Great thread. Cheers for the link. I've had to push the Internet surfing device away from me in the hope I'll return to the garden to finish repairing the fence.

Nice one!   Those kind of pictures are always worth the time spent looking.   Not too many red things either....

[Junkman]

Will I survive the comments in the tread?

Please be honest. I'm still traumatised from last time I had to spend 10 minutes on Pissonmads.

Thanks for linking, i've just started perusing, never get bugger all done round here.

 

edit, its effin great, i'll be looking at cars in period all bloody night

 

edit, nearly 2 hours later and only on page 60 of 248, its period car porn but what a nostalgia trip too, the people the places, the haircuts

Ta for the link. I really like the first pic in the car park but when I realised I had to actually go through that many ancient post to find the pictures I gave up

I get the impression that Pistonheads are all upper middle class. Not what I expected.

That's a great thread. I remember looking at it ages ago but it's much better now.

[mercrocker]

It is a great thread but unfortunately waiting for the next page to load around 44/45/46 or somewhere I happened to read one of the posts.  

[gordonbennet]

nooooo don't read the posts.

Quick guide to Pistonheads posts for those who don't know:

 

Anything FWD is laughable, with the exception of the Golf GTi

Anything with less than 300 BHP is laughable

People who have normal slow family cars are pathetic

My BMW/Dad/cock/pay cheque is bigger/better than yours

I'm considerably richer than yow

Things that were fast in the 80s/90s are laughably slow now

German engineering/BMW/the Golf GTi is great

 

An awful place. It's like a thousand Jeremy Clarksons found out how to use an online forum.

I fully agree with part of one of those assertions.

 

Winner to be announced.

Dad had one of the first range rovers & kept it for years - here delivering a boat down to Spain in the early 80s:

First thing I read on there! Yuck
