, but in cyberspace I have a mental image of the typical PHer which runs pretty much as follows......

1.Male aged 29.

2.Single, but in long term relationship.

3.Drives TVR Chimaera.

4.Has six points.

5.Works in IT, earns about £40k.

6.Has a bike license and wants a Ducati.

7.Likes listening to Pink Floyd.

8.Eats Chicken Madras, drinks Stella.

Am I too far off the mark?

By the way, I am none of the above (apart from the Madras, Stella and Pink Floyd bits)
